Robert Reames, director of the city of Tombstone's public works, stands by a water pipe laid in the 1880s that is no longer supplying water to Tombstone. The pipe is located in Carr Canyon and is fed by an above ground spring. Illegal immigrants have been using the Carr Canyon spring for bathing and other uses. (Ed Honda-Herald/Review)

Illegal immigrants have been using the Carr Canyon spring for bathing and other uses.

"...and other uses": a euphemism for taking a dump relieving one's self in the water.

How do you propose to do that? With one big long fence? It's quite a logistical problem to close the entire southern and northern borders, not to mention the air and sea access. If you bother to "think" about it, you'd see just how difficult it would be.

But if all you want to do is "feel", then rant on.

Borders? What borders?

Umm... how are you tying in General Frank's observations about another terrorist attack and the drinking water of this remote stream?

Just curios.

"How do you propose to do that?"

What is wrong with "Operation Wetback"? That was a good Republican plan by Eisenhower. It worked! In the 1950's our country didn't have half the technology nor manpower that it does now.

What is the excuse for not securing our borders and upholding our immigration laws to protect the American people???

There should be no borders. We must all learn to live together as one happy family. (/sarcasm)

Damn It! The entrance to Carr Canyon is just a half mile walk from the font door of the home I used to live in in Hereford AZ. I used to hike that canyon weekly and daily during the spring when the waterfalls were pouring! This time of year the Aspens toward the top of Carr Peak would be beautiful with color. I hate that foriegn SOBs have no respect for our laws or our lands! I say allow private citizens to patrol those canyons...armed! I'd hate to see these areas closed because of illegals. That will only keep out law abiding citizens.

The biggest danger to this pipeline is.....our government. It comes from an open source and leaks in a hundred places. It has been in use since 1882 with no problems but the State keeps threatening to shut it down. It is out of compliance with a dozen regulations and I don't know how they keep it open. The last big push to shut it off was about 10 years ago. Some jerk from the state condemned it until he was shut up by someone higher (and smarter).
