Sounds like they don’t like Federal agents on their lands any more than my family does.
Sovereign Nation means Sovereign Nation.
No one likes the Border Patrol, me included, but this is ridiculous.
The Border Patrol violates the 4th amendment on it’s face. Those internal checkpoints are absolutely illegal and immoral.
Yep....Drugs & Thugs
Border officials are also reported to have confiscated cultural and religious items,
Just build the wall on the American side of the Res.
They do. They are mostly smugglers themselves and have stopping places for the drug and human smugglers on reservation territory.
Border Patrol can and does patrol on the reservation. No signs and closed gates can stop them. . .and they are not stopped.
Regarding the reservation being split. . .these drunk and druggie indians are not prohibited from traveling freely on both sides of the fence, AND they can cross the fence easily as they have gates on the fence that they can open and close as they wander unimpeded back and forth between meh-he-co and the US.
They are actively supporting the drug cartels and human smugglers.
Not exactly law abiding citizens.
Not. Even. Close.
True but I have to wonder how it would go if they told the Sinaloa Cartel they didn't want to do business with them.
From my Post 11: “Regarding the reservation being split. . .these drunk and druggie indians are not prohibited from traveling freely on both sides of the fence, AND they can cross the fence easily as they have gates on the fence that they can open and close as they wander unimpeded back and forth between meh-he-co and the US.”
I say we take off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
OK, that was a different kind of aliens they were dealing with, but the concept could still work.
“Moreover, according to Tohono O’odham officials, 1,500 Mexicans illegally pass through the area every day. “

It's complicated.
At some point the merchandise and people has to cross their fences too, and can be caught there. I do not understand the fuss, unless they have a Tardis in the middle of the reservation.
“Just build the wall on the American side of the Res.”
Exactly, my thought also.
Their vices exclude them from equal protection of the law?
