500 Illegals Pass Through His Ranch Every Day!
The 160-section Johnson Ranch is a cow-calf operation that shares eight miles of border with Mexico.
“We’ve lived here on the border all our lives,” Johnson says. “Here in the last two years, the violence has just been escalating.”
“Close to 500-plus illegal aliens cross our ranch every single day,” Johnson says.
He points to trash-littered trails crisscrossing through the creosote bushes in his pastures. Between his house and the Caprizalillo Hills a quarter-mile away, there are some 15 distinct footpaths winding through the brush.
“They have trails that go into each of our livestock waters,” Johnson notes.
Illegal aliens, he says, continually run cattle away from the water. One group will come in and run cattle off. When they leave, the cattle return only to be run off by the next group.
“They break our floats off,” Johnson adds. “They drain our storage system.”
He says that is on a daily basis, not just occasionally.
“We have trails completely around the house,” Johnson says. “They come within 20 yards of our home.”
Shortly before midnight on July 3, Johnson got a call from the Border Patrol that there was a grass fire in one of his pastures.
“It was a pretty good grass fire,” Johnson says. “As the fire department was coming down the road to put out the fire, three illegal aliens tried to flag them down. The Border Patrol went back and picked up the three illegal aliens. They admitted to lighting the fire because they were tired and thirsty, and they wanted to be picked up.”
