"Their goal: to aid lost, abandoned or injured illegal immigrants."

BS Thei goal is to intentionally break the laws of the United States and put the lives of it's citizens at risk. Get a real job, you hippie loser.

Strip the moonbats of their citizenship and deport them with their illegal buddies.

Sounds like vehicle seizures are in order

The medical examiner's office had to rent a refrigerated semi-truck to handle the increasing number of corpses – 50 to 60 over the capacity of 120 in the cooler where they're usually kept, said Dr. Bruce Parks, the chief medical examiner in Pima County. At least half of those are bodies of illegal immigrants.

And I imagine the law requires an autopsy for each of these deaths which is expensive. These people don't have the decency to die on their own side of the border so even dead, they are burdening our taxpayers.

Count me with the 8 out of 10 landowners who don't care about the deaths. I never have had much concern for people who were victims of their own crime.

...people who were victims of their own crime country's inept, corrupt leaders and gubamint. ;-)

"I don't think I'm doing anything wrong."

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, AND CAN INCLUDE NONPROFIT ASSOCIATIONS.

Ya know, I really do appreciate what this guy is doing for his fellow man. But, I can't help but notice, he's driving in the wrong direction.

True ... right up until they stepped across our border. Then they became criminals.

Let these well-intentioned, but misguided lefties work IN MEXICO to make Mexico fit for its people...

Two humanitarian volunteers arrested last month with three illegal immigrants in their vehicle have been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Daniel Strauss and Shanti Sellz and the three men were stopped by U.S. Border Patrol agents 25 miles from the Mexican border on July 9.

Strauss and Sellz, volunteers with the No More Deaths group, were arrested under a federal statute making it a crime to transport illegal entrants.

The two activists told the agents they were taking the men to Tucson's Southside Presbyterian Church because they were vomiting and suffering from bloody diarrhea.

Border Patrol officials have said the men were not ill and refused medical aid once in custody.

Federal prosecutors said Strauss and Sellz were indicted Wednesday on one count each of conspiracy to transport an illegal immigrant and transporting an illegal immigrant.

They are scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 11.

Prosecutors said the conspiracy charge carries a 10-year maximum sentence and the transporting charge carries a five-year maximum sentence.

""We have a legal right to do what we're doing and a moral obligation," said Margo Cowan, a No More Deaths attorney. "We're in the epicenter ... of a war zone."

I'm speechless...sigh.

Giving aid to the sick and dying is one's Christian duty and a good thing. However,

He's not going to notify the Border Patrol either. The volunteers call the Border Patrol only if the immigrant requests it. In fact, if an immigrant slips away into Tucson after a medical evacuation – as Ana does a few days later – they don't notify law enforcement. "We are not an arm of the government," Mr. Johnston said.

No, but you're an American citizen. The duty to see that the laws are enforced is not just that of some disembodied "government" or "law enforcement" - that duty belongs to all citizens, just like I teach the Scouts in our Troop when we cover "Duty to God and my country" and "A Scout is ... loyal, ... obedient ..."

they were vomiting and suffering from bloody diarrhea.

No health hazard there. Just a bad case of indigestion.
