Morgan Spurlock, on his show "30 Days," had a man live with a family of illegal immigrants. The family name was changed to protect them, but their faces were not blurred out or anything--was Morgan Spurlock and everyone else associated with that show arrested since they were knowingly associating with illegal immigrants and not reporting them?
He's a journalist. When journalists research something they are supposed to protect their sources, otherwise our view of reality would be more narrow because people wouldn't share that much knowledge with journalists.

This is very true. Although a properly enforced border does also make good practical sense.
I don't think that it is realitstic to expect to be able to secure the border fully.

Most of the talk about border security is just an excuse to appear like one does something about the problem without harming anyone and having to make unpopular politic decisions.

One thing that is far too easily forgotten is that governments don't confer rights, they only take them away.
While governments don't confer natural rights (or if you believe in God godgiven rights) they do confer legal rights.
