yes it's worth. formin exits out of the reservation to the south of this arizona sonora does sonora there's a checkpoint leaving to the north to hillah been there so you know the checkpoint leaving to go to class a grandee there's another checkpoint and then that's north and east to to saw there's another 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 and we got pulled over by a border patrol and he immediately asked me. to state my citizenship whether i was a u.s. citizen a mexican citizen and i said i'm an all time. mind that. where

you from. so he. could kiss his. hand he put it in my head he said you will say. and he did that in front of my daughter. and both of them started crying. but he continued to say that he would deport me. on the pavement. in the park. and 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. very very. leave. you know. it's really where. we make it but it didn't go. well

good. so you like this forever. so if you have a desolate. low. ninety ninety million little 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 those over to and that we rescue. is. crazy.

so here's the drop. ok. so six months last. it could have been 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 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 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. 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 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 a mazing because that's a long way for them to carry that much water it's probably in from the truck probably and almost a mile away and. he gets steeper than this to get to it and that's the farthest i've ever seen him carry water in the wooden wing going up there but. i'm sure there's water sitting there but he usually of water they're gay to read their food. so. it's ability saying you know where i will hike and

enjoying the beautiful day i will run into one of their water drops and sit down a little they have individually wrapped meals. you know. they're old wars in that the older stuff like that can be the most and. i don't want. british really very it when somebody calls it a no man's land they believe that their ranch is their answer and they don't believe that their federal government is taking. responsibility for their security like you would for anywhere else in the country. it was a long ways away a lot of times for everybody else so response time for the sheriff

for the border patrol or even the military is a problem. our excerpt from one of those kill them to whom. he told rangers that you're going to have to protect yourself tonight 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 or half an hour to get it or you're going to be able to take care of yourself. here is on it is a typical as far as most of the states are concerned we have what they call an open carry law repealed carry a firearm full time anywhere in the state of arizona there are you doing. there are you did you know yes you did. you. know it's not much for you to hear i know. most people won't do it in highly populated areas like

phoenix or tucson but here in rural areas like in tombstone basically the only people who carry a gun when. here are kids in high school. there was a lot of different gun manufacturers but this became one of the most popular firearms it's time to 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 lives. better get. down. that was weird as. we both ready for gun fight.

started by bit. more. fun for us you have to understand that the white man was an invader in their territorial issues to be nothing but the patches especially down here and of course mexicans in southern arizona where it was part of mexico. cowboys and indians the mexicans hailed us for and back and forth across the border pretty much all the time i mean there were organized military on my skin science 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.

seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. me. to shape out these days to come after. and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. economic development is all about nobody really pleased or if this quarter we are modern six point. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think back that our c.e.o. mike 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

i don't think that's right. just how 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 devoid society. the whatever the government tried to do it wasn't necessary maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not work this is. hopelessly disastrously wrong.

the danger element is that. they're not the people running the drugs they're all cartel. 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. in order to control the border you have to have a military officer and border patrol doesn't. really. i'm scanning 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 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 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 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 and 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 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 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 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 was way more than that so we did one figure for every thousand. three at that point it was over three thousand people. so we 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

. there's almost no investigation because and almost. if it was happening anywhere else in the u.s. probably anywhere else in the world and the body was found in your backyard or out

in the woods employers there would be a crime scene investigation a huge as people look at you all relate to see them toes but not here just pick them up for the day so you can with her. just because we are left. with a job today. enjoy

your nap. what's the two thousand and two 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 types of speed 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 the past. ten years. but the ball isn't there. because they don't tell. and so. we have them to the left open for. they give.

i'm doing it for everybody. until i feel it safe. so for the rest of my life.

but i'll bet is that i'll happy about. the tragedy of it all. i just. hate. being the oddball suggest that you get outside of that mike on the and. by then coffee session on the nod that they know. by then is a shift that while. not that i'm. going to want. to ask certainly not so it. can be no surprise was your view of the pope multiple injuries among come from the so don't. keeps a few of the books but shows the all you know most of them into the most vocal people the people sensible to the say yes but in the book and most of.
