"Is that not the case?"
I have no idea.

"...well trammeled, garbage strewn path...."
Not here, sounds like over by you in California.

What's what point about borders. A bunch of bureaucrats created this so-called border. I had no idea what was in their minds, if anything. My neighbor is my neighbor, and our relationship is personal with us, and not on some dimwick in D.C. that drew a line on a map which has no relevance to the geography, indigenous life, or the desires of my neighbors and I.

I do whatever I can do to further freedom for individuals.
If I chose to offer my guest a cold beer from my fridge, or water from a jug, or shelter, or food, my guests are welcome.

If the feds don't care about life, I do.

This thread isn't about you and your neighbors, it's about the thousands of destitute people who flood into the United States every year from every direction.

Offering your welcome guests a cold beer is one thing, aiding them in breaking the law against taking up residence in the United States, or having your house looted on a regular basis, or having your hospitals overloaded with destitute people who have no legal right to be in the country in the first place, is entirely another. You're talking about welcome guests, while I'm talking about unwelcome guests.

If they only wanted a cold glass of water it'd be one thing but they want free health care, free education, free housing and the rest. Look at the housing projects going up all along the border and what language is mainly spoken in them. There is a limit of unskilled jobs left in the US and not all are coming here to work or will find it if they are. The border region is an economic disaster, wages are falling and jobs are leaving the area, the Medicaid system is in trouble ---maybe the breaking of it will be the one good thing all this immigration does.
