I have hunted near Eagle Pass for 15 years and the last three have been unbelievable - The illegals have taken over Eagle Pass and the ranches anywhere near there. Stealing trucks off of ranches, cutting fences, destroying deer camps, cartel carrying drugs through ranch properties, people being found on ranches dead, women being raped on ranches. I can go on and on. It is about time something drastic be done and hopefully this will be it.

Documentation? You are apparently not familiar with how things work. Nothing is documented, including most of the people that are pouring into our Country right now from all over the WORLD! I can write a book on [censored] I've seen and had to personally deal with over the years BEFORE this fiasco.

I’ve seen it first hand on ranches I’ve appraised down there. Been chauffeured around by armed security for my safety on the big ranches in the deep brush country. All along the border. High fence ranches with posts mowed down by vehicles. Cut fences by illegals. Litter all over the place. A coworkers truck was stolen while he was looking at a pasture. It’s rampant and the stories are legit. Some may be exaggerated but not by much. If someone doubts this, their skepticism is more akin to ignorance or delusion.

Yes I have witnessed it first hand - and it is not exaggerated - camp homes being broken into contstantly as an example. I have seen Cartel's walking down senderos towards me while in the stand. We have run them out of our stands many times. We have found omen's underwear hanging in trees where there was a camp - ranch truck stolen and driven through a fence and on and on https://youtu.be/mLy3XvPO7XU?si=KDCB4_ndLKwU5YZE

Those who don't know often doubt those that do. They just can't fathom how bad it is. What is being reported and what are the real issues are way too different things.
When a mass of migrants, hits Eagle Pass all hands are on deck to process leaving large stretches unprotected and that is when the bag carriers, bad guys and other undesirables come into our country. When a rancher owning in excess of 10,000 acres finds an Arabic to English translation guide in the middle of his pasture, it causes me to shudder. When people tell me they are attempting to make an impenetrable jail out of their weekend cabins bought for solitude and refuge, it makes me pause. When a friend gets honored to elected as a District Judge only to find out she has to have 24/7 armed decurirty when in Frio and Lasalle counties, it makes me "question" the system.
What's sad is the time, efffort and money some workers have to pay to get back here and the dangers they face are way bad on the other side of the border. It gets to be nothing to bother with when they get past the Ro Grande. Used to be just the opposite. The cartels have control of the flow while traversing through Mexico. They make money and hurt people as our economic beacon draws "moths to the flame".
Topping this off is how good it was prior to the current national administration's policies. In large part, the current admin's national economic plan needs the mass flow of refugees and it does not matter how much hurt it causes.

And therein is the issue. Folks like you think the border issues are not real - not blaming you but if you do not believe what you see on the news in Eagle Pass with thousands of illegals over running the town and our border then I suggest getting into you car and taking a drive to see for yourself. And my final item is this - I did not mention before but our LO found a young girl (she was 7 or 8 years old) several years ago on the ranch tied to a fence post and she had been raped and left for dead by the Cartels - need I say more???

I hunted Seminole Canyon and saw it firsthand. Although it's hard to believe anyone can get far with as many state troopers I saw.

Wait until you are mowing grass or cooking at camp, turn around and get surprised by a group of men walking right up to you......or when you're in a deer blind before daylight and 2 of them climb the ladder on the stand for shelter, open the door and you [censored] a pistol in his face and hit your head lamp at the same time.....or when you had planned hunting a particular stand but changed your mind on the way there due to the low flying BP Chopper buzzing your hunting area in circles and BP trucks and 4 wheelers are flying across the road a couple hundred yards away in front of you, you just say sorry kids, go back to camp grab a skillet and a cold beer.....or when they come into your camp, break [censored], take whatever they want and then [censored] in your shower or [censored] all up against the back of the bunkhouse in the weeds and you find that [censored] out with a weed eater when it splatters all over you and in your face.......or when they're running from the law in a vehicle, lose it again at the curve on a dirt road and take out a section of fence.......again......with cows on the property. Or when they use your deer blind for shelter from the elements but leave the door open so owls/coons/rain can ruin it (new blind you just built) and build a fire 10' from your blind and leave trash/bottles/piss puddles everywhere during deer season........or when you have to tell your kids no, you can't ride anywhere here unsupervised on a UTV/ATV without an armed adult and a walkie talkie.... I could go on. No exaggerations here, I have experienced all the above and them some.

It would seem that many bases spread out along the border would be the way to go.

It is America, is it not? Not for long if there's not a major change soon on the border. I'm seeing more and more of these [censored] at gas stations and other places, throwing their trash on the ground, no concept of manners at all, and no respect whatsoever to this Country, our Flag, or our heritage. I have a problem with that. They don't belong here, we're giving ourselves cancer right now and our kids & grandkids are gonna pay for it later. The corrupt democrats and RHINO's in our government treat legal immigrants that respect our laws/waiting in line just like law abiding gun owners in America. The folks that show respect/follow the rules get [censored] on and blamed for things they didn't do. We need a MAJOR change & we're running out of time.
