Caught on camera: Arizona border agents expel 14 migrants into desolate desert town in Mexico
Border Report ^ | Oct 23, 2020 | Sandra Sanchez

Jose Garcia Hernandez, a 39-year-old construction worker from Chiapas, Mexico, straggled behind the group of seven other migrant men Wednesday afternoon after U.S. Border Patrol agents expelled them into the desolate border town of Sasabe, Mexico, just feet from the one-gas-station town of Sasabe, Arizona.

Wearing a blue surgical mask, camouflage baseball cap, and a backpack, Hernandez said he was apprehended while walking along Highway 86 near the tribal reservation lands of the Tohono O’odham Nation, about 40 miles away. He had been trying to get to Phoenix, which is about 170 miles north of where Border Report witnessed him being expelled into this Mexican desert town. Population: 2,000.

Sasabe, Mexico, has a couple of convenience stores, but there are no taxis or buses, and most migrants who are dropped here have no money or means to get anywhere else... volunteers say that anywhere from 100 to 125 migrants per day are being expelled in Sasabe...

This area has become a hotspot for expulsions in just the past month...

Part of the reason many migrants are crossing into the United States through these tribal lands is that it’s where the border wall is not being built. Several lawsuits have challenged the building of the 30-foot border wall on the tribal lands, so the familiar rusted metal bollards that span for miles on the border of southern Arizona have miles of gaps where the tribal lands are located.

And that is where cartel and coyote traffickers are slipping people illegally across, locals tell Border Report...

Sasabe is totally controlled by the cartel,” Kocourek (a volunteer with Tucson Samaritans, a nonprofit group) said.

Not sure what they will decide if the coyotes keep sending people through.

The Indian Tribe might very well decide to set up a network to transport the illegal's further into the United States.

Sasabe, Sonora, New Mexico.

Now we know where Tonto got his nickname for his sidekick. “Kemo Sasabe”

Migrants = illegal aliens

Threaten the tribal leaders that every member of the tribe will be considered as aiding & abetting human trafficking.

Sometimes, there are ideas on FR that are just too inane to be considered. This is one of them.

Instead of being so negative, alternatively we could just move the border south. Maybe we should ask the Tohono O’odham Nation or Sonora if they would like to be 100% part of the US? There's so many people in Mexico who want to be in the USA, maybe given a referendum they might vote for los Estados Unidos with ballots instead of feet. Move the border far enough south and it becomes way more defensible too.

HHOS.

Not having a Starbucks is a human rights violation.

The wall moves people further afield, but also makes it easier for BP to patrol those shrinking areas where its still possible to get across.

Its working.

“The wall moves people further afield, but also makes it easier for BP to patrol those shrinking areas where its still possible to get across. Its working.”

The Tohono O’odham Nation declined new Border Wall System, but accepted new surveillance systems. The whole length of their 62 mile border will soon be completely covered by the Integrated Fixed Towers system, and other technology is likely on its way as well. The majority of their border already has some kind of barrier, and some areas are just more suitable than others.

So the openings are narrowing, and more technology and freed up Border Patrol Agents are focusing on them.

It is working, overall.

But the lack of more effective barrier is going to make it more painful for the Reservation, because although the total traffic will be constrained, they will bear the brunt of more of it.

Coyotes? How are coyotes even able to shop for backpacks?

Maybe at the "Super Coyote Grocery" in Sasabe, Mexico. Open 10 AM to 5 PM, closed Sundays. No reviews on Google. Little over a half mile from the border.

The way I see it the further they have to walk to get to the nearest town in Mexico the better it is for the U.S.

These illegals will realize that return walk will be a deterrent to them should they make the attempt to come here again. I see only good thing from an Americans point of view.

Only problem I see with that idea is building the wall through the Rio Grande river. 8>)

Back into their own country where they belong? In to a small town in which I’m sure there is food and shelter? Where’s the beef?
