God bless that sheriff. America needs a lot more like him.
PS A major part of the problem is US drug prohibition. It puts fantastic amounts of wealth under the control of organized crime (just like alcohol prohibition did). With fantastic wealth comes the corruption of the police and government, which is driving Mexicans to cross the border. The only way to pull the rug out from under this dynamic is to legalize all drugs. The fact that police and government here so strongly resist this is powerful evidence that the corruption has become strongly entrenched here as well.

Calling ABC News mainstream is a long strech. What would you call the MSM? Or were you being ironic? Which is perfectly okay. - Tom

I wasn't aware that any citizens lived in Hudspeth county....just kidding. I haven't looked up the population but I bet 50% of the population is related to the sherrif.....maybe 
Otto is my co-pilot.

Hudspeth is part of the Trans-Pecos area, an absolute gem in terms of game species. I was hoping to keep it secret, but here goes the neighborhood.

There are quite a few fed up folks here in Texas. It's good that Slick Rick the Dick Perry ain't the only voice from here! He may start feeling some heat, before too long. The other fellers in Austin may also start listening. It's getting ((LOUDER))..

Well it SHOULD.
Get involved, while keeping your head down too.
I'm betting this Video's gonna be a GREAT wake up call.
Best of luck,....

There are a couple or three remarkable things about this piece, given that it was broadcast by ABC. Their previous practice with stories like this was to selectively edit the video so that viewers only saw the drooling idiots. And then they would find some local Democrats to complain about racial profiling. THIS piece though, was different. The locals interviewed were the intelligent ones. My God, one of the ranchers actually knew what the word "contiguous" meant.  Even more unusual was, they didn't have anyone presenting the illegal-immigrant viewpoint. Even more unusual, they broadcast some of the Sheriff's video of a Mexican army Humvee on American soil. This is a small, yet significant change in ABC's tone and attitude. Whether it keeps up is a question, though. - Tom

Do you read this junk before you hit submit? The nexus between drug prohibition and the growth of both organized crime and the police state are irrefutable. I must assume that police and government officials are not complete morons. That leaves only corruption as the explanation.

WTF? No the way to stop it is to start shooting drug smugglers and sellers in the head immediately after being caught in the act.

Tyrannies have little trouble effectively outlawing recreational drugs precisely because they can use the tactics you recommend, but in a society like ours it won't work. We've seen, over the past fifty years or so the best our society is capable of doing in eliminating recreational drug use.
