it is the law. Come to America Legally NOT Illegally. And because they have denied Asylum from Guatemala and Mexico by law they are not eligible for Asylum in America.

They need to go thru the system legally. We need to take care of our own people that are here! Other countries have restrictions, therefore we need to uphold ours. Background and drug testing is als

We have a legal immigration system. We need to be able to control who immigrates and how many, this is one of the purposes of borders. We are a nation of laws and those laws need to be respected.

Yes, tighter border security is necessary. I'm tired of my tax money going to illegal immigrants for food stamps, WIC, free education, healthcare and free government handouts.

Absolutely, it's necessary. These groups need to know that we mean business. Many have entered freely, while most are criminals and using children and women to get in. Defensive measures.

Uneducated, unemployed and unwilling to enter/apply the legal way, no way of vetting them. Demoncrats are very quiet on this as they see potential voters down the road. Build the wall!

This is our country. This is an invasion and had better be stopped. I support our troops assistance on border patrol issues. Turn them back. Fix your own country. Don't dump your trash here.

Troops cannot engage with people trying to cross over. It is just a BIG show from Trump, trying to engage his base before the elections. It is an absurd waste of resources.

No because it only brings out the hate in people.. besides more people cross by air and water than they do by land. and most by land go through ports.

The US created a lot of the violence, and poverty, in So. America since the days of Reagan. Now we are going to turn our backs on what we created? And we buy the drugs they grow.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
