What's the problem? Are they taking anything from you? They haven't bothered my place. I've had more damage done by local meth heads than by immigrants passing through.

Hunted and camped at the Chaparral back in December and had 2 cars full of illegals bust through the high fence right by camp. BP and the staff tracked all day and finally found the groups.
I’m talking with one of the hunters that morning, turned out he was also BP in that area and just happened to get drawn. Said the problem was getting worse by the day no matter what you heard on the news. It’s constant. I guess that hwy the chap sits on is a major corridor for smugglers. They either are going to pick up or swing back the other way with a car load. We were tailgated by an LEO every time our tires hit the pavement.
The worse part about it all is that the folks they catch are just sent back in most most cases unless they’ve committed a more serious crime like rape or murder. Same guys get caught time and time again with no penalty.
That trip was eye opening to say the least.

Same boat and believe me, ever so thankful. 15 years on the same place. Only sighting was a ranch worker who was looking for a new place for whatever reason. Talk about added value? This one aspect is HUGE.

Someone indicated the issue is bigger than what is being presented about the border facilities. From everything I am hearing, YEP.

Dang! Our place is on the Rio Grande and we've never had that happen. Not even when no one was there. I have more issues in central Texas than South Texas. Local kids and meth heads, Good luck!

This last season for me in Encinal was pretty quiet. That being said, over the last 3 months it has gotten really bad. Daily occurrences on the ranch and LOTS of foot traffic.

Im not saying it isnt getting worse, but we went down this past weekend and stopped for lunch on the way home at our favorite Mexican food place. This is the first time we have ever had a waitress that spoke English.

There has to be a consequence for the illegals to change their actions and this president is not going to change anything. Working practically your entire life to pay for a place and then having it overrun by illegals is not my idea of retirement bliss. If D. C. was being overrun by the same illegals, there would be cops, BP, and National Guard everywhere. I have a hard time believing there are not more ranchers adhering to the plan of the 3 S's than there are not carrying out that plan. People will only take so much. Not saying I am an advocate, but desperate people do desparate things.

with all due respect - not saying it never happens but if folks really think south texas LO's are murdering people on their ranches and burying them? It is not "how it is" - I have been a part of South Texas for too long and know too many ranch owners - that is not happening - they would never risk everything they have - folklore


We hunted a ranch back in the mid 80's south of San Angelo and while that's not considered deep south Texas we saw illegals passing through fairly often, The ranch owner was a surgeon out of San Angelo and he told us that if we saw them to shoot them and leave them lay. He said they die on the trip all of the time and nobody would be looking for them anyway and he was totally serious. We would have never done that but did stay armed 24/7 when we were there. That being said I'd say that it's not all folklore.

Texans have the right to defend their property with deadly force at night.

Texans have the right to defend their lives or someone' else's life with deadly force 24/7/365.

I'm certainly not for indiscriminately shooting illegal aliens. Far from it.

But when those violating immigration law leap from that violation into full on felony offenses where deadly force can be used, as this photo depicts : ...

Mess up the cartels money source and you could end up paying undesired consequences.

Then last week we found this - took a tire and threw it through the mobile home window - took a ladder and went into the home and stole things - also are cutting fences on a regular basis

Anyone who thinks things are not scary down there and out of control need to get a grip - it is bad

thats been going on for years, at least 30 that I know of hanged



been down there for years - never have seen anything remotely close to what went on this last season. Sure it has happened in the past but nothing like now


I'm not nearly as well versed on this issue as a lot of others, but I have to wonder if new/replaced sections of the border wall may be moving their entry points around from where they were in the past. There may be a lot of people who haven't seen it in the past who are now because they've been forced to cross in different areas. Conversely, others may be seeing less activity because of better border walls in their areas.

Maybe next year I can throw my little ones in the truck and come meet you. That would be cool.

Gotta watch out for my 10 yr old boy though, he's a good shot. grin
