Fucking California Hippies

[Stefka]

My uncle kept finding dead bodies on his south Texas ranch. People who were trying to cross would get dehydrated and disoriented and stumble onto his land and die horrible deaths. He found a young girl once - probably 15 - and he couldn't take it anymore, so he started leaving out water jugs. Fewer dead bodies, he feels better about life in general. The poetry sounds kind of geigh, but I see nothing wrong with helping dying dehydrated people get some water.

obviously it's easier said than done, but the don't feed the deer approach applies imo.
more feed-more deer, more suffering

Think of the lives a border fence would save. Even if someone is lenient toward illegal immigration, refusing to build a fence is practically a crime against humanity.

People will try to cross whether or not water is left out. They know the risks. More people survive because water is left out, so yes, more people might get in. But I would hope that no one is so cold that they actually wish death on someone for illegally entering.

what if one man's suffering prevents the suffering of numerous others?

Way to wax philosophic. In this context, I don't think that the death of one immigrant would prevent the suffering of numerous others. Immigrants get killed by their coyotes and die of dehydration all the time - they know the risks but they still try to enter. The availability of water jugs doesn't have a substantial impact on the influx of illegal immigrants.

What if a country's refusal to properly fence its borders provides an attractive nuesance that is luring hundreds if not thousands of people to their deaths every year?

It's odd to me that if the a US citizen fails to properly latch the gate around their swimming pool, they'll get sued when someone sneaks-in and drowns.

That's fine. I'm all for it.

...Also place border agents there so they can be rounded up and sent back to mexico where they can be SAFE. You can't put out water and at the same time, encourage them to break the law.

some of them smuggle drugs, so you'd also be helping people smuggle drugs into the coutnry.

(and if they don'[t show up cuz of the border patrol - well, then they clearly have picked what's improtant to them. Die rather than risk not getting into us).

The attractive nuisance created by not properly fencing-in our property is what causes the suffering of numerous others.
