Watch: Migrant Garbage Fills Texas Ranchlands near Border
EAGLE PASS, Texas — A Texas rancher provided video he took showing mounds of trash and discarded clothing left on his land from migrants traveling on foot. The video was taken as the rancher conducted a game survey. The rancher says the litter problem grows daily as migrants cross through his property to meet smugglers on a nearby highway.
The rancher says most of each day’s labor is spent repairing fences and water systems servicing animal life. Little time is left for typical operations and improvements. He says migrants often break water pipes connected to livestock tanks—exposing animal life to deadly dehydration. Damaged fences can result in cattle wandering onto the bordering highway and case vehicular accidents. In those cases, the ranch would be held liable.
