I own a ranch here in Central Texas, pretty close to the middle of nowhere. In the past years we would occasionally get a trespasser. Sometimes illegals, sometimes not. Most of them were either poachers or just cutting through on their way somewhere.
However, over the last 6 months I have caught and sent on their way a bunch of illegals. Sometimes families cutting through my ranch. Sometimes groups of young men camping. The other night I caught 8 men with backpacks cutting through. They were not Mexican and did not speak any English. I assume they were speaking Arabic or something like that. They did not look to be carrying any weapons and promptly left my property when I motioned them to. I am needing to beef up my perimeter control because of this new normal. Anyone else been seeing this personally? In town, on the road, on your property. etc? |

We have great Mexican restaurants around here, and many of them
Good luck, and stay safe |

Damn, that really sucks OP. Stay safe out there.
How much are you patrolling your property lines and what weapons are you carrying? On another note, in my AO (Vail Valley) we have almost a 50% Hispanic population down valley. Mexicans pretty much own the construction / service industries in these parts. Overall though, they don't bother me at all outside of some of the younger ones that bring in some drugs here and there. I've noticed alot of them are hard working, family oriented and generally good people. |

Not so much where I am, but down south where some do my wife’s family is from they are seeing problem.

There was another member posting about his issues. I'm sorry i don't recall who though.

My ranch is in south Texas on the costal plain. We don't find them hardly at all on our property, but we are a bit off the main drug and illegal highway of 59. Most reports from the SO have the illegals mobile by truck or SUV in our county. Chases and bailouts happen often, but not near us it seems. We are of course always vigilant.

I've definitely noticed more hispanics in my area, especially the beggars. They will have the whole damn family out on the street corners begging for money. This is in the predominately black west Atlanta area, I've heard it is worse in some areas of town that already had a large hispanic presence.

Went down to the border in 2022 to train deployed ARNG. The cartels are watching the border closely.

Everywhere in Texas there is a freeway underpass or a traffic light at the interstates are now the Illegals Sideshow.
They have supplanted the local homeless. |

Definitely noticeable here, theres tons of those pieces of shit around now.

We did not used to have a set time to ride the perimeter in the side by side. Now we go out every four hours with two people, night vision, a shotgun with 00 and slugs and an AR-15 with thermal. I have never had to fire a shot and hope to God I never do. But things are getting worse. You can see it and feel it in your gut. |

Primarily in the traffic and workforce around here.
Though I have noticed the last couple times I've been in walmart there were multiple groups of 4-5 males, 25-35ish, just wandering the store with no cart, no items in their hands, just trolling around, that seemed odd to me |

Makes me think of the good Ole days when we would raid Mexico

Stolen vehicles are on the rise. Electronic tracking is a must now days.

My buddy and his family sold their ranch in Uvalde a couple years ago. The illegals had gotten so bad they were confronting them every time they were there hunting. They would do a morning hunt, leave items in the stand for the evening hunt, and upon their return the items would be gone. Border patrol had their gate code and would routinely be chasing them through their ranch. And this was a happening 3+ years ago.

I’m having a pool and shop built currently. I’ve felt like Davy Crockett at the Alamo more than once.

Contact Gov. Abbot's office and have them send you some razor wire.

All of he teenagers have been fired and replaced by Latinos at.fast food restaurants ($15 / hr vs $7.50 / hr).
They are actually better workers. .. On the flip side, there’s a lot more pot smoking and stolen cars... |

Yes.
Busloads of mexicans and other migrants dropped off my neighborhood after midnight. The other night 2 busloads dropped in front of my locked gate. LMAO. Tenants in one of my commercial properties complained of rats in the attic, further inspection reveals illegals living in the flat roof portion of the building. I could go on and on and photos and vids but my old 22+ years old account doesn't work at the moment tried password reset doesn't work, we'll see, etc. |

I live in Tucson, so yes.
On a bike ride a couple of weeks ago I witnessed about 40 obviously Mex/Central American types following our bike path/trail northbound. My friend that has 125 acres in Sonoita find evidence of tresspass on her property regularly.. |

On a daily basis working on sections of the Rio Grande. I looked it up we have been paid for about 2000 hours of standby time while “law enforcement actions” were performed on the site so ~ 25% of the job cost is just watching BP move along “Asylum seekers” and arrest drug mules.

I’m surprised people are still on foot by there. I wonder if they are hauled by vehicle up that way and then dumped off again. If they made it all that way on foot that would be pretty impressive. Kind of makes the EMP threads off the mark when talking about how far significant numbers of people will travel. |

I'm seeing an increase in Hispanic drivers with no ID/consular ID driving a car with no insurance registered to someone else 5 years ago. And there's a prostitution ring in town that didn't exist a year ago.
So that's fun. |

My brother lives in San Antonio. He's a fucking liberal so they should all be sent there and let him deal with them. He claims that nothing has changed there but I don't believe him.

In my county in Ga . Over 90% of the health department budget went to paying for pregnant illegals.

Yep, traffic is up for sure. We leave water out on the cow camp porch (so they don’t break in) and it's disappearing at a faster rate than years past. We get a lot of traffic due to the BP checkpoint nearby and are also seeing sign in areas that normally are untraveled. We don’t leave the camp unlocked anymore since we found one deceased in there a few years back.

Saw an IG video today of some guys playing a municipal? Course in Eagle Pass, and the muchachos were chearing the T shots lol

I work construction in central ky and the amount of illegals is incredible. I moved to a farm Eastern ky and there is really no influx of illegals.
I’ve often wondered how it is to live around the border. That’s just awful to have to deal with that. What kind of fencing you all use? They aren’t destroying it I hope. |
