You can't put the racist card on Hunter. He has shown true compassion and can still uphold the law! Amazing!

Duncan is unapologetic.

"The real question for the politicians in Mexico is what are you doing to your people to make them want to cross burning deserts to get away?" he said.

Currently, the Border Patrol has fencing on less than 4 percent of the U.S.-Mexico divide, or about 70 miles.

Let Freedom Ring, a group that advocates tighter border security, pegs the cost of building a fence along the entire border at $8 billion. An AP-Ipsos poll in late March found that two-thirds of those surveyed do not think it would work.

Duncan reluctantly acknowledges that tougher enforcement in San Diego pushed some migrants into the desert, where many have died. His remedy: extend San Diego's steel-and-mesh barriers along the entire border.

"If you had 400 high school students dying in a canal each year, the first thing you'd do is fence it," he said.

John said he has never voted for Duncan, figuring that his brother didn't need the support. But he has called on his brother to help his effort to save lives. Duncan once joined him in the desert and, according to John, gave $3,000 to Water Stations from his campaign fund.

By people I know and trust that actually know him, WIA.

It is anecdotal, but the question was asked.

By the way, for the record, I was about 8 months ahead of the Duncan supporters here. That is when I started researching the guy, and asked friends that knew him what he was like personally. And I think the fact that he gave thousands of dollars from his own campaign funds to leave those gallons of water in the desert for illegals coming into this country will inoculate him from the racist charges you have to know will be coming.
