Just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. Theres been a few kids murdered already.
Calling human beings "invaders" is quite disgusting, to be honest. You have no more right to your land than they do. We're all humans.

The Border Patrol more often saves people from getting raped and murdered.
The cartels and coyotes have absolutely no regard for these people beyond profit.
Our fire department frequently has to pull drowned people out of the river. Imagine the disregard for child safety you have to have as a parent to make your kid cross the river, which in Mexico is called Rio Bravo (wild river). And to do this with the assistance of criminals who would just as soon abandon you if you get in trouble?
Once they cross over, if they’re successful, is not the end of it. They still have to trek for many miles through brush and ranch land to get beyond the check points. Many more die of exposure and dehydration. The Border Patrol often rescues those as well.
The Border Patrol has no interest in murdering anybody. They wouldn’t bother saving so many people if they merely meant to murder them.
The crisis we do face here on the Border is a humanitarian crisis. We don’t have the resources, the Border Patrol doesn’t have the resources either, to provide the necessary food, shelter, and medical care for the number of people coming over. It’s tragic that people die in custody. However, compared to the number of people who are alive today thanks to our border protection, it is hardly a death factory.

Have you ever seen the stacks and boxes of expired food that they dump at super markets? "We dont have the resources" my asshole. You dont want to help and you dont care enough to find out basics on how we can. You work your way down from "cant" rather than working your way up from "should".

Grocery stores here don't dump food. They donate it to the Food Bank, unless it really is not fit for eating. Grocery stores also have drives for donations to help the Food Bank buy food in bulk from distributors.
In my experience, the "should" people typically want somebody else to do the work. The basics are money and time. Either you provide money to the effort, or provide your labor. Otherwise, you're not really doing anything either. Just all talk.
I'm telling you that the work is being done. Many great people are doing their best to deal with the crisis. Yes, bad things happen. Worse things could have happened if there weren't already people doing what you think they "should". They don't just talk. They're doing it. They have been doing it for years. We have had the problem for decades. We are kind of pros at what you think we "should" do .
But the trump administration is specifically doing things to make the situation worse. They're actively making an effort to hurt people at the border and even want to try to destroy the entire mexican economy for some reason.
Just because a few border agents are cool guys doesnt mean the system isnt rotten to the core.
Supermarkets are one example. Another would be luxury condos and golden crusted pizza pies.
