Jose Garcia Hernandez, a 39-year-old construction worker from Chiapas, Mexico, straggled behind the group of seven other migrant men Wednesday afternoon after U.S. Border Patrol agents expelled them into the desolate border town of Sasabe, Mexico, just feet from the one-gas-station town of Sasabe, Arizona.
Wearing a blue surgical mask, camouflage baseball cap, and a backpack, Hernandez said he was apprehended while walking along Highway 86 near the tribal reservation lands of the Tohono O’odham Nation, about 40 miles away. He had been trying to get to Phoenix, which is about 170 miles north of where Border Report witnessed him being expelled into this Mexican desert town. Population: 2,000.
Sasabe, Mexico, has a couple of convenience stores, but there are no taxis or buses, and most migrants who are dropped here have no money or means to get anywhere else... volunteers say that anywhere from 100 to 125 migrants per day are being expelled in Sasabe...
This area has become a hotspot for expulsions in just the past month...
Part of the reason many migrants are crossing into the United States through these tribal lands is that it’s where the border wall is not being built. Several lawsuits have challenged the building of the 30-foot border wall on the tribal lands, so the familiar rusted metal bollards that span for miles on the border of southern Arizona have miles of gaps where the tribal lands are located.
And that is where cartel and coyote traffickers are slipping people illegally across, locals tell Border Report...
Sasabe is totally controlled by the cartel,” Kocourek (a volunteer with Tucson Samaritans, a nonprofit group) said.

coyotes? There used to be a bounty paid for their ears-just saying.
The tribe has territory and people on both sides of the border. They did not want to cut themselves in two. Not sure what they will decide if the coyotes keep sending people through.

So build the wall north of them with free passage for native Americans.
Why does part of their population live in Mexico?
Are they US citizens. I would say yes. The rest of us have to show a passport card or ID to travel to Mexico.
Issue photo id cards to all of the tribe members, allow them to live south of the wall if they wish, but show ID to travel north.
Well if the “desert town” has a population of around 2,000 with convenience stores then I’m not picturing tumbleweeds and sandstorms..
Give them awards! They are herows!!
Yup! The Indians were too dark skinned! I think it still exists, though.
“Caught on camera:”
As if the Border Patrol was doing something illegal.
hire them as border protectors allow them to prosper as a sovereign nation.
