Does anyone have a picture of this canal to post? It would really improve this article.

The source for the immigration debate specifically states that the people attempting to cross the canal are illegal immigrants. Making this statement is not a NPOV violation. Changing this statement is a violation of WP:SYNTH. Arzel ( talk) 22:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
"Advocates representing the illegal immigrant community [emphasis added] have promoted the idea of stringing safety ropes across the canal for those attempting to swim across to hang on and prevent drowning...
I think we need a cite for this wording, or better wording. I shortened the phrase to Advocates, but was reverted, with the reasonable quetion, advocates for who? Thoughts? TIA, Pete Tillman ( talk) 04:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Until they reach their final destinations they are still in the process of immigrating. Is it really not clear? Victor Victoria ( talk) 14:13, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
You're arguing semantics, once they cross the border and are in the united states the are illegal immigrants (aliens, etc). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.170.233.92 ( talk) 21:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
From the NASA satphoto, it does appear that the AAC actually passes into Mexico -- see this larger version. [Rummages in paper map file]. The 4-lane hwy is I-8, as I surmised, and my old AAA map of BCN shows the AAC stays in the US, if just barely. The canal may be on the actual boundary (or very close to it) for a short distance just W of this photo. So I guess the swimmers (and/or sinkers) are only "slightly" immigrants at that point. Sounds like a case for the Coast Guard to me! Cheers, Pete Tillman 20:07, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Please watch the 60 minutes source in the links and sources section. In this video the current in the canal is stated to move at 8 feet per second, rounding out to about 5.45 mph if you do the math. The figure of 30 mph is ridiculous, that's faster than the speed limit on many city streets. Trust me, current moving at 5.45 mph is still quite swift. Other reasons for the dangerous nature of the canal given in the segment include it's depth (20 feet or deeper in many places), cold water, and slippery sides that make escape very difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.127.201.29 ( talk) 06:41, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Undoing the edit is ludicrous because the 60 minutes segment CLEARLY states the reasons the canal is dangerous and gives a figure of the current moving 8 feet per second. In 60 seconds at 8 feet per second, one would travel 480 feet. So in one hour, one would travel 28,800 feet, or about 5.45 miles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.127.201.29 ( talk) 06:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
I am confused as to why this edit keeps being reverted. Where is your source for the current in the canal moving at 30 mph? I provided my source for the current moving at 5.45 mph, and other reasons for the canal's danger being deep, cold water, and steep sides. In the 60 minutes segment. I have a source, you guys who are reverting my edit DO NOT! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.219.160 ( talk) 14:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
I am confused, "The All-American Canal feeds, from east to west, the Coachella Canal, East Highline Canal, Central Main Canal, and the Westside Main Canal." I counted and counted again but came only with four. אביהו ( talk) 11:12, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Starting a section here so hopefully we can stop the edit war. Is there sourcing specifically calling those crossing illegal immigrants? ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 20:40, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
