out of the reservation to the south of this arizona. there's a checkpoint leaving to the north to hillah been there's another checkpoint leaving to go to grandy there's another checkpoint and then that's north and east to to soft there's another checkpoint. so. within that small space we have we're completely surrounded.
12:31 am
my daughter was working in tucson so we were driving. back to tucson and we got pulled over by a border patrol and he immediately asked me. to state my citizenship. a u.s. citizen a mexican citizen and i said. among all my land. where you from. so he. could kiss his on his side and he put it in my head he said you will say. i'm mexican citizen. and he did that in front of my daughter and my grandson was little and both of them started crying. but he continued to say that he would deport me.
12:32 am
on the pavement. and the point. i said. are you going to deport me to. going to department to mexico that's my men to my community on that side too. and at that point another border patrol came and saw what was happening and it you know it stopped and. this is the. bleeding heart newspaper. very very. good. for the.
12:33 am
12:34 am
12:35 am
we do have footage of border patrol kicking over. water gallons of a. i guess there's no way to prove it either way but they did that i just talked to said that he knew there was a drop here so kind of leads me to believe that they know it's here and my becoming it because again that fits in with their strategy of just making it really difficult for people to cross the strategy of prevention through deterrence where. basically they want to make crossing as difficult and hard as possible. to deter people from doing it but really this is just resulted in suffering and death on the border and just putting people in a really really vulnerable situation. when
12:36 am
they catch people they now will put them through operation streamline and give them criminal charges and jail time as a consequence for crossing so they've created this other system to make it even worse to cross and make what this also does is it makes getting caught more of an issue before you might just get deported back but now if you're crossing and you get lost to turn yourself in might mean spending six months in a jail or six months in a prison and so the consequences are just higher and it's harder to do because there's more in force and it's just really set up to make people suffer.
12:37 am
when they see. these humanitarians out on the trails try to educate them. because these are people that are coming from different parts of the country. believing the narrative of the organization is putting or you're going to be helping people you know survive going through the desert. when you run in and talk to some of these people sometimes your head just one sticks load from the mentality of the thought process. there's a water drop up here probably another half mile which is
12:38 am
a mazing because that's a long way for them to carry that much water it's probably in from the truck probably. almost a mile away and. they get steeper than this to get to it and that's the farthest i've ever seen him carry water and you wouldn't mind going up there but. i'm sure there's water sitting there they usually have water there gay to read their food. so. that's another nice thing you know where i will hike in and enjoying the beautiful day will run into one of their water drops and sit down when they have individually wrapped meals and you know. the role of water is in there and the older stuff like that can of beans and we'll sit down have a launch. britishers
12:39 am
really good are great when somebody calls and nobody is like they believe that their range is their answer in they don't believe that their federal government is taking. responsibility for their security which you would for anywhere else and. it was a long ways away a lot of times for everybody else so response time for the sure. for the border patrol or even the military is a problem. our experience for one of those killed two zero zero zero. he told racers you're good enough to protect yourself to know the sheriff can get there of our and if you are in trouble it is going to take me an hour to get there heifer to get it or you're going to be able to take care of yourself.
12:40 am
here is on is a typical as far as most of the states are concerned we have would be called open carry law where you can carry a firearm full time anywhere in the state of arizona if there are you doing. there are you get a test yes you do. you. know it's not much for you maybe there are no. most people won't do it in highly populated areas like phoenix or tucson but here in the rural areas like in tombstone basically the only people who carry guns live here are kids in high school. gun there was a lot of different gun manufacturers but this became one of the most popular firearms it's time the cold single action army and this is what i carry and. the only thing i shoot with it now is blanks. when i get into
12:41 am
a gun fight occasionally and it's just fun it's fun. already lived through it all right now lots of lives. that was weird as. we both read it but. redbird. storyboarded bob it. will be more. paul ryan the. problem or you have to understand that the white man was a little better in their territorial issues to be nothing but perches especially down here and of course mexicans in southern arizona were once part of mexico. boyz
12:42 am
indians the mexicans they all just ran back and forth across the border pretty much all the time i mean there were organized military on my skin side but for the most part the borders really didn't exist which which also was a large part of the problem with the cowboys gang is that they would go across the border steal cattle and sell and vice versa. most people think to stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. truth to stand the news business is just the right questions to the right answer. the. question. that be that.
12:43 am
he gets. paid. and. by then coffee session not that. by then is a shift that one. cannot spend. more. so let's look. so it. down to zero and also it was a bit of development of multiple injuries among current enough to soak them to give sophie hollow muscles the look but shows reality of mars on the phone to drop the ball on the field of compatible for most of the say yes but i don't know if there's a book on him or us and what a month. on i'm
12:44 am
12:46 am
cartel and. they're not going to give up and that's where the danger for ranchers is is you know we have to be smart we're not. the majority the ranchers are going out catching drug runners. we don't want to get killed. so we're smart enough to either turn or i don't turn my head i call border roll. we've advocated. for the last ten years that border patrol should. hire. veterans because they're trained and. it wouldn't be that hard to convert a soldier to a border but. they won't do it. and you know border patrol is their federal agents but they're civilians that's right there and that's the problem.
12:47 am
12:48 am
so when my military service ended you know i did a lot of other public service jobs things like that. but this this is a huge huge problem and. being. our government having things the way they are these guys can't effectively do their job beyond a certain point. i figured you know what i've got some decent knowledge i've got to do some training when i come out here and give them a hand. the right way and. i think the issue of categorizing people into good and bad people can be really problematic because you know somebody who is carrying drugs across the border might
12:49 am
be doing that just to pay to get across that they don't have any money that's an easy way that somebody can pay for their trip they can carry drugs across. i think also depending on where you were born if i were born in sonora. might be the only job opportunity i have the only way that i can make money might be to work as a guide through the leading people through the desert or carrying drugs through the desert that might be the only opportunity so i don't think it's that people wake up one day and decide they want to do this bad thing. we had already seen people crossing we didn't have as much surveillance back that people came across more freely stopped in for food. but i wasn't really aware of all the deaths were going on because it wasn't really publicized very much. and then i met valerie was an artist and moved into the area
12:50 am
and she had some big dogs and she would go out walking with her dogs and while she was out there she started finding all these. artifacts we call them these backpacks filled with personal items everything you know prayer books rosary clothing lot of family pictures and letters very personal stuff so we started picking them up and it was actually her idea to do a large memorial to what was happening to the people that. were just falling by the wayside and nobody was really paying attention to them. we decided to focus on the mothers that are left behind to really emphasize the sadness of families being torn apart. so we
12:51 am
came up with this project. we were going to do three. a lot of just that we were going to. going to do one figure for every ten people that. realized how many had died so we decided to. hundred. turns out to. so we did one figure for every thousand. three at that point it was over three thousand people. decided that if we we used the clothing to make the paper it would have the d.n.a. of the cross because they're running they're scared they're tired they're thirsty and all this being poured out into their clothing and so we set out this way the others will be made out of the same essence as the people that they're representing .
12:52 am
12:53 am
12:54 am
so he was the first one these two brian terry was in two thousand and ten in the fall is the was in two thousand and twelve so there's more of this being killed and these guys were killed by gunfire those are the ones who have been run over. all different other types of this be still with the fence or. but these are the ones who were killed by gunfire there's dozens upon dozens of have been killed down here in the past. twenty years. but the code isn't there. because they don't tell. so. we have for them to we're left open for. over here.
12:58 am
chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle for food still. produce offspring to tell you that every gossip and tabloid by file for supporters. of the hof advertising tell me you are not pulling out and lies to hide their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one. economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we are earning one hundred six morning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. might do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart just says c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. it is
12:59 am
not just you know a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devalued society from the part of the government tried to do that nicely maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works but lose one goes hopelessly disastrously wrong.
