This is kind of like the "follow the money" scenario. In this case, if you stop the flow of illegal aliens and certain individuals object, then it is reasonable to assume that those may have been the people who were benefiting. It's possible that some of these "objectors" are just looking for attention (or donations). It's also possible that some of the border towns have a cottage industry of smuggling illegals into the country. Whether it's to the "coyotes", or facilitators of one sort or another it is obvious that these illegal immigrants provide much needed cash flow to the small border towns. Bingo! IMHO, It appears that someone in the Cochise county cabal is being stung financially by the MMP and their successes.
