Harboring someone who is actively breaking the law doesn't seem that controversial.
> leaving food and water
Littering and providing assistance to someone breaking the law.
- mcfunk 7y agoI think a human carcass that could have been saved with food or water is much more offensive litter than a water bottle, but YMMV.
- eesmith 7y agoThere's legal, and there's moral. It was illegal to harbor fugitive slaves. It was moral to break that law. If you think the issue is that clear-cut, you end up on the side of slavers.
- umeshunni 7y agoIt cuts both ways - It's illegal to harbor rapists, murderers, drug smugglers and sex traffickers. If you think that's legal, you're on the side of rapists, murderers, drug smugglers and sex traffickers.
- eesmith 7y agoYou omitted the "If you think the issue is that clear-cut". I don't think it's clear-cut.
- scarface74 7y agoWell, up until the 60s, it was also illegal to marry outside your race in some states. So should someone have been arrested if They let an interracial couple live with them? If you think this attitude is old - according to one survey, 20% of all conservative Christians in Alabama still think interracial marriage is a sin.
- ASalazarMX 7y agoRead the sheltering charges. They are probably cherry-picked, but even so, they are ridiculous and never should have merited arrests. These are good people being harassed for not looking the other way while human beings needlessly die in the desert. These immigrants are breaking your laws and it's understandable if they aren't accepted, but waiting for them to die crosses the line into evil. Sometimes the moral alternative is illegal, but that doesn't make it wrong.
