Border Rancher Records 3000 Images Of Illegal Immigrant
Arizona Rancher Jill Chilton revealed in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday that he has recorded more than 3,000 images of suspected illegal immigrants and cartel smugglers trespassing through his property.
“Well, I have five motion-activated cameras. In the last three years, I’ve collected 3,050 images of people in camouflage, carpet shoes, and similar backpacks,” Chilton said. “I’m sure – I’ve been told – that at least 20% are packing drugs to come into our country to poison our people.”
Chilton revealed this in an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the ongoing southern border crisis and its effects on his ranch, which spans five miles across the Arizona-Mexico border.
He told the outlet about recent actions from the Biden administration regarding border security. In his words, he doesn’t find the recent actions promising, given the administration’s track record.
“No, there’s so many people coming through the border that they are busy processing people,” he said. “I haven’t seen a Border Patrol agent on the ranch proper for over four months.”
When asked by host Laura Inagraham if he reaches out to Border Patrol when he encounters migrants, he said the law enforcement agents had been stopped from enforcing federal law.
They have also been stopped from arresting those who illegally cross the border. Instead, they serve as taxpayer-funded chauffeurs.
“Essentially, the Border Patrol guys tell me they’re nothing but taxi agents picking up people coming across the border and wanting to be apprehended, processed and released into the country,” Chilton said.
“Now that’s the hole in the border that is in your ranch. There’s the fence, or whatever you want to call that, and then that’s where they come through?” Ingraham asked.
“That’s one spot, and then the end of the wall is on our ranch,” Chilton responded. “It proceeded from Sasabe out east, and then on Biden’s first day in office, he stopped it with a half a mile to go on my ranch.”
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, ever since Biden entered the White House in 2021, the southern border has hit record-breaking numbers.
Data shows nearly 7.3 million illegal immigrants encountered by officials.
