Thread: Migrants keenly aware of dangers in Santa Cruz County canyon

Victoria, a 29-year-old migrant from Puebla, Mexico says she’s well aware of the dangers posed by the criminal gangs that stalk the remote canyons of Santa Cruz County.

Though she’s never been victimized herself – she was recently repatriated for the fourth time after trying to cross into the United States illegally – Victoria said she’s heard horror stories from other deported migrants who were attacked by the so-called “border bandits.â€

Why does the border patrol waste time chasing after these RIP crews instead of focusing more on the illegals themselves??????? If the RIP crew's primary focus is on illegals let them go, they are utilizing their own form of enforcement. If the illegals are robbed by pirates it serves them right, they shouldn't have come here illegally.

And why the heck do they "insist" on illegally crossing into the US instead of going to a part of Mexico that is better off than what their home town is? If they live in a crap hole town that is not worth a dime, why not go somewhere like Acapulco, Mexico City, or Cancun? That is what we Americans do all the time. Our economy has been in the crapper, but instead of raiding someone else's we go somewhere else within our own country.

We'll help them out if we close the border. No illegal border crossing no more need for bandits to rob the illegal crossers. Problem fixed and hey we helped the illegals by denying them a route in!

The woman, who did not want to give her name because she is still considering an illegal border crossing, said there was no way for her to survive in her hometown in the impoverished southern state of Chiapas.

But she has the $$$ to cross the border? So move to another area of mexico, plenty of jobs at American companies in mexico. Guess it's not as good as sneaking into the US, dropping as many anchor babies as you can and collecting the freebies no?

Sounds like a good place to start using as a military training area. Put enough troops out there (training or not) and the illegals will stop crossing. Also those preying on the illegals will not want to be around an area that has so much activity.

The illegal Victoria said she is going back "Out of fear." Keep up the good work banditos, you saved us from six or seven anchors.
