 Border ranchers see threats in US migrant crisis
Story by AFP • 1d 


John Ladd, who says he could ride a horse before he could walk, is a fourth-generation rancher from a family that arrived in Arizona when the border between Mexico and the United States was just a line on the map.
 
Now he views that frontier -- and the thousands of people who spill across it every day -- as a threat to his whole way of life.

"It rules how we run the ranch now, and that isn't the most effective way," he told AFP.

Ladd's sprawling cattle farm runs right up against the wall that -- at least in this stretch -- separates Mexico from the United States.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
