Some people consider it their sacred Christian duty to give food/water to the thirsty/hungry.
And Trump wants to arrest them for it? No words
Even if they don't agree with the people coming to the country this way
Most people have enough empathy to at least not want to see people die this way.
This is not "America First" or "Patriotic" it is cruel, evil and Unchristian.
I find it interesting they don't complain about employers who hire illegal immigrants. That is where the problem is coming from.
That's false and you know it! Over and and over in here we have said we want e-verify mandated and the employers who knowingly have illegal aliens working for them fined and jailed and whatever other legal means we have to shut them down.
The exchange above illustrates the difference in thinking between liberals and conservatives.
To liberals, it's about what FEELS right. There's no consideration given to consequences.
To conservatives, it's about looking at the entire picture and factoring in the costs and impact. Encouraging illegal aliens results in more of them, and it hurts Americans who pay the costs - in more ways than one. To working class taxpayers in particular, it hurts their schools and their children's education, negatively impacts their housing value as the illegal aliens group up 15 or more in a SFH, raises their property taxes because the local schools need more money for ESOL classss, more teachers in general, and free lunch programs. To the elderly, who are often relegated to sub-standard Medicaid facilities, money that could be used to improve conditions is diverted to paying for illegal aliens. To lower income people, it's about losing out on jobs that go to illegals willing to accept less.
In summary, liberals go with feelings. Conservatives go with a full analysis, and go with reason.
This ^^^^ all the way.
Also factor in Illegals increased strain of the criminal justice system, health care system, welfare system.
Yep, gotta love those Pharisees. Praying in public, passing by people in need ...
No, it's about not aiding and abetting foreigners trying to crash our border illegally by leaving food and water out for them "beforehand" while they continue on their journey to do so. Just calling them plain ole people is a great dishonesty.
Do you ever complain about employers who hire illegal immigrants?
Absolutely! Search out my numerous posts doing so along with other anti-illegal immigration conservatives who have said the same thing. However, not all illegals are coming here to work and those people need to be prevented from getting into our country and dealt with also.
Funny the left keeps bashing bible bangers, religion and the Bible, that is until they want to hide behind it.
Separation of church and state. the Bible has not a thing to do with enforcing laws. At least it shouldn't.
I know, these pro-illegals like to use the phrase "separation of church and state" to demonize Christians but when it suits their narrative they quote the Bible but they spin God's words to fit their narrative to do so. Evidence right here under this topic.

Once again, this isn't about giving water to someone, legal or illegal right in front of you who is apparently dehydrated or dying of thirst as most of us have no problem with that. It's leaving food and water out for them before they even reach that stage so that they can continue on with their journey to violate our border and immigration laws. Why can't you and yours decipher that difference? That latter is aiding and abetting.

You don't have to be a Christian to have empathy and not want to see people die of thirst or hunger.
Most people wouldn't want to see that happen...no matter what their religious beliefs...or even if they have none.
There is just a tiny bit of human compassion and a tiny bit of empathy required.
