SOS:
How do you feel about volunteers patrolling the Arizona-Mexico border?

Good Idea Indifferent Bad Idea

Zack Cimini
Journalism, 20
“I think it is good because we need to have more defense down there before it gets out of control.”

Aton Passwater
Biology, 20
“They’re doing something productive. I don't think it should be an open border, but I don't think that they should have guns.”

Ryan Mann
Undecided, 20
“They are ex-bounty hunters out there just looking for fun; and security guards that can't get into the "cop" business.”

Shannon Nalley
Conservation Biology, 21
“I would rather just have people out there than to have people dying because no one is out there.”

Evangeline Davis
Undecided, 39
“The officers are supposed to be doing it, it’s wise the volunteers doing it and they are doing a good job.”

Rene Salines
Business, 20
“Imagine how it would feel that on the other side of that gun, it's your culture.”

Ian Douglas
Undecided, 18
“It's a good idea, but foolish. None of them know how to use the guns they are armed with.”
Aram Sayadi
Pharmacy, 35
“I am in-different. Citizens like me should study what is going on, but we shouldn't be the ones to go and patrol the borders.”
Karen Garcia
Biochemistry, 22
“There are better causes that people should be investing in. If we stop hiring illegals they would stop coming over here.”
