10:29 am
leaving to the north to hillah been the checkpoint leaving to go to cuss a grandee there's another checkpoint and then that's north and east to to saw the checkpoint. so. within that small space we have were completely surrounded. me my daughter was working in tucson so we were driving. back to tucson
10:30 am
and we got pulled over by a border patrol and he immediately asked me. to state my citizenship was a u.s. citizen a mexican citizen and i said i'm going on. among all of them you know my land. where you're from. so he merely unclipped this this pistol on this 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 and. but he continued to say that he would deport me he would throw me on the pavement handcuffed me in the park. and i said come on my land what are you going to deport me to. i
10:31 am
meant to. do. at that point. and. it. stopped. this is the. leave.
10:32 am
you know. it's really where. we make it. look good. so you like this forever. so if you did it in the. low. ninety ninety million the whole of the over two thousand two hundred sixty million people you know. well why you don't try to cross the desert is in the hospital bowl you can't carry enough water we see more people in the summer to and that we rescue. is.
10:33 am
crazy. so here's the drop. ok. let's look at since last. kind of border patrol it could have been hunters. we don't always know. 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. i just talked to
10:34 am
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 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 just make it
10:35 am
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.
10:36 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. believe in the narrative the organization is putting or you're going to be helping people you know survive going through the desert. when you 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 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. he gets steeper than this to get to it and that's the
10:37 am
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 leisurely of water their day to read their food. so. that's another nice thing you know where i will hike in and enjoying the beautiful day i will run into one of their water drops and sit down when they have individually wrapped meals. you know. the role of wars in the yogurt or stuff like that can of beans and will sit on the lawns. britishers really good are great when somebody calls and nobody knows what they believe their range is their answer in a don't believe the federal government is taking. responsibility
10:38 am
for their security what you would for you or else is to treat it with a long ways away a lot of times for everybody else so response time for 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 razors that you're good have to protect yourself do not the sheriff can't get there of our and if you are in trouble it is going to take me an hour to get there have already get it or you're going to be able to take care of yourself. here is on is a typical as far as most of the states are concerned we have would be called open
10:39 am
carry law or you can carry a firearm full time anywhere in the state of arizona if there are you doing. there are you get a pet fish. you. know it's not much for you to be here aka. 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 of its 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 a gun fight occasionally and it's just fine it's fine. already lived through it all right now lots of.
10:40 am
good. that was weird as. we both read it but. rather. storyboarded but a bit. more oh. all right. you know. you have to understand that the white man was a little better in their territorial issues to be nothing but their purchase especially here and of course mexicans in southern arizona was part of mexico. boys and indians the mexicans the oldest room back and forth across the border pretty much all the time i mean there were organized military on my skin so i had
10:41 am
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 it and vice versa. economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we earn one hundred six point. 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 a says. with all due respect i have to say
10:42 am
i don't think that's right. just 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 divided society that phone the whatever the government tried to do both at nestle maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how come you listen work this is our capitalism goes hopelessly designer strictly wrong. what do you what's your current take on the administration right now just to follow they're having a tough situation with what they inherited from obama but i think the big problem for trump is that as soon as he won he pretended everything was great i liked him better as a candidate when everything was rigged when the data was phony vista to sticks are
10:43 am
real the unemployment rate is much higher don't believe in g.d.p. the stock market's a big fat ugly bubble that's a trump i voted for the trump i got everything is great it's a bull market the economy is great it's all because of me.
10:44 am
the danger element is that. they're not the people running the drugs at all carville and. they're not going to give up if 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
10:45 am
enough to either turn our 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 a problem. in order to control the border you have to have a military state and border patrol doesn't. really were.
10:46 am
i scan for radio traffic. trying to find. where they're talking. to and listen. i took an oath when i first joined the military. and that oath doesn't expire. 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
10:47 am
a certain point and. i figured you know what i've got some decent knowledge of guys decent 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 be doing that just to pay to get across if 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
10:48 am
opportunity i have the only way that i can make money might be to work as a guide through the leading people to 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 and stopped in and asked for food. but i wasn't really aware of all the deaths of her going on around because it wasn't really publicized very much. and then i met valerie was that an artist had moved into the area 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
10:49 am
books rosaries 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 and so we came up with a list mothers project. we were going to do three we were going to do a lot of just that we're going to really be going to do one figure for every ten people that have. realized how many had died so we decided to do one hundred.
10:50 am
turns out to was way more than that so we did one figure for every thousand. three at that point it was over three thousand people at that point in two thousand and three so we decided that if we we used. 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 .
10:51 am
three hundred a year. zero . zero. zero or zero. people. but not here is primo for the day or. else because we're all at.
10:52 am
the job today. enjoy your nap. let's see two thousand and two so he was the first one these two brian terry was in two thousand and ten and it was i b. was in two thousand and twelve so there's more of this being killed and these guys were killed by gun fire those other ones have been run over.
10:53 am
all different other types of speed and still with boulders from the fence or about a mile. but these are the ones who are killed by gunfire there's dozens upon dozens of been killed down here in the past. ten years. but both doesn't. because they don't tell. and so. we have for them to be one left over for it's going to have a good. i'm
10:54 am
doing it for everybody. until i feel it safe. for the rest of my life.
10:55 am
10:56 am
it was you know provision on my back when i wanted to. ask but i. get. your so your height oh i lost his boss because i just got tenure there but let me just give you the resources you know i can just about anybody among my fellow those in person but the best honest i don't know if it has been any of them. so i
10:57 am
says you know what i was you're not. you know just i mean what almost what i'm already whatever sped up out of me just go to the media and eat i mean most of the lot because they don't want to see. this thing up as well i must admit that really feels i just don't get off on getting noticed but those were the over there just people saw that those people are going to respond on one of these but i would say like obviously just this where this part of this almost came up on my bed in with last week you could have got a bomb i just bought that already yes a whiskey and he thought a thing of it but i think with you you seem to mean to carry out my thought aloud problem you just got to go you. most people think just stand. now in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest trade in truth to stand out on the news business you just need to ask the right questions and
10:58 am
demand the right answer. questions. but it is our duty that our law be here that. much as a. political. elite. paid. on the. by then got a session on the nod that they know. by then is assess the long. haul a startling audience that in most is going on want. some. solace. and also it was revealed that the pope multiple injuries among current
10:59 am
