SPOFFORD, Texas — Illegal migrants crossing the border to evade apprehension frequently cause damage to property just north of the southern border, brazenly breaking into properties on ranches, causing some in the community to live in fear.
Brad Whitaker took the Daily Caller News Foundation to a property he’s managed for 21 years, located a few dozen miles from the nearest border town. During the past several years, Whitaker has felt the effects of the border surge with his property sustaining costly damage that has compromised his safety and the safety of hunters who frequent the ranch.

We cleared multiple sections (640 acres each) of mesquite recently and just piled it up (about ten feet high, 15 deep, two miles long, full of snakes and critters).
As we clear, we just add.
They go around, but don’t go though us.
Eventually, someone’s going to catch it on fire, but it hasn’t happened yet.
They don’t care and sooner or later one of them will put a bic lighter to it. Best wishes on maintaining the property.
That’s a whole lot of work.
Can you clear with controlled burns?
They need to get together and file a class action lawsuit. They pay taxes and have a right to expect the government to protect them from invasion.
This ain’t rocket science - trespassing, property damage earns ya a bullet or two.
Eeezy peezy !
Just our elites crapping on America. These ones evading are the dangerous ones and the drug smugglers. The cartels send the women and children to tie up ICE. And the government does nothing but reward these invaders.
Pretty sure they are using it as a barricade against the trespassers.
As a teenager growing up in a border town, our parents allowed us to have BBQs on their border property. We kept the wetbacks and police away from the property all of the time.
This ain’t rocket science - trespassing, property damage earns ya a bullet or two.

Thanks; that makes more sense.
I’ve been trying for years to get help from CalFire
to burn some timberland.
We had a whole lot of UNcontrolled burns up here last year across the stateline from us. Dixie fire
It’s strategically placed on the far side of a lease road (yet inside the fence) that it won’t matter, really if it burns.
My sister might be pissed, but she’s always bitchy.
No, burns have their own complications.
More typical is gathering together and burning in a pile, but I just decided to let it build up.
You actually end up with spread in a pasture burn, so you have to spray it first with what is effectively a selective Agent Orange, then bulldoze it.
Plus, there are flow lines with either crude or salt water or frac water all over the place (the roll back in forth in the Sun). They’re just polyethylene lines and would catch on fire.
Correct. And there is a county burn ban.
