Sounds like they don’t like Federal agents on their lands any more than my family does.
Sovereign Nation means Sovereign Nation.
Yep....Drugs & Thugs

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.
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.
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. “

resume the war, send in the cavalry with the tanks
Beautiful country, we have driven through there. I hate it that this crap is going on there.
When you see about ‘poor Indians’ on their reservations one must wonder what is happening to ALL the Casino Money?
They must have taken lessons from the US Govt on how to skim the Lottery Money that is supposedly for the ‘children’ and education BUT the taxes keep going up despite the ‘tax’ the citizens are paying when buying lottery tickets.
I say tax because 1/2 the money going into the fund doesn’t come back to the ‘players’ AND when one wins, the various Governments takes its cut from YOUR winnings.
Want to retire the debt?
Have all taxpayers give an extra 1(?) dollar per month/week or whatever and hold a NATIONAL lottery, with a 60% winnings going to the winners, tax free with your ticket being YOUR Social Security Number.
Got 9 #s to play with- have all kinds of payoffs, no outlets, no machines, and it could get interesting when YOU, Ivan & HoseA & HoseB & Muhammed et al show up with the same SS #.
Oh yes, immediate deportation of the phony holders, lose all assets and never be allowed back.
Arrest on spot, take to holding, deport.
Maybe. Or maybe the BP has been doing something wrong to get locked out. Several of the ranchers here have locked them out at one time or another, usually for leaving gates open allowing livestock to get out. BP does not always do a good job training their agents, some of them play 4-wheeler games with the BP vehicles tearing up land. Some leave gates open or cut fences while in pursuit and don’t notify anyone the fence is cut.
Often when BP has bad manners they get locked out until they learn some manners.
Isn’t this the tribe Fauxchohantas is from?
More than a few border Ranchers do this too. They have to allow the Border Patrol on, but they can refuse vehicles and horses.
If they want to walk 7 or 8 miles across the desert, they can. The ranchers get paid by cartels to keep the Border Patrol out, close any roads they can, and to simply “not look out the window”.
An Arizona rancher recently did it near the Coronado National forest in the NM Bootheel. Near Skeleton canyon.
The corruption does not stop at the border.
The US Calvary usually sorts these problems out in the movies.
All things considered, I suspect the Trump Wall will need to allow access with the reservation. I would imagine that pulling an “Imminent Domain” card won’t fly in this case. It’s disheartening to read some of the comments here using words like druggies and other nonsense. The war on drugs is an imaginary slight invented by those in power. The Native American Church using various medicines during prayer does not equate to the crack whores down the street of the slums where you live robbing passerbys.
