Water stations in the desert- aiding illegal immigration?
There are deaths occurring in the US/Mexico border desert. Individuals are crossing illegally and dying from heat related injuries. As a response public outcry has demanded things such as water stations be erected along the way.
There are hundreds of sites to go to about this subject; I’m sure most who frequent this area have heard about it. I’m interested in what other think about the debate that’s continuing to grow.
Is it inhumane to not provide a safe environment for illegal immigration along the Mexican border?
Should people be held accountable for their actions whereas no one is forcing individuals to venture into the boiling desert?
Would posting border patrol agents at the water stations be the same as not having them? (knowing they would be avoided)
Would having a strong military presence at the border be a strong enough deterrent?
