I go through this all the time living so close to the 
border. Border patrol is one of the better paying jobs 
around here, as they are frequently killed by drug 
smugglers. A biologist friend of mine was in the wrong 
place at the wrong time--down testing the river water and 
returned to find his truck bed full of marijuana and 
someone who did not speak English asking for payment. He 
decided to take a job elsewhere after this incident.

Some months upwards to 10,000 illegals are caught 
traveling through my area because of the wilderness and 
water. One canyon over people must leave their houses 
unlocked or they will break the windows to get food. Some 
of them now carry weapons. Imagine coming home to an empty 
pantry after all your hard work. Some people just leave 
bottled water and canned goods in boxes by their front 
gates in hopes their houses don't get damaged. Every once 
in a while a local gets caught transporting them and does 
time.

This area was once a big Mohair producer, but the bottom 
fell out when they could no longer hire the illegals to do 
the shearing. There are warehouses full of bales of the 
stuff.

I don't know how I feel about immigration, I see both 
sides, but I do know the inconveniences of both the system 
and the problem.
