Faced with gun-toting drug smugglers, Arizona ranchers demand security at the border

As we know, the federal government under Obama isn't doing its job of securing the border with Mexico. In my opinion, our army could fix the border problem overnight by bringing troops home from fighting Obama's wars overseas. The peaceful way to fix the problem is to follow the Constitution, since Obama clearly is doing this on purpose to support the North American Union, to impeach Obama and get rid of him, not re-elect him in a phony rigged election. Then if that doesn't work, follow the Declaration of Independence. Several 3-minute videos.

'"The druggers outrageously use my land at will," said Chilton, who frequently finds evidence of smugglers on his land -- well-worn trails, cut fences, discarded water bottles, clothing and shoes. His home has been burglarized twice and he is constantly on the lookout for armed smuggling groups while he and his employees round up cows on his remote land.

"Can you imagine riding your horse through here on your own land and running into a guy with an AK-47 and 20 or 30 guys behind him dressed in camouflage and carrying drugs?" he asked.

For neighboring rancher David Beckham the problem is even more severe. Earlier this year he made the painful decision to move himself, his wife and three boys away from their ranch, which sits about 12 miles north of the Mexican border.

"It's not safe, it’s not safe for my kids," he said. The Beckhams have had numerous run-ins on their land with Mexican smugglers.

Their cattle fences are frequently cut and paths heading north from Mexico cross their property. Beckham says a smuggler even fired shots at him while he walked his land with a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Several illegal border crossers have also approached his house at night--one even reaching his hand into their bathroom window.

"Several years ago, one of my children was taking a shower and had a gentleman reach into the shower while he was in there, and he came out screaming, absolutely refusing to take a shower for the next couple months."

The Beckhams, like the Chiltons, scoff at the Obama administration’s claims the U.S.-Mexican border is safer than ever.'
