Illegal entry and drug smuggling in perspective…what if all this was going on in your front yard?

by Hugh Holub on Apr. 17, 2011,

Department of Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano keeps telling America the border is more secure than ever. Janet Napolitano: Border security better than ever

But if you live on or near the border where the Border Patrol has NOT secured the border…as rancher Jim Chilton testified to Congress recently….it is a whole other world down here.

Most of you do not live near the border so you probably have no idea what is going on down here.

Let me try and put in a perspective you can relate to.

Every night hundreds of people walk through your front yard.

They leave water bottles, clothing, and other trash in your yard so every morning you have to clean up your yard.

If you leave your car or truck parked outside one morning it will be gone…stolen. A few weeks later your stolen vehicle will be recovered as part of a drug bust.

If you aren’t home, your home will be broken into.

And occasionally you will spot a guy carrying an AK 47 leading a group of illegal aliens with large back packs or a string of horses loaded with duffle bags filled with marijuana through your yard.

Every once in a while an undocumented immigrant will pound on your front door asking for water and first aid. You start leaving water bottles on your front porch.

Even though you leave water bottles on your front porch, you often find your garden hose running in the morning because someone needed a drink but didn’t have the courtesy to turn off the faucet. You find out you can buy a locking mechanism to put on all your outdoor water faucets.

Occasionally one of the immigrants pounding on your door has been the victim of border bandits, with even their shoes having been stolen. By now you have memorized the Border Patrol’s phone number.

If you have a big front yard, you might even find a dead person in your yard…either an undocumented immigrant who died of heat exhaustion, or a victim of a drug cartel shooting.

While you may have a lot of sympathy for the plight of undocumented workers, you find your property is being overwhelmed by nightly traffic and trash. You quit putting out water bottles and put a rifle by your front door just in case the next person pounding on your door at 4 AM is a drug cartel goon.

You notice that when you call the Border Patrol to report an encounter will drug smugglers or illegal aliens on your property, as you are more frequently doing, they take a long time to respond, if ever.
You start asking yourself…why the hell can’t the Border Patrol strop illegal entry and drug smuggling at the border.

You seriously think about selling out and moving somewhere else in the United States where all this is not going on nightly…but you realize someone would have to be insane to buy your home.

You keep asking yourself…why does the federal government and the coyotes who guide illegal aliens and the drug smugglers assume they can run all over your property with impunity every night?

And you get very angry. This is not the way to live in the United States of American in 2011.

Note: Every one of these scenarios has happened to us or our friends who live near or on the border.
