Arizona Ranchers Report Surge in Cartel Smuggling Despite Drop in Migrant Crossings

Local ranchers criticize Vice President Harris' border policies as ineffective, citing increased trafficking on their properties.

Ranchers in Arizona observe high levels of cartel smuggling activity, with some reporting up to 100 illegal crossings daily.
Despite a decrease in recorded migrant crossings, smuggling operations continue to thrive, facilitated by gaps in the border wall.
Ranchers attribute the rise in smuggling to insufficient border security measures and open floodgates during monsoon season.
The Biden administration's recent efforts to curb illegal crossings are deemed inadequate by local residents and border patrol agents.
Ranchers express concerns over the impact on their livelihoods, including cattle deaths due to trash left by smugglers.
