A fifth-generation Arizona rancher said an influx of illegal migrants
crossing his land in recent years has increased his fear that terrorists
are successfully sneaking into America.
"It's really a serious issue," Jim Chilton, owner of the Chilton Ranch,
told Fox News. "We have no security on our ranch nor in most places
along the border anymore. It's not good. It's not better in any sense.
It's still outrageous."
The ongoing crisis at the southern border is breaking records as illegal
migrant entries skyrocket, according to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) data. The first week of December saw a record-setting
18,900 migrant apprehensions in Arizona's Tucson Sector alone, the
section's Chief Border Patrol Agent John Modlin said.
By comparison, that's about 2,000 more encounters than all of December
2021 for that sector, according to CBP data. Daily encounters also
reached a new record-high across the southern border earlier this month,
with more than 12,000 migrants flooding in on Dec. 4.
"It's a national security issue," Chilton said. "I'm very concerned that
terrorists are coming across the border."
CBP encountered 169 people on the FBI terror watch lists between ports
of entry at the southern border in fiscal 2023, data show. That total
exceeded not only the previous year's record-setting 98 encounters, but
the last six fiscal years combined.
"When are they going to strike, and are they walking through my ranch?"
Chilton said.
The border rancher previously told Fox News his wife, while home alone,
opened the door to MS-13 members carrying guns.
"It’s kind of scary," Chilton said. "That’s just life on the border."

Chilton fears more cartel members crossed his property without his
knowledge this year. He said cartels fight for control of the trails
through his ranch, and he's occasionally seen coyotes smuggling migrants
across his land.
"We have cartel scouts on our mountains," he said. They "really have
control of everything."
The fifth-generation rancher is frightened that cartels flood certain
areas with migrants to divert Border Patrol agents, creating undermanned
sections where smugglers can bring in terrorists and drugs. The port of
entry in Lukeville, Arizona, for example, closed Dec. 4 so that agents
could address an illegal migrant surge nearby.
"It's a method of controlling where everybody goes. It's a method for
opening up other routes for crossing really bad guys, drug packers,"
Chilton previously told Fox News. "The cartel is running drugs and bad
people across other areas."
Chilton partially blames the migrant influx on President Biden's
decision to halt construction on the border wall, which protects only
part of his property. The administration approved $950 million for
repairs and upgrades in November, but Chilton still urged Biden to
finish construction and hire more Border Patrol agents to protect
Americans.
"You shouldn't give a message to the world that the border is open and
all you have to do is come through, and you'll get processed, captured
and released into the United States," Chilton said. "It's a national
security issue."
