As hungry. hunted men in a strange land they constitute a distinct menace to the property and stock of these ranchers. Either the rancher must provide for them to be rounded up and fed. or they will help themselves. slaughtering his cattle. using what they want. It is not a matter of harboring them. but of the landowners protecting themselves. As any experienced border patrolman will verify. this practical. realistic approach to the problem simplifies their task of rounding up the illegal entrants. It saves thousands of dollars. both to the Government and to the people along the border. And is this a cruel and unnatural attitude?
