yes it's worth a special. piece. for me an exit out of the reservation to the south this arizona's annoyed the sonora there's a checkpoint leaving to the north to hillah been there so you know the checkpoint leaving to go to grantee there's another checkpoint and then that's north and then east to two saw this in 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 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 going on. among all the myanmar i meant. to where you from. so he merely unclipped this this pistol on this side and he put it in my head he said you will say you are you a mexican citizen. and he did that in front of my daughter and.

and both of them started crying. but he continued to say that he would deport me. 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 communities on that side too. and at that point another border patrol came and saw what was happening and it you know it stopped and we went away. this is the. bleeding heart newspaper very. very

. lou believe what they want to believe. it's the really where. we may. be. little good. so you like this forever. so if you did this in the. low. ninety nine to two thousand all of the over two thousand two hundred sixty nine

people dying in the. well why you don't try to cross the desert is inhospitable you can't carry enough water we see more people in the summer too and that we rescue. is. crazy. so here's the drop. ok. let's look at since last.

it could have been border patrol it could have been hunters. we don't always know. we do have footage of border patrol over. water gallons of we got. a 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 that 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. believing the narrative that the organization is putting or you're going to be helping people you know survive going through the desert. when you run 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 amazing 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 farthest i've ever seen him carry water and we 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 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 lunch. britishers really good are great when somebody calls and nobody is like they believe that their ranch is their answer and they don't believe that their federal government is taking. responsibility for their security what 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 a little too low. 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 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 what they call and 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. yes you do. 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 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. i'll read it through it all right now lots of. good. that was weird as. we both read it but. redbird. storyboarded budget. we. all run. off from iraq or you have to understand that the white man was an invader in their territorial issues to be nothing but those are patches especially down here and of

course mexicans in southern arizona was once part of mexico. cowboys and 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 science but for the most part the borders really didn't exist at lunch 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. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corners perforations washington washington media the. voters elected business to run this country business if. you must

it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. because. what politicians do something to. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when one of the first century. or some part of the press. had to be right to be cross as what the forecast for it all can't be good but i'm interested it was in the waters of our last.

week. thanks

thanks good. danger element is that. they're not the people running the drugs they're 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 rangers are going out catching drug runners. we don't want to get killed. so we're smart 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 officer and border patrol doesn't. really. scan for radio traffic. trying to find. where they're talking. and we can listen.

i took an oath when i first joined the military. 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 and. i figure 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 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 of were going on because it wasn't really. 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 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 less mother's 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. 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 up this way the

others will be made out of the same essence as the people that they're representing . 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 him toes but not here just pick him up for the day so you can record or go. that's because we are left in. the job today.

joy or. 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 closet 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 this still with boulders from the fence are about a mile. but these are the ones who are killed by gunfire there's dozens upon dozens of have been killed down here in the past. twenty years. but both business. because they don't tell. so. we have for them to we're left open for. going to hell but if.

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

economic development is all about nobody really pleased or if this quarter we are one hundred six morning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is says he had. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that 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.

whatever the government try to do. it might be making things worse. the. wrong. it was you know provision on my back when i wanted it. but i. lost his boss because. we saw. the pressure on us. so i know you're not. you know just i mean most people have spent

a lot of. i mean. if it up as well i might say i mean i just don't get it getting noticed but those were the old. my family fussy credible my just but that already said whiskey and he thought if you think of it i think with you.

right. chemical discoveries over the last century made easy but. this is serious. no wonder it's. industrial the benefit. to. the toxic environment continues to poison lives. these astronomically high levels of dioxin. in the united states almost thirty

years this problem actually. will lead investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. in this week's top stories president. by the un security council. venezuelan president. of his constitutional reform referendum which is infuriated. at a group.
