Wetbacks broke into my camp in Terrell County a few weeks ago. From what I understand, it was several younger fellows and they went from camp to camp in the area tearing stuff up. This is the first time I have experienced vandalism like this, usually want food and water. Adios, Gary Would chill out on that kind of talk man, there's all kinds of folks on here from different nationalities; over the last several years I've been on this site, 99.9% of them are good, down to earth folks in my experience. No need to throw slang on here like that.. just my

We always left our camp house unlocked in Terrel county. The wetbacks coming through would usually eat a few cans of beans and spend the night but we never had any tear anything up.

I have a ranch in webb county that is 14 miles from the border and I have a ranch in starr county that is 16 miles from the border. We have never had any major issues. I see illegals a couple times a year and myself or my staff is on these ranches several times a week. Be alert, carry a pistol and you have nothing to worry about. Seems the bigger issues occur further from the border once they get more desperate and not far from their pickup point. All I got to say, make sure your ranch manger or worker isn't a coyote himself... Money talks and it happens unfortunately but they get caught eventually.

it is always a good idea to leave water and canned food outside your camphouse or trailer so they do not feel compelled to break in to get it. I also have heard a crucifix on the door will deter them - not sure if that is true but have heard it works
You can't fix stupid

Worked out of Laredo for a while back in 1990 and had to go out at night to read logs at drilling rig mostly in Webb county. had guards at main gates and most ranches had cattle guards on the ranch roads but a few had gates and it was spooky. Had a spot light on my pickup and checked out the area before getting out to open gates. Heard rumors that a Halliburton employee was jumped at a gate and they stole his pickup and left him in his under wear.The ranchers I talked to that lived in town but had older places on their ranch said they never locked them, could tell they had been there with canned goods and bottled water gone but that had a increase of some of them trashing the place for no reason. They thought it was from younger men and not from Mexico but central Americans.
