Cartel Land
1
There's an
imaginary line out there
Between right and wrong.
Good and evil.
I believe
what I'm doing is good.
And I believe what I'm
standing up against is evil.
It's the cartels, they are the
ones terrorizing their own country
And now they're starting
to do it over here.
gunshots
on the us border with mexico.
with a porous border
cartel violence is spreading.
warning visitors to beware
of heavily armed drug smugglers
And human traffickers.
ranchers finding
drug stashes on their property.
Calling the border patrol,
sometimes getting help sometimes not.
this area has been
ceded to the cartels.
This is no longer really the United States.
They own it.
the situation's getting so bad
are completely overwhelmed.
concerned citizens
are arming themselves,
Trekking into dangerous
cartel territory.
we're out here alone,
The situation becomes
more violent everyday
And it concerns us
not just for our safety,
But for the future
of this nation.
mexico's
right around the f***ing corner
And there's the staging area
a f***ing mile away.
They're gonna have...
If they come through,
They're gonna have
to walk right by us.
Stick hard f***ing left.
Stay close to the brush.
If anything f***ing happens,
they will have no problem fighting it out.
We're so close to the f***ing
border right now.
They have more guns,
they have more people.
It's kind of like a david
We're david and they're goliath.
That's where the dirt bags are
sitting up top, right up there.
Roger that.
Go.
F***.
The cartel scouts
keep getting away.
Damn it!
They have a beautiful
set up here.
They just have to sit right here
And they can see the road
for miles and miles and miles.
Technically we're vigilantes
Upholding the law
where there is no law.
But the phrase vigilante,
It's been given a bad name
by the media.
claim to be protecting our state
From foreign threats
and from our own government.
But the state's growing
militia movement
Is causing concern
among law enforcement
fire.
Back in the day
vigilante wasn't a bad thing.
Say the bandits was
riding into your town,
The town's people would all get together
and, you know, defend their town.
Now when people hear that phrase
they think of a vigilante
As somebody who's got white
sheets over their head
And they're gonna hang
f***ing people from trees.
It's bullshit.
This is what I consider
to be the wild wild west.
There is nothing down here,
there's no mall.
I'm supposed to be able
to pick up my telephone
And go, "911 come help us."
But it's an hour
and a half out of tucson.
What the f*** am I going to do
sitting around for an hour and a half
If I'm being attacked
by the cartels?
People scream out,
you know, "oh, your racists.
Oh, you're vigilante,"
and la la la.
Bring your asses down here.
I'll take you out
on a nickel tour
In the middle
of the fricking night,
And you tell me that
it's safe and secure.
Those f***ers over there,
the cartels,
They don't care about anybody.
thanks to a new report
By the southern
poverty law center,
We know that anti-government
patriot groups are now
At an all time high
in this country.
We need to pay attention
to this folks.
Bullshit.
So the southern
poverty law center
Has just labeled us
an extremist hate group.
But we're just regular
people who're standing up
And saying, "enough's enough,
we're sick and fricking tired."
Something needs to be done.
I believe that everybody
has a purpose,
All roads lead to one spot
and this is where I am now.
I left home when I was 15,
I was tired
of the physical and mental,
Emotional, whatever you want to
call the abuse by my father.
feelings and everything out
With alcohol and drugs.
I tried meth for a year or so,
Couldn't even control myself.
And one day I stopped at a bar
And had a few too many.
And I was passing this semi,
and somebody was coming head on.
And I got in front of the semi
And I remember looking up at him and
he just threw his hands up and said,
"can't do anything, sorry."
and I climbed out
Looked down and there was my wallet
and the pictures of my two kids,
And so I said,
"okay, I got it."
So 18 years ago
I quit everything.
Realized that I needed
to deal with, uh, my issues.
And so, I dealt with them.
Once I got cleaned up
I was working construction,
But back in late
'08 when the economy started falling apart
I lost my job overnight,
I lost my house,
I had to sell everything.
I hit the road for a year,
year and a half,
But everywhere I went there was illegals
working on every construction job.
A lot of them are doing
work under the table,
They're not paying taxes,
they're sucking into the system.
So I said, "well I got to
Try to help and do
something about this."
So that's how arizona border
recon came in existence.
I took the last of my savings,
came down to the border.
Lived in my truck for the first
two months in the mountains.
find the trails,
And apprehend illegals
coming out of that area.
but once I learned how the
cartels pretty much controlled,
Both the human smuggling
and the drug smuggling.
We had shifted our primary goal
To keep cartel activity
out of the country.
Our main priority is going after
the bad guys, these motherfuckers.
cartels have been waging a ruthless war
Over the lucrative drug and human
smuggling routes into the United States.
And the affect on our country
maybe just beginning.
The federal government is failing
the people of this country
And especially people
in border states.
do you think that
the federal government
Isn't complacent in this sh*t?
It's all lies.
It's government propaganda.
It's bullshit.
I mean it's not rocket science.
There's more people joining survivalist
groups, militias, now than ever before
Because they're scared
that the country's collapsing,
And a stand is going
to have to be made.
...Waiting for distribution
people that come down
here have their own opinions
On why the border
needs to be secured.
Good night you guys.
I don't always agree
with everybody's views,
But I'm happy to have the help.
Oh, it's burning.
The reason I come down here
Is to do something about
having a porous border.
The truth is tall fences
make for better neighbors.
Especially if you have
conflicting ideas.
You wouldn't put two
pitbulls in the same pen,
And expect them
to get along and not fight.
Why would you put two
races in the same nation,
And expect them to get along.
when you join the
military you take an oath.
And that oath
is to defend the country
Against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.
And right now
