A Valley fishermen fears for his life. His favorite fishing hole has become a hotspot for illegal activity.

He says gone are the days of tranquility along the river. This flowing stream of water has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. A man we'll call Ricardo has fished here along the Rio Grande for years.

We agreed to conceal Ricardo’s identity for his own safety. He says an increased presence of men on the other side of the river has him living in fear.

“You can't go fishing anymore because there are so many problems. You don’t know what you'll encounter,â€

This is happening about everywhere.My wife has an aunt that DES Moines Iowa she is widow lady in her 70s.She loved to go to Summerville lake and sit and watch the wild life and fisherman or just read a book enjoy the day,but talking with her this year she dont go back anymore because of all the hispanics showing up there.They completely take over the picnic tables and park area and she she dont feel safe anymore to be there safe by herself.
