A Rancher’s Life on the U.S.-Mexico Border 

Thanks for tuning in to watch our newest episode of The Real Stories of the Border Crisis series. Watch the rest of the series here: ru-vid.com/group/PLjMHBev3NsoV4AR0Z1BHKatag8HfEyubb

I'm a native Arizonan, but a naturalized Texan. ;-) It's the same story in south Texas. I hunt on a 10,000 acre ranch just east of Brackettville. It's 40 miles north of the border, but on a major migration route, so it sees a lot of traffic. It's the fence cutting that is so problematic. A lot of ranches in south Texas are high-fenced for game, so those fences not easy to climb over. It's much easier just to cut the fence, and then the livestock is out wandering. The ranch has 21 miles of perimeter fencing, much of it over very rough country. Riding that fence is a pack-a-lunch job even if you don't have to stop to make repairs. People have absolutely no idea what is going on along our southern border, but I've got to tell you, it ain't pretty.

This type of story is never seen in the mainstream media. Whatever your opinion on immigration, this is a story that needs to be heard. It highlights the pain on both sides of the border.

I live in Southern Arizona. The border is a mess. I've never seen it this bad in 30 years.

Disgusting... I'm sad to say I served and my son served in this country 's military to later allow shit like THIS to occur unchecked? What a slap in the face!

Where's our MSM Media that BRAGS about how honest with integrity on this story and so many others? 🇺🇸 or Bust

A Government that has forsaken its people.

This must be shown everywhere! There is no nation in the world that doesn't have a border.

That was an awesome message of reality and I hope millions see this

Video needs to be viral.

President Biden Help these Ranchers. Build the Wall Protect our Country

Really good video. Thank you for posting this.

God bless you guys, I am so sorry for what is going on. Praying for you guys.

Very good documentary.

"Fundamentally Transform America", Obama. Thank a fcking DEMOCRAT!

No thanks to Resident Bye Don!!👎👎

What a man. I would like to shake his hand and hug his neck. Family must be proud

God Bless you Thank you for having the courage to share your story I pray God is with your whole family I’m so sorry but they have to ruin your beautiful oasis

well said !

Wow loved watching this. Thank you Sir for being a true American and protecting our Border🙏🏻🙏🏻

The ranchers on the border need to call Texans to Arms and defend our land!!

Time to lock and load

This is an excellent representation of life on the border. The hardships that the illegals go thru, and also the many issues they will cause out of plain desperation if nothing else to those of us ranching this stretch of land.

What a strong man! A REAL man! Makes me proud to be a Texan and ashamed of our current President.

He's not leaving because he can't. You can't pick up and leave with a ranch.

Why only 27,000 views???

I wish you the best Sir. This needs to end I agree.

No one like illegal imagration but no one seems to do anything

For what you say, encouraging illegal immigration is like selling a dream that very likely could end up in death and the solution is to sponsor legal immigration with 10,000 while eliminating and discouraging illegal immigration completely. it sounds very reasonable.

Tragic for all involved. We need better immigration laws not illegals and our government ignoring the laws!

What a nightmare!

Stay safe

I have been planning on retiring to Sierra Vista in a couple of years. You guys are scaring me a bit.

John knows about which he speaks.

Disgusting. Since this was posted in July 2021 the problem has increased exponentially.

ELECTRIFY THE FENCES ! ! !

If it was me alarms for the houses that go off if anybody disturbs a window or a door they would go off and you can have a staying motion where if anybody breaks into the house it will go off but you can move around in the house that's what we have on our house I feel more protected with it just so I know what's going on

There is no border

( And all land used to belong to Mexico !)

Most people on BLM land never leave.

All in all it is a mess. Hot area and no shade. Slightly lessens angst from 5 years of terrorism performed by sib and 1/2 its next 2 gens. I wonder what aljazeera has to say on this? I shall continue wondering. Pretty herefords you raise.

I have not heard p

The answer - MATTHEW 25:31-46. ❤️🐑❤️ OR 🔥🐐🔥? Jesus says what he says! See what MURPHSLIFE is doing about it. You can help him.

You know you say your family has had this ranch for 125 years and now all the sudden you are blaming Biden ? You mean you had no problems until Biden became president. What happened the other 30 presidents were in office

So this rancher bought this ranch in 1894, 46 years after that us government stole Arizona from mexico 🇲🇽 in February 2 of 1848 whom did they bought it from?? Greetings from Mexico cabrones

Tbh id just set up congregation points on the ranch just to funnel them away from the important stuff. Give them a way to cross the gates, give them water and a ramada for the sun. They're coming anyway so make life a little easier on yourself and your land and livelihood.

If weed was legalised we could put these gangs out of business

They are not illegal sir. When you came at that time you were the immigrant not the natives. Why not put water out for them?'Are they not human to you. It is a dam shame that they can not see their own families.

Legalize marijuana.

your right my friend and i like the way u put it!!

I'm calling bullshit on this one
