Texas rancher says neighbors find bodies of migrants on property

WHIT, WE WILL TRY IT AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU SEE ON YOUR PROPERTY ON YOUR RANCH? >> SO, WHAT WE SEE, BRIAN, WE ARE A LITTLE BIT NORTH OF THE RIVER. BRIAN: GOT IT? >> THE BORDER WITH MEXICO. WHAT WE END UP SEEING IS WE SEE AND TYPICALLY WHAT WE HEAR ABOUT ON THE NEWS IS PEOPLE CROSSING THAT BORDER. BUT ESSENTIALLY THERE IS ANOTHER BORDER THAT IS ABOUT 50 MILES TO THE NORTH AND WE CALL IT THE INTERIOR CHECK SYSTEM OR THE INTERIOR CHECK POINT. SO, ONCE ALL THESE PEOPLE GET ACROSS THE RIVER, THEY THEN NOW HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER JOURNEY ACROSS TO THIS NEXT. BRIAN: KIND OF LIKE A SECOND BORDER INTERIOR BORDER. AND YOU SAY ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS FOUND ABOUT 100 BODY OVER THE YEARS ON THEIR RANCH. WHAT AGES ARE THEY? WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? >> NO, THAT’S CORRECT. WE HAVE SEEN BODIES. WE DON’T FIND THIS MANY. IT’S ALL BASED ON WHERE YOU ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED AND HOW PEOPLE TRAVEL AND WHERE YOU ARE AS TO WHERE THE BODY ARE FOUND. WE FIND MORE LIKE TWO TO THREE. I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW, THAT’S STILL ENOUGH. BRIAN: ABSOLUTELY. >> SOME PEOPLE ARE FINDING UP TO, ARE YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, A NEIGHBOR OF MINE HAS BEEN FINDING CLOSE TO 10 A YEAR FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. BRIAN: SO YOU SAY THAT THESE ARE MEN BETWEEN THEIR 20’S AND 40’S NEVER QUALIFY FOR ASYLUM. >> RIGHT NOW IT IS. BRIAN: RIGHT. >> RIGHT NOW IT IS, BRIAN. IT’S NOT ALWAYS THAT WAY. IN FACT, RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING HARDLY ANY CHILDREN OR WOMEN BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON ON THE RIVER, THOSE PEOPLE AREN’T HAVING TO MAKE THIS JOURNEY. THEY ARE BEING, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN CLAIM ASYLUM, THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN CAN AND THEY ARE BEING BUSED PLACES RIGHT 2340U6 THERE IS A REAL KIND OF A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION. YOU HAVE SINGLE MEN MALES COMING UP. AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST -- THERE IS A SENSE OF FEAR THAT EXISTS DOWN HERE ALL THE TIME. IT’S A TERRIBLE SITUATION. BRIAN: IT’S NOT FAIR AND THAT’S WHY YOU ARE LOOKING TO TRY TO PASS A LAW TO TRY TO STOP THIS SMUGGLING TO PUT MORE TEETH IN THE LAW TEXAS TO DEAL WITH SMUGGLERS. WHAT DOES THAT LAW SOUND LIKE? WHAT DOES IT READ LIKE? >> THAT’S RIGHT. IT’S A STATE LAW. IT’S HB 687. AND WE’RE REAL FORTUNATE THAT WE GOT A HEARING FOR IT YESTERDAY. AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT BASICALLY HELPS PENALIZE SMUGGLERS AND PROVIDES PROTECTION FOR IMMIGRANTS. IT ALLOWS OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DO, INSTEAD OF -- IT HELPS IMPROVE THE PENALTY ON OR STRENGTHEN THE PENALTY ON TRESPASSING. BRIAN: GOTCHA. >> FROM A STATE LEVEL AND GIVES OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ABILITY TO DO MORE WITH THE SITUATION. BRIAN: GOTCHA. WHIT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING THAT EVERYONE LOOKS AT THE RIVER AND BORDER AND THERE IS A SECOND BORDER YOU JUST
