A new record by far. I'm not seeing any people - not even drug runners???? - crossing these ranches at all because I guess they're all not trying to sneak into the USA.... they hand themselves in and walk in. I've seen 3 people this month on the ranches I'm working that usually have "man prints" 3-4 times per week on them. Press 1 for Spanish.... Press 2 for English....

We have reverted back to 800 AD when their weren't yet nations with borders I guess?

It is a very sad day to watch what this country has become . Mark you be careful out there because you never no when you could run into trouble ... Jon

I remember about 5-6 years ago when I came around a corner on a ranch south of Del Rio and there were 10 people standing around a trapped coyote I had caught. I slammed on the brakes, almost sent my dog over the dash and all but 2 hit the bushes. Well, what they call bushes here... mesquite and cactus and buckbrush. Two stayed and I wheeled up. They didn't speak English and I speak very little Spanish but thank goodness for Translator iPhone apps which let me know they were asking, "Is this your coyote?" I answered "Si, mi coyote." They both said. "Good" in English and then turned and ran into the bushes.

I waited 5 minutes, dispatched the coyote and called border patrol. I have no idea what became of these 10. Might be up in Illinois near you Jon? If so, tell them the coyote was fine. My dog was on ready the whole time though!!!! I carry a 9mm in those areas, I guess to feel safer? Donna has a .38.

The scary thing is 251,487 is the number they are reporting

Which means you can probably multiply that by at least 4

And now illegal crossings on the northern border are on the increase as well. So there are now 2 fronts.

Liberals hate blue collar workers making as much as they do. They are disgusted by the fact a roofer makes more than a teacher with a masters degree. This is how they make sure the blue collar worker is put back in their place

Of course turn yourself in, get a free plane ticket to anywhere you want to go, free meals and set you up in a 5 star hotel with room service and free wifi! 100's of terrorist coming in as well, probably got a free pass long as they don't blow up a shopping mall until a republican is in office so they can blame them for it!

Public too stupid to know what's going on, most don't even care. Saudi's selling oil now for any currency, no longer just the petro dollar! First sign our currency is about to be worthless but keep printing and borrowing more billion's so we can feed house clothe and provide free medical care to our invader's.

Probably up here putting on roofs and you carry plenty of extra ammunition

This is what Demonrat Libturds do!!! They Destroy our Country with illegal Felons then even SUPPORT them while our Veterans struggle!!! Look what that Illegal Felon did in Jacksonville Florida. He had been Deported twice before for Felon Sex Crimes against little girls but President F M UP decided he could get a free Bus Ride to Jacksonville where he immediately broke into a home and killed the Father daughter and her Fiance with a Kitchen Knife and when the Mother got home at 6 am from her shift at the ER she found the carnage and called the Police. It was not hard to prove it was him since he was passed out drunk in a bed still at the home!!! So much for President F M UP and his Oath to Protect the citizens of the USA from both Foreign and Domestic Dangers!!!

The Brandon administration has waiting facilities just south of the border where would be border crossers are redirected to . There they receive humanity vouchers , supplies , and instructions to when and where to cross.

This keeps the total number of illegal crossings down

He is destroying this country and killing its people with drugs.

Never Trumpers love this guy and look the other way , pretending they don't see the total destruction of America

Lots of conjecture and falsities in this one..

Why should a teacher with a five year degree not make more than a roofer?

I want. Both. To succeed. It doesn't have to be one against the other.

Why wouldn't they ?

Roofer works 2000 hrs + a year
Teacher works 1500 hrs or equivalent to 3/4 time
It takes more than 5 yrs for a roofer to become an expert



You won't see a roofer on strike asking for more money and less hrs/responsibility

How many hours a year of continuing education do roofers need to take during hours unpaid?

Do roofers have to continue their work at home of evening unpaid?

Is it a requirement by the state for a roofer to go to a four year institution? If years of college is required for a job, then the pay should reflect that investment.

Back to original point, the original comment about libwrals putting blue collar workers in place is bologna.

And when physical ability is required for a job, then the pay should reflect the punishment on the body. Teacher falls down, the kids laugh and s/he is embarrassed. Roofer falls down and he may never work again. I'll bet most roofers don't have a 30 year career. Not knocking teachers, but apples to oranges. But, I think everyone would agree, we want good teachers and good roofers.

I stand by what I said because I see it all the time. Rich liberals like to pretend they are Moses saving people from the desert but its not compassion that fuels them its a desire to have their remodel done for the lowest cost possible

"Educated professionals" don't want a welder buying a new truck a bass boat and a nice house in their neighborhood, they want those status symbols for themselves. Jealousy and sexual competition hidden behind compassion

Rich liberals and rich conservatives want different things?

Educated professionals don't want others to have bass boats due to jealousy and sexual competition?

I assume half the work force is educated professionals.

Lots of broad brush strokes here.

I worked on a ranch by Eagle Pass TX in 2010. 213,000 acres we saw illegals on a daily basis. Went to hunt a ground blind one morning there were 3 in there as I tried to step in the unzipped blind! Scared me, and scared them even more , I’ve never seen a human move as fast as they did outta sight. It was the “Coyote” that you had to keep an eye for. The leader of the group, was usually armed. The others were harmless, but nonetheless Illegal! I couldn’t believe that this was such an issue at the time, and how under-publicized it was.

Load em up, tote em home. Repeat.
