It is S T U P I D for higher-ups to force our very human men and women into these complicated situations, trying to protect the safety and lives of the illegals FROM THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN.

When a WALL WOULD CEASE all these problems and all the other related complications that nobody outside of Kinney County gives a shit about.

One expensive solution?

Or an endless STREAM of EXPENSIVE LIFE-RISKING, FAMILY-STRESSING stop-gap half measures against an endless network of well-paid, well-armed sociopaths.
