Arizona rancher says border crisis is 'still outrageous' as illegal migrant crossings surge
...
A fifth-generation Arizona rancher said an influx of illegal migrants crossing his land in recent years has increased his fear that terrorists are successfully sneaking into America.
...
The ongoing crisis at the southern border is breaking records as illegal migrant entries skyrocket, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. The first week of December saw a record-setting 18,900 migrant apprehensions in Arizona's Tucson Sector alone, the section's Chief Border Patrol Agent John Modlin said.
By comparison, that's about 2,000 more encounters than all of December 2021 for that sector, according to CBP data. Daily encounters also reached a new record-high across the southern border earlier this month, with more than 12,000 migrants flooding in on Dec. 4.
"It's a national security issue," Chilton said. "I'm very concerned that terrorists are coming across the border."

CBP encountered 169 people on the FBI terror watch lists between ports of entry at the southern border in fiscal 2023, data show. That total exceeded not only the previous year's record-setting 98 encounters, but the last six fiscal years combined.
"When are they going to strike, and are they walking through my ranch?" Chilton said.
The border rancher previously told Fox News his wife, while home alone, opened the door to MS-13 members carrying guns.

He said cartels fight for control of the trails through his ranch, and he's occasionally seen coyotes smuggling migrants across his land.
"We have cartel scouts on our mountains," he said. They "really have control of everything."
The fifth-generation rancher is frightened that cartels flood certain areas with migrants to divert Border Patrol agents, creating undermanned sections where smugglers can bring in terrorists and drugs.

“as illegal migrant crossings surge”
Almost there. I was saying yesterday, not one single solitary news report ever calls them “illegal aliens”. At least Fox made it halfway. They HAVE to be called “illegal aliens” because when you call them anything softer you are empowering the SCAM being pushed by the domestic enemies occupying our government.
If you were to give them a "military" description, what would you call them.?
Most invasions have shooting involved. Most countries have borders.
We only have borders for our citizens or for Canadian truckers coming into northern New York.
And then we'll need to find some way to remove the massive ARMY of invaders that have already made its way into our country... That ain't going to be easy.....
Well, you have to take into account funny cat vids on tiktok. Priorities ya know. 🤔😳
Cut off ALL welfare. Verify citizenship. That’ll cull the herd.
Cartel (ms13) have been harassing and intimidating ranchers for decades. 3 republican presidents and 2 democrat presidents. Nothing going to happen.
Old news
MS-13 has paid off enough dimrats and/or is their drug supplier to the point they own the dimrats.
95% are helpless and afraid.
Perhaps this event in Indiana will work it’s way south...
Easier to get forgiveness than permission.
yup
Then shoot more often.
true
Is a burglar in your house an undocumented visitor?
Over the summer, around August - true story - driving to meet my brother, I missed a turn so I made an illegal U-turn and a cop pulled me over and told me I made an illegal U-turn and I said to him “I disagree officer, I made an undocumented U-turn” and he stared at me, then cracked up and told me to ‘get the hell outta here’ and he let me go! LOL! Hey it WORKS!! A person can get away with breaking the law by just changing words! LOL LOL!!
