"These illegals aren't just coming over here to work anymore; it's not like it used to be."

But Molly Darlington, 37, who for 18 years has lived in the Palominas area some 10 miles north of the border, says the sheriff's response is an overreaction that is motivated, in part, by politics.
"To be honest, it's pretty rare that we see anybody," she said of illegal border crossers.
IMO, these two women are part of the problem. Graham never cared much about illegals until she was attacked. And I guess since Molly says that it's "rare that we see anybody", then that means that it's rare for illegals to venture acoss the border.
Turn Sheriff Dever loose and let him make life extremely uncomfortable for these border crossers.
Both women live just far enough away from main branches of the trails that they would seldom see an illegal. All it takes is the right luck with local topography.
Freepers Spiff, AZHSer, and idratherbepainting are not so lucky. They get the constant parade right through their yards. Not their pastures -- their yards.
