Border rancher: Illegal crossings down 90% since Trump became presidentApril 25, 2017 By Kyle Olson
Arizona ranchers John Ladd and Fred Davis invited House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to see the southern border from their property, but she never responded.
But they responded this morning to Pelosi’s recent claim that the border wall is “immoral, expensive, unwise.”
Appearing on Fox & Friends on Tuesday, Ladd said border crossings by illegal aliens have decreased 90% to 95% since Donald Trump took office.
Perhaps more shockingly, Ladd has determined through Border Patrol data that some 500,000 illegal aliens have crossed his property in the 30 years he’s owned it.
Davis disputed Pelosi’s notion that a wall would divide border towns.
“All the communities that I know about, all the cities along the border, already have high fences,” he told co-host Steve Doocy, disputing Pelosi’s argument.
“Where the wall is necessary is in a lot of the outlying areas that still only have a four-wire barbed-wire fence between Mexico and us.”
Davis said the wall, which he said is one tool, is necessary to stop drug cartels and other criminals from entering the U.S.
“You’ve got to put boots on the ground to make it effective, and that’s been part of the problem on what places they have a wall now,” he said.
