Cattle rancher who's seen 500,000 migrants cross his border property reveals the sick tricks used by cartels to earn them $3.5 MILLION a day

For as far as the eye can see there is nothing but brown border fence, red dirt, low-lying desert shrubs and the occasional sweatshirt, water bottle or children's toy. The trash is new and fresh footprints can be seen in the dust - people were just here.

This stretch of the Arizona border near a small hamlet called Sasabe is part of the Tucson Sector of Border Patrol's map of operations, and it's one of the busiest areas in the country for crossers not wanting to be caught.

Arizona cattle rancher John Ladd told DailyMail.com the situation at the border is not just bad, 'this is the worst it's ever been.'

The irony here is that Reagan was outmaneuvered by Congress on immigration “reform”. Let’s hope Trump 2.0 can avoid this.

It’s definitely treason and a high crime as defined by the impeachment clause. Unfortunately very few Republicans have the balls to do anything about it.

Excerpt:

They were joined by a group of migrants that appeared to have set up cross right at the huge hole in the wall where it ends just before a Native American reservation.

Aid workers were spotted filling up pre-set tents with snacks and waters.

They also checked on a Starlink wifi box, set up on the edge of the border - and civilization for that matter - to provide recent migrants with internet connection.

One worker was spotted approaching a young boy on the other side of the border where the hole before the reservation was. A coyote was close by monitoring the interaction.

The workers were from the Tucson Samaritans and Doctors Without Borders and were there to provide humanitarian aid.

Both groups denied to comment for this report.

The cartels, meanwhile, have been busy and have been warring with each other over the stretch of land surrounding Sasabe, including its lucrative crossing routes, Ladd said. ‘They adapted. They were full camo,’ he said. ‘We don’t have asylum seekers. We got run ‘n gunners.’

‘They have carpet shoes and wear baklavas, and they’re being guided by a cell phone from the scouts.’

Some of those camo-clad cartel smugglers - also known as ‘coyotes’ - were spotted by DailyMail.com out at a rural stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border wall where it ends just before a Native American reservation.

He explained a conflict has been ongoing there for the past three months that has led to many deaths and buildings being burnt down.

And one man with over 20 years of experience in the Tucson Sector is saying the illicit crossings in the area are booming.

The Tucson Sector is currently the busiest in encounters and gotaways, migrants whose footprints or tracks were found but never apprehended, Art Del Cuerto, Executive Board of the National Border Patrol Council told DailyMail.com.

He said that there have been estimates of more than 2 million gotaways since Biden took office.

And the patrol workforce there is stretched thin as many agents have been assigned processing duty where they check migrants’s asylum claims.

As for the June executive order, it has not done much for the reality for locals on the ground, he said.

‘That’s a political stunt, and it’s slowed down only because, you know, we’re in our summer rainy season, and it’s been hot, and we get floods and thunderstorms, and so it’s down a little bit.’

You may have it right but I think RR knew something had to be done and compromised in good faith.

Who was the Speaker then - Tip O’Neil? He was a snake if there ever was one.

He learned then you cannot dance with the devil!

“It’s definitely treason and a high crime as defined by the impeachment clause. Unfortunately very few Republicans have the balls to do anything about it.”

Will Rogers once said “we have the best Congress money can buy.”

I wonder what the cut is they got a lot of money coming across that border and many different forms some on the hoof and some in pill form. What’s the odds of some money changing hands?

'this is the worst it's ever been.'

And "Heels Up" Comrade Kamala Harris, the Border Czar, owns every bit it. She can never wash that stank off.

I remember seeing bus after bus heading south to deport illegals in West Texas. Late 80’s. This country could go back to that again, but this time our military will have to be used to uproot all the terrorists in our country. Other then President Trump, I don’t see anyone in our govt that would have the fortitude to do that.
