You only go out to your land every 3 years. You know you have illegals on it. You don't know what they're doing or growing. You paying a heck of a lot more than mere property tax - medical, education, or and do they drive? How about their trash and waste on your land and floating down into a neighbor's drinking well? You're setting yourself up for arrest and/or your land being confiscated. But hey, you don't care.
It will go into my well before it goes into a neighbor's. My well is 325 feet deep into the lower trinity.
But hey, you don't care.
Correct, if my property was in Val Verde, or Webb, or one of the heavily trafficked areas, I probably would care, but it's not.
Until the powers that be do something to slow down the influx, we are going to have illegal immigrants in Texas, whether they are passing through, camping out, or crammed 20 people into overpriced apartments with substandard wiring and plumbing.
They come here because people hire them. I am not one of those who hires them. I do know those who hire them. I have seen the living conditions a local developer provided for his illegals during a wet cold winter-it was 3 pieces of sheet metal. They cooked on an open fire. Their employer was so generous. I would see him buying eggs, fifty lb sacks of potatoes, masa trigo, pinto beans rice and onions at HEB.
I would hope that most people who hire them at least treat them as persons deserving of some human dignity. As for my little corner, if they want to camp/squat by my little spring that's fine by me. I assure you I've had both hunters and poachers out there who broke a lot more laws, and did a lot more trashing of things than the illegals out there have.
