Litterers or Life-Savers?

Government prosecutes activists who leave water for immigrants

By Kari Lydersen

Walt Staton faces up to a year in prison and a $10,000 fine for littering. Though he doesn't expect to actually get jail time, the 27-year-old Tucson web designer still thinks the charges are ironic and disproportionate.

    I think Hawkes is right. “I guess this is just convenient for them to drive in from Tucson and do something that makes them feel good.”

    The problem here is that people are dying while crossing the border. How about they do something really effective to help these people get to their low-paid jobs in the US. Why don’t they start being ethical coyotes, like El Andy? Or if that is too hard, why don’t they go to Mexico and improve the living conditions there so Mexicans won’t feel the need to bail on their country and go to the US.
