just heard on the news that humanitarians will be setting up water stations in the dessert for illegal immigrants so that they don't get dehydrated on their journey, they said that "they arent victims" etc blah blah blah


thats kind of illegal isnt it? something like aiding felony?

A 12 page debate ensues.

pretty much yes

The illegal aliens go through hell to get to the US because they live in extreme poverty. These people make less $2.00 USD a day!! They don't go through what the go through for the pleasure of it, it's desperationn to feed, house, and clothe themselfs and families. If the situation was reversed, could anyone here guaranty me that they wouldn't do the same? I don't have a proplem with traeting them like what they are...people and give them water.

I don't think it would be aiding a felony because I think you have to be a citizen to commit a felony....but ugh.....I mean, yeah, those people shouldn't be trying to get into the country illegally, and if officially we don't want it happening, then what should be done is to set up water stations and after the imigrants are well and hydrated, put them on a bus back to mexico. That would say...well, you gave it a good college try, but you didn't do the necessary things to get here, so you're going back until you do it correctly

Go to Hermiston, Oregon

I agree that these immigrants are very poor and need to be helped but then, on whom do we blame the increasing crime rate? not to mention degradation of many urban neighborhoods?
No. of immigrants needs to be checked.

Thats a f***** disgrace. What do we owe most of these people, absolutely nothing. Sure they are suffering in their countries, and I understand that. But why is it our problem?

I think it is more of a felony to employ illegal immigrants, which if I am not mistaken takes place on a large scale in the US states bordering Mexico. But of course, illegal immigrants are cheap, and therefore profitable.

if we listen to Geldof and his friends its quite easy to end this.Ofcourse i'm sceptical

[Niko_Fx]

I don't think that giving them water will increase the # of illegal immigrants... It will just make their journey a tiny little bit better. What encourages them to keep coming is the availability of work (as Henk mentioned) which is often granted by Americans looking for cheap labor.

Go to Hermiston, Oregon

Why Oregon??? Why not Lewiston, it's pretty bleak there.

[baddabang]

Wouldnt the border patrol just watch the water taps?

haha thats great!

"are you feeling better, did you get enough water?"
"si"
"oh thats good, how are you feeling now?"
"muy bueno"
"good, good, now get your ass on the bus. Tu ass in el autobus."

Work Visa through my dad. He had a decent education, money in Bolivares and Dollars, stocks in the Dow Jones and Nasdaq, worked hard for many years in British / Dutch corporations in Vzla etc. (Not bragging about it, but it is the kind of immigration that can come in handy in the US) and thanks to his reputation and such we were able to move over here.. It's almost impossible for an average Joe to go through the US immigration, especially Central / South Americans on which the US is the toughest... It's even hard to get a Tourist Visa for some.

I'll expand on this later focusing on Tourist, Student, Investor, Work, Sport, etc Visas. Seriously a tough process to go through. It's funny to just say "Do it legally and pay taxes" because I'm sure that they'd be willing to do so if given the chance.
