Ya i wasnt sayin the issue was taking water. In that case, who lives near the border and wishes we would deport deadbeat Americans who don't work and sap tax dollars from hard working American taxpayers and would you mind if they take a drink on the way out of the country?

I worked in Eagle Pass, TX in 2010 and we saw a lot of illegals crossing our ranch. Sleeping in tent blinds, under tower blinds, filling up canteens in water troughs.
I was taking a guest hunting one morning, opened the zipper to our tent blind and two guys flew out the door running, knocked me over and scared the crap out of me. It was a serious problem then. My respect goes to the border patrol down there, they were fast to respond when called, and showed a lot of presence. Most of the illegals we saw in groups were unarmed, but the coyotes were usually armed. They stayed away from the groups, ahead of them to lead them but far enough to escape them if caught . Watched and videoed a lot of them while scouting for deer. They are a determined bunch!
I too, am curious about the current situation. Has it worsened or tightened up ? Following ...

Az had to close 3 border crossing bridges (ports of entry) because of the massive influx. Last I heard Abbott deckard SOE and sent in troops to guard the border.

Most of the invaders have cell phones, so they should say "can't call their family on the American tax payers dime". We should put the invaders in work camps for 5 years when caught, before sending them home. They would stop coming. We should highly discourage illegal aliens, with strong penalties and make it easier for guest workers to come here legally Keith

A work camp would not deter them. The majority of illegals (regardless of origin) are feeling extreme poverty, extreme crimes/ gangs/ cartels, socialism and 3rd world countries. There's no real consequence that will deter them, how will they pay their penalties when they make a few US dollars a day? There's a lot that are caught sent to our prison system and it's a cushy life compared to their former life. They get deported come back and do it again. They get all the sane treatment or prisoners get. 3 squares free health care etc...
At least we would get work out of them. We need immigrants, but not all immigrants. There needs to be a fairly easy, legal way to let foreigners in to work, that quickly gets rid of them if they have issues. Keith

I wouldn't get too worked up about someone needing a drink of water. Would you get worked up about someone crapping in your front yard ?
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

I live close enough to see those hockey-stick wielding Canadians sneaking across with their maple syrup, trying to get our kids all hyped up on the stuff...
