A border tribe, and the wall that will divide it

Many of the tribe members oppose the wall but some say there are lots of drugs and illegal that use the opening to cross into the US and members of the tribe are making money drug smuggling and illegals crossing and they oppose the wall. We cannot secure the border without a fence across the tribal land. They can still cross in and out of Mexicos side of the tribal land. A wall would not keep them from doing that.

On the Fence: Tohono O'odham Need Better Security but Is Trump's Wall the Answer?

I don't think this is a decisive issue.

Pick a side and live there. Use a passport to cross whenever they want. SIMPLE

 

[Freiheit]

This is a silly issue seems the only objectors are smugglers. Criminals in more precise words.

Maybe follow the law, and either live in one country, or go back and forth legally.

some property owners already have issues with parts of the border fencing/walls that cut up their properties. And all it really does is inconvenience them .. people still get through

many of these property owners have lived in America longer than any Trump

That was then and this is now. If the tribe is letting drugs smugglers and illegals cross into us through their land then it is a problem and they are getting paid to let them pass. They are not doing anything with the worthless piece of desert anyway. A wall will not stop them from passing to and from the part of there land that is in Mexico and it does not desecrate the useless shitty land. What they really want is for the US to pay them to put the wall upon their land. We cannot secure the border without a fence on the tribal land.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - Dec. 15, 2010) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the first blow struck by his newly created Border Crimes Enforcement Section. Eighteen members of a major cross-border marijuana smuggling ring have been indicted in Tucson. The group is alleged to have smuggled large amounts of marijuana and cash drug proceeds through the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O'odham Indian reservation.

Rather like arguing against building a bridge on the narrowest point across a valley because it would displace 137 endangered frogs.

Two words for that... "Puhhh --- leeeeze" !!!

I say build the wall around them and let them be part of Mexico. The walls, fences, agents have not worked and 20 milion here illegally is proof. We need immigration reform that allows us to mandatory E-Verify, deport and monitor visa overstays, deal with automatic birthright citizenship, hire more agents and NO amnesty and NO path to citizenship. But we got to get past the Dimwits and their love for illegal aliens. All these things have to be part of border security. Immigration Reform has to include enforcement. If not, nothing will stop them.
