Illegal Aliens walk a mountain path from Mexico into AZ.
Huachuca, AZ August 21, 2009---While overall Border Patrol apprehensions and illegal traffic appear to be down across the Southwestern US, rumors of "amnestia" are once again driving illegal aliens to El Norte.
It happens every year and there is usually a delay from the time the media starts talking about “immigration reform” again to when the illegal traffic begins to increase. With President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton paying regular visits to the neighbor next door, it was only a matter of time before the rumor mill got all wound up and the word reached the fields of Oaxaca. Today, with DHS Secretary Napolitano all but promising immigration reform to an assembled collection of more than 100 pro amnesty groups, businesses and Law Enforcement Associations at the White House, we are certain to see an increase in traffic heading illegally into the US. Whether she cam fulfill that promise and when remains a very big question.
Unlike previous Amnesty surges though, these future democrats will be greeted by twice the number of Border Patrol Agents and a border fortified with stronger fences and more robust defenses. Still, BP cannot be everywhere and many are likely to make it through especially in the more remote areas.
Such is the case in the Huachuca Mountains of Southern Arizona where the terrain is treacherous and the traffic hasn’t slowed one bit. On a hidden camera along one such trail, 400 illegal aliens passed by in the 35 day period between June 20th 2009 and July 25th. To view this shocking video: Click Here
The wildlife camera, placed by a citizen border watcher, clearly shows dozens of men, women and yes even small children, navigating this trail with backpacks, water jugs and who knows what else. Were this an isolated case it could perhaps be explained. Sadly, this number has been fairly consistent for the last few months. The border watcher works alone and doesn’t belong to any Minuteman type group. He has been shooting these videos for the past two years, which have also captured on digital film, bears, mountain lions and other assorted wildlife along the same path. His videos have been shown on CNN.
What is driving the increase in traffic? Certainly not the economy in the US. Many illegal aliens are heading south not north but the word, both good and bad, travels slow in this part of the world. The increases in traffic may be an indicator of what is to come as the rhetoric and promises of amnesty spiral out of control. It has also driven Border Patrol to increase its vigilance of remote areas placing more resources to stop the flow of people and drugs. Still, their resources are not limitless and if they place men, women and materials in the dark recesses of those mountains, another chink in the armor is likely to develop elsewhere.
While rumors of a secure border sweep America, another more insistent call has gone out to the third world: Get here while the getting is good!

The video is shocking. We need more enforcement. This trail is clearly a porous area that needs a doubled fortified fence and guard patrol to stop this.
Each of the 10-15 million people who have come to our country illegally show up with nothing, barely the clothes on their backs and no means of support.
When an immigrant is accepted into this country legally, they need to prove that they have resources, family or work connections in place that would keep them from needing to rely on taxpaid social services from the state. They can't just come here and look for work. Can't just show up to have their baby or medical treatment for free. But these folks do.
When they cross our borders illegally, they are just showing up without any screening, ID or invitation. Legally, they need to be photographed, fingerprinted and deported. If they show up again, we need to know who they are. Re-entry after deportation is a federal offense barring citizenship for life.
Im partial to what MadMommy said.
You people need to come to the realization that our corrupt government along with Big Business WANT Illegal Aliens in this country. Obama will very soon be trying to force Comprehensive Immigration Reform (AMNESTY) down our throats once again. It is up to you to decide if you want that to happen. My guess is that the majority of American Citizens do not want Amnesty especially at a time we are in a major Recession with double digit unemployment. In case you have not noticed, about every person that Obama has installed as Secretary of whatever are in favor or Amnesty. Illegal Aliens will continue to flood into this country. Our government has no intention of stopping the invasion of Illegals.
ILLEGAL ALIENS GO HOME!
I know the government wants them here, but too me this is one thing that the average joe could change if we just would. If store owners quit pandering people that could not speak english, and if american private companies would quit hiring them we wouldn't have this problem. Americans need to start with communication. Quit learning spanish, and definatly never use it to aid a non english speaking person. If the majority of us just did that they would find it very hard to get along in this country.
