Those Indians might change their mind about the wall when they are the only point of egress.

I have heard that some of them are reconsidering.

five-mile stretch of the border will not get new wall because the land belongs to the Cocopah Reservation. This area is where agents are seeing the most illegal immigration right now, an indication of the new wall’s success at preventing illegal entries.
***************
Simple, build the wall on the northern border of the reservation. The indians can come and go as they please, through one entrance, or roadway, just like any other border crossing.

It won’t be long before they’ll sue to move the wall south, especially if any illegal alien convey gathers within their reservation.

What about president Roosevelt getting a strip of 60 feet wide strip along the entire border, to belong to the US government?

That 60 ft. wide strip does not belong to the reservation. (or does it?)

I think the problem is that the Cocopah live on both sides of the border. The wall would split their territory. Still, where there is will there is a way.

The old single layer landing mat barrier (left, which a pick up truck could ram through and drive into the country), vs. the new double layers of 30 foot bollards (with new technology for virtually 100% detection).

"Compared to what I saw on a visit one year ago, the places on the border that Border Patrol agents show me today are unrecognizable."

Egress?

Didn't P. T. Barnum have a sign "This way to the egress"? (This was to get customers moving along instead of loitering--people didn't know what "egress" meant and assumed it was something exotic to see.)

Then they should build a wall on the Mexican side of their reservation. I bet that the president could even be convinced to help with that financially

So the tribe owns the border, and national immigration policy that applies to it? Yeah, ok, sure.

They own whatever they chose to claim they own - wherever that maybe, including the land the rest of us live on.

Their ancestors where created there, so the courts have ruled that they have superior and real Rights enshrined in the Constitution - unlike the ‘rights’ for others which the courts have ruled are mere privileges which can be revoked at any given time. So bow low when a tribal member passes by.

Just what kind of anti-American losers are these indians?


The drug cartel kind
