Bs. Just like if DC was on the border. It could and would be secured.
Illegals and Our West Texas Hunting Property

Mexico is catholic. They allow Mexicans in their churches. The Vatican is more like the White House, you can tour parts, but the rest is closed off for security reasons. If you ever get the chance go see it, do it. It’s spectacular. The question was would Jesus be pizzed if illegals broke in a cabin for food. I don’t think so, but again, I’m not an expert in that area

Not a chance, ever seen how tall the wall is around the Vatican?
Intent
My intent with this post was to see what others were or were not doing to secure their hunting property. It was not a religious/WWJD or what is humane question. If I am traveling and get hungry or thirsty and I may or may not have money to purchase some food or water, my needs don't give me the right to break into someone's house to steal it. Remember, Thou shall not steal. Thanks for all the comments. I think my original post has already served its purpose.

Excellent point! The fact is illegals are doing illegal things, and now we have to pay the price of their wrong doing.
My stuff will be secured within normal means, but I'm not leaving supplies out for them. And I sure as h$ll won't be hospital to them trespassing illegally. I've learned that if you let them know you won't be hospital towards them that they find an alternative route. Probably to the guys that are leaving supplies for them!

As a young man in another life I was a BP Agent in Bracketville. This was around the year 2000 so things have changed somewhat. but other things remain the same.
The routes these groups take are usually decades old and there is always a smuggler to guide the group. If your property lies near a railroad track, has power lines near it, or borders a recognizable roadway you most probably have seen alien traffic on the property and seen some 'lay up' spots where groups will wait/rest and the enormous amount of trash they leave behind.
Do not leave access to vehicles of any kind. I've seen them steal ranch vehicles of all kinds and even tractors and then plow through fences and locked gates.
They usually want as little exposure as possible so raiding a camp house is usually a desperate act but not uncommon at all. That usually happens the further away from the border as their supplies dry up. You could leave food/water for them if you wish. Signs sometimes work but half of them can't read but you may get lucky. You could get a 'Border Patrol' logo and put it on your doors. I bet that would help deter some. But lock everything up like Fort Knox!!
If you are having problems with break in's or witness increased traffic, contact the BP sector HQ liaison and request increased patrol and possibly a sensor or two installed. If you have cell service get a cellular game camera and have the local BP station to contact on your phone to call when you witness alien traffic.

We had a place for 25 years about 8 miles North of Laredo. Locking up stuff will do no good... we put a cross above every door and a statue of the Virgin Mary next to each one and they for the most part were respectful and only took what they needed. Before we did that almost every week they would trash the camp.

I know it's wrong to break in and steal food, but I've never been hungry or thirsty enough to even think about it. But every year, we read about children of Jesus (and we're all God's kids) dying of thirst. If I had loved ones with me dying of thirst, you can bet I'd break in. And the more secure the house, the more damage I'd have to do to save us.
And on a practical level, which is more expensive, leaving out a few cans of beans (with a pop top) and some drinking water, or fixing a broken door?
Most of what I'm reading here indicates the majority of any damage has been breaking in, which would be pretty much unnecessary if there was some food and water left outside.

I don't like a thief any more than the next person, and I'm certainly not for open borders. But we are talking about lives here. We have no idea the conditions some leave their home for, but I know it would take extreme circumstances for me to leave my home and family.
I think maiming or killing someone is not a little, but way overboard. I guess human life and the possible taking of that life means more to me than it does to some. We're talking about food and water in these instances, not someone trying to harm us or our family.
What?
P.S.- kind of like Pelosi needing to invite all the illegals over to her compound/house to live, eat and have ice cream for dessert!
I guess you hit the nail on the head! All of our pseudo-Christians have fallen silent now! I tried to end this when it went off-course!

Yeah, 'cause then they won't just steal food and stuff. They'll sue you and get the entire ranch- legally.
You'll be in jail anyway, so you wouldn't miss the ranch for a few years.
