Man, the GOP really loves their Arizona "Border Rancher" story lines.

But isn't Bush's Secure Fence Act actually to blame for the increase of crossings on private land?

I've read a couple of stories that say the new fences in AZ border towns basically pushed crossers out into the ranches.

Oof.

Hogan Gidley was on Fox News just now and refused to flatly deny the claims, even when the Fox News host pointed out that his zig zagging was not in any way a denial.

I've wondered about this. Theoretically the "wall" will be built closer to towns and populated areas first, right? So at least in the short term, you'll see more people crossing in more remote ranch areas, right? I'm not too familiar with where a fence/wall currently exists. How do ranchers along the border actually feel about all of this?

They did largely vote for Trump, but from what I've read, most of them would rather see better roads, a few more agents and better technology than a better/bigger wall.

How disappointed will Pearl Jam be if the Trump presidency ends (resignation/impeachment/choking on a Filet O Fish) before they can release their angry Trump record?

Well then maybe they shouldn't have voted for the guy whose campaign slogan was "Build that wall!" Sending them my thoughts and prayers.
