SANTA CRUZ COUNTY , Ariz. — Jim Chilton , owner of Chilton Ranch near Arivaca, Ariz. is shedding light on how people are crossing through his property even though they don’t want to be caught.
Chilton says he sees a difference between migrants who wish to be caught so they can make their asylum claims, and those trying to evade law enforcement.Two years ago, one of Chilton's cowboys had a bad encounter with someone on property they suspect was carrying drugs. He showed KGUN 9 the gap in the border wall directly across from one of his fences, that he says is providing easy entry for the two people entering the country. He says they come through the gap and use a gate they created to enter his ranch.
“They talk to the people coming through and guide them," Chilton said."They see the border patrol they say everybody sit down. They’re in camouflage so border patrol never sees them. It makes me angry.”
