If A Migrant Knocked On Your Door & Asked For Glass Of Water

What would you do?

I lived in a neighborhood that was pretty much all migrants. German, Poles, Russians, Cubans, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Brazilian, Argentinian...we had no problems. The kids all spoke English as soon as they could and the adults too. Most of the parents were able to find jobs in factories and it was a great time in America. We still had manufacturing. I was happy to have friends from all over the world.

I'd check the front porch from a side window to assess the migrant (number, sex, age, size). Then I'd either ask if she'd come around to the kitchen window for two unopened cans of seltzer water., which I would toss over to her, or give a gallon of distilled water from our emergency kit if she had others with her.

Also, there are public water fountains in the park across the street.

Also, why would a "migrant" randomly knock on a stranger's door when they know that any random asshole could sic ICE on them?

See, I would critically think first, and not be a loser dipshit like the OP.

If they were doing yard work in the neighborhood I would set a glass out at the rear or side door and tell him to get it there. I used to do exactly that when the Mexicans were tending my next door neighbor's yard during the summer season(they lived in Connecticut.

If it was a stranger I would not answer the door. But I damn sure would not call the cops.

All the water they want as they shower. If no stank sleeve, I suck them until their nuts rattle. If the sleeve, roll them over and fuck them until their asshole looks like an uncooked meatloaf.

Assuming young and hot, otherwise they get a bottle of water at the door.

I leave my door unlocked most of the time, so he'd probably just walk in. But in any case, of course I'd bring him out a glass of water and stand with him outside while he sits on my stoop and drinks it. I wouldn't invite a stranger into my home, but I'm not gonna turn down someone who's so desperate that he's knocking on a stranger's door asking for water. Especially in 2018 where people get shot on people's front stairs before they've even rung the doorbell.......

This is the most hysterical and ludicrous part of the abject fear and panic Faux News wants everyone to feel. No one is coming for your sad suburban monstrosity. No one is hiking thousands of miles to rob some skinny Mary in her studio walk up. (No offense, gurl, just painting a picture here.)

Our country needs to respond, and enforceable borders and immigration laws need to be a part of that response. But treating human beings like animals or worse must NOT be.

I live in an area where there are many immigrant and likely undocumented workers. They work in jobs from agriculture to restaurants etc. They do not wonder door to door asking for water. We see them hard at work in the farms and ranches and neighborhoods but they bring their own water. If they're working for me on a hot day I offer water or soda.

If I lived along a migrant route where travelers are moving in greater numbers I would put cups by the water hose outside and let them help themselves.

Other than that I don't open the door to strangers unless there is something compelling about them, like the time a French immigrant came door to door selling Christmas ornaments she made by hand. I bought some, she was charming.

I live in east on Long Island NY, an area where there are many immigrant and likely undocumented workers. They work in jobs from agriculture to restaurants etc. They do not wonder door to door asking for water.They can be seen hard at work in the yards and farms and neighborhoods here, sometimes some gay few down at the gay beach, Two-Mile Hollow. They bring their own water to jobs, not so much to pickups on the beach. After you've snagged one or two, if that's your taste, and indicated it would be ok, they'll come knock on your door and you're glad to see them.

The most revealing thing about this thread is people who do little imagination they don’t understand a hypothetical situation.

“Oh but I don’t open my door if people don’t call first”

Virtually no one does, dickhead. But pretend for a second that you did open the door and someone asked you for water in broken English (also unlikely) what would you do?

It’s not hard.

I am hardly a desperate queen. I worked with the homeless here in South Florida.

The migrants here are afraid of Beauregard's ICE assholes. They are not gonna knock on doors. Their safety is at risk if they have nowhere to go.

I would have to go to the jungle to find homeless migrants that would need water.

But if they did, I would ask them in and give them what ever they needed. Guess I live on another world than you candy asses up thread.

As for me personally, I would gladly give a migrant a glass of water if he/she asked for it and my spider-sense didn't tell me that this was a ruse to rob or kill me. Not trying to be paranoid, just realistic. But my first inclination would be to of course give them water if they are thirsty. I would be on my guard just in case this wasn't on the up and up and I would be cautious but I have found the majority of migrants are good people. It's only the criminal assholes who get all the attention in the media. I say all of the above in spite of the fact that my elderly father was murdered by two black men who sent their girlfriends to his door to ask for a glass of water, then the men forced their way in and tried to rob him and when he resisted they shot him with a shotgun. Thankfully both men were captured two weeks later and sent to prison for 35 years. But even though all that happened I know not all people are bad and I would use my own judgement if someone asked for water or help. Also, I was raised in the Midwest...we're taught to be helpful if we can.
