When the migrants cross the Mexican border and enter Jim and Sue Chilton’s ranch, they go one of two ways.

They wear slippers made of carpet over their shoes to make it harder to be tracked.
“When you’re standing there with AR-15s and my guys are pretty much all combat veterans so they know how to handle themselves, they don’t get jumpy, they just stand there and say ‘Vámonos’ and it works,” he said. Foley thought he would still be needed at the border even if Trump did order the military to intervene.
