One rancher lost 13 cows in one year. They were shot, butchered, and left to rot. Homes are broken into. Residents are afraid to go out at night. One rancher tells of being beaten almost to death by illegals.
Residents are afraid to sleep.
They are prisoners in their homes. Committee members, my constituents are pleading for help. I am awed by reports that the Tucson Sector set a record by apprehending 60,537 illegal immigrants in March of this year alone. Those numbers are nothing short of staggering. When a mass of six hundred illegal individuals recently attempted to move all at once across the border near Douglas, my constituents asked how they might be able to protect their families and homes if they were faced with a similar situation.
