Arizona rancher John Chilton’s 50,000-acre property represents ground zero for illegal border crossings into the United States.
Every day, human traffickers, cartel hitmen, and illegal immigrants sneak through his property. The 79-year old, fifth-generation cattleman warned the government for years about leaving miles of our southern border undefended – save for a barbed wire fence – to no avail.
Now, he’s back. This time with breathtaking footage documenting the seemingly unending infiltration of trespassers from south of the border.
Will Racke, of The Daily Caller, has more:
Chilton shared hours of video footage with Daily Caller News Foundation reporters, who are in Arizona to document life and crime in the southwest borderlands. Tim Foley, the founder of Arizona Border Recon, also shared his group’s surveillance footage with TheDCNF.
The surveillance videos, which are mostly from 2018 but also date back to 2016, show an unrelenting stream of alleged cartel scouts, drug mules and human smugglers — known as coyotes — using secret trails to work their way into the interior of the state. Many of the trespassers tote long guns and sport military-style camouflage, posing a threat Chilton knows from firsthand experience.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot by smugglers in a remote section of Chilton’s ranch in June, according to The Washington Times. It was the latest in a long line of violent incidents that prove border security is not a priority for the government, according to Chilton, who is a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump’s efforts to build a border wall.
