"Sheriff Marco Antonio Estrada of Santa Cruz County, where Lochiel is, said Ranch Rescue teams did not have the training to intercept drug traffickers and might lead such smugglers to believe that trafficking was easier, if they were not up against federal officers or local deputies.

"I have concerns that they're not really welcome, or really not needed," Sheriff Estrada said of the citizens' patrols. "They are not helping law enforcement, definitely not."

Whats the matter Estrada? Something cutting into your yearly drug bonus? You consider that part of your salary? I'm sure we all appreciate the fine job you have done on the border but padding your 401k with pay off money is not what citizens have in mind for your retirement.

The term used by the narcotrafficantes for such allies and accomplices as Sheriff Estrada is *poco dedo*, a *little finger*. Some are there because they're frightened men who have real concerns for the safety of their families, some are simply corrupt cops on the payroll who have sold their badges for drug money, and some are a combination of both.
