Very true, Gary... and a great point.


This guy was a local activist known to BP and the authorities, so the
enforcement was made in the context of the larger immigration debate, but
you're quite right that this is food for thought for would-be cachers in S.
Cal (at least reasonably close to the border)

"And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold *water* in
the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose
his reward." (Matthew 10:42)


Easy
