exits out of the reservation to the south of this arizona sonora there's a checkpoint leading to the north to hillah been the checkpoint leaving to go to custom grandy there's another checkpoint and then that's north and then east to two saw the checkpoint. so. within that small space we have were completely surrounded.
9:30 pm
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 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. but he continued to say that he would deport me he would throw me on the pavement.
9:32 pm
leave. you know. it's really where. we may. be a little good. to. see it like this forever. so if you did it. oh. ninety nine to do the will of the over two thousand two hundred sixty million people you know this. well you know try to cross that. is in the hospital bowl you can't carry enough water we see more people those over
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
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
9:35 pm
criminal charges and jail time as a consequence for crossing so they've created this other system to just 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.
9:36 pm
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 wants to spread the 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
9:37 pm
probably. 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 and you wouldn't mind going up there but. i'm sure there's water sitting there they usually have 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 will run into one of their water drops and sit down when they have individually wrapped meals. you know. the role of bars in that and the older stuff like that can of beans and will sit on level aunt. grace is really very great when somebody calls it no matter what they believe that
9:38 pm
their ranch is their answer in they don't believe that their federal government is taking. responsibility for their security like you would for anywhere else and. 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 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 their half hour to get it or you're going to be able to take care of yourself.
9:39 pm
here is on is a typical as far as most of the states are concerned we have would be called open 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 test to get you did. you. always have that for you and they made it clear 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. don there was a lot of different gun manufacturers but this became one of the most popular firearms in 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 it's fun it's fun.
9:40 pm
already lived through it all right now lots of lives. that get. it. down. that was weird. we both read it but. storyboarded budget. all right. for us you have to understand that the white man was a territorial issues to be nothing but a purchase especially down here and of course mexicans in southern arizona was once part of mexico. boys indians the mexicans the oldest room back and forth across the
9:41 pm
9:42 pm
and. by then got a session. by then you're. not . going to want. so it's. no surprise was abeokuta all multiple injuries among current america so don't look yourself you will see the look of the show's real year mars on the moon today told my book on the theme of the eclipse of the social services so you're welcome the book in the us and what a month. hanumant it nothing of. a flood me. somethin. like that i've done long enough something not set in. the market alone to look ma let's look
9:43 pm
9:45 pm
the danger element is that. they're not the people who run the live drugs they're all cartels 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 and catching drug runners. when we don't want to get killed. so we're smart enough to either turn our i don't turn my head i go. we've advocated. for the last ten years that border patrol should. hire. veterans because they're trained and.
9:46 pm
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 right there that's a problem. in order to control the border you have to have a military state and border patrol doesn't. really. scan for radio traffic. trying to find. where they're
9:47 pm
talking. so we can 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 of guys to do some training when i come out here and give them a hand. the right way and. i
9:48 pm
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 you 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
9:49 pm
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 and 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 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
9:50 pm
wayside and nobody was really paying attention to them. we decided to focus on the mothers that are left behind to really emphasize. sad. family part. so we came up with this project. we were going to do three. a lot of just that we were going to be 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
9:51 pm
9:52 pm
there's almost no investigation about what was the cause 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 in place there would be a crime scene investigation a huge people looking all the way to see them toes but not here is pretty much for the day to even require. this because we are left in.
9:53 pm
the job today. enjoy your day. 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 one of 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 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
9:54 pm
9:57 pm
economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six points. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about mad that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is
9:58 pm
that just you know a free market would. people from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are the just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly divided society from the whatever the government tried to do. might be making things worse. by saying this is not work this is. hopelessly disastrously wrong it was you know provision out of my pocket and i wanted it. but i. lost his boss because. we saw. the pressure on us. so i said you know you're not.
