Abby Liebing – Western Journal Jan 28, 2022
Yuma, along with other border counties in Arizona, has begun seeing a surge in immigrants crossing the border. With thousands flooding into the U.S., places like Yuma are suffering as Border Patrol is overwhelmed and local officials and services are stretched thin.
But the influx of immigrants is a nationwide problem and Yuma is just one of the entry points for human and drug trafficking, which is causing a crisis on the border and throughout the whole country.
Sheriff Leon Wilmot of Yuma County spoke with The Western Journal to describe the chaotic situation at the border.
At the end of the year, Mexico began emptying shelters and the Migrant Protection Protocols (also known as “Remain in Mexico” from the Trump administration) were upheld.
This caused a rush at the border.
Wilmot said that typically Border Patrol agents in Yuma deal with about 700 to 800 immigrants a day. But those numbers shot up to over 1,100, even up to 1,300 individuals crossing the border each day.
This overwhelmed Border Patrol and took agents off the border roads in order to try to process those entering. The problem is that Border Patrol was barely able to handle the normal numbers of immigrants crossing the border, let alone an influx.
The surge also strained local resources in Yuma. Immigrants flooded the one hospital in town, called ambulances to pick them up at the border and even walked into Wilmot’s jail to try to get processed.
Under current policies, Wilmot sees no end in sight to this influx.
“[F]rom talking with our federal partners on the ground, they don’t see this stopping or slowing down at all. It’s just increasing,” he said.
But despite this apparent crisis, Homeland Security has not seemed to take any note of the issues at the Mexico border with Yuma.
Wilmot said that Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was actually on the way to San Diego near the end of the year for a cybercrime meeting and didn’t bother to stop in Arizona, despite “knowing full well that there is a crisis down here on the border to the point where the mayor had to declare an emergency because it’s impacting local resources.”
Homeland Security’s neglect is particularly concerning since it is the cartels in Mexico that are actively manipulating a large part of the immigration surge. They are trafficking both humans and drugs over the border.
“That’s all orchestrated by the cartels. Every bit of what you see is orchestrated by the cartels. Every person that you’ve seen that’s crossed, those numbers are paying anywhere from $6,000 to $20,000 to be smuggled across,” Wilmot said. “Just for Yuma alone, the cartels are making about $15 million a week, armed individuals being smuggled across. They control every bit, every mile of this border, so they dictate what crosses and where.”
Wilmot said the cartels tie up Border Patrol and local law enforcement resources with a surge of immigrants and then smuggle humans and narcotics across the border unnoticed. Fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine are coming into the states in huge quantities.
Yuma and other parts of the border are just corridors for these drugs that then spread all across the nation, without apprehension.
“That’s what the American people need to understand. This border crisis is no longer just on the border. It’s coming to their backyard, and they’re going to have to deal with it,” Wilmot said.
The drug smuggling is a two-part problem as well. Not only are narcotics being brought into the U.S., but there is little prosecution if traffickers are caught.
At one point, Wilmot said, he booked 15 individuals in his jail for smuggling 300 pounds of meth. But the U.S. attorney would not charge them.
“So that’s what we’re dealing with, as well, is a lack of prosecution by the federal government because it doesn’t meet their threshold limits. Well, when you’re smuggling in hard narcotics, there shouldn’t be a threshold limit for the U.S. attorney’s office. They ought to do their job,” Wilmot said.
Along with the drug trade problem that Homeland Security is not addressing, there has also been an issue with individuals with potential terrorist ties being smuggled into the U.S.
“We’ve had over 140 different countries smuggled into Yuma sector alone this last fiscal year. Seventeen countries where special interests that have terrorist ties,” Wilmot said.
The sheriff said he has seen migrants with documentation from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, along with many from South American countries.
“So the majority of what we’re seeing here is Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Nicaragua, India, Chile, Peru, Uzbekistan — those are the top major countries that are coming through right now. It’s not Mexico. This is from other countries, and those are all Title 8 countries where those countries won’t take them back,” Wilmot said.
Just in the past year, there have been several incidents of potential terrorists caught at the border. At the end of December 2021, a man with “potential terrorist” ties and connections to “Yemeni subjects of interest,” was caught in Yuma, KSAZ-TV reported. In the spring of 2021, two Yemeni men who were on a terror watchlist were arrested at the border, as Reuters reported.
Though these potential terrorists were caught, Wilmot estimated that for every one apprehension at the border, there are about three or more who are not caught. These are dangerous statistics in light of the fact that some with possible terrorist ties are coming across the border.
Border Patrol unfortunately simply cannot deal with many of these issues since they do not have the manpower they need.
Wilmot pointed out that much of this goes back to federal government officials not doing their job or giving Border Patrol the necessary resources.
Mayorkas has said he will take care of things on the border, but Wilmot said that he is not listening to the border sheriffs and is hamstringing Border Patrol.
“We gave Mayorkas a 16-point plan of success when he first was appointed. All the border sheriffs sat down with him in Texas and gave him that plan. What’s concerning to us is, last time we talked to him, which was I believe within the last month, he forgot he even had that plan, never even looked at it,” Wilmot said. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He doesn’t have a plan. They say they do. But obviously, whatever plan that he has, if it’s for border insecurity, he’s excelling.”
As the border crisis affects not just border states, but the entire country, Wilmot is urging officials to take action and give law enforcement what they need. And he urged citizens to push their representatives and senators to rise to the challenge.
“We need everybody — if you want to help us on the border and secure our border — we need you to get on the phone, share this information with your constituents and just light up the phone lines in Washington, D.C.,” Wilmot said. “Tell them to quit their political rhetoric and get politics out of public safety. Do their job.”
It’s Trader Joe and the Jewish/Hispanic Mayorkas, playing their roles to destroy the White majority, oh well.
The Jewish controlled media, basically doesn’t mention illegal aliens crossing the southern border anymore. If they were White Christian Canadians, they’d demand the Army hunt them down.
Most White people won’t say anything in social media about illegal immigration, they know they’ll get canceled cultured.
An amazing, deranged accomplishment, destroy a powerful White country with no bombs; instead use massive immigration and accusations of racism.
Moslems and Africans, not even Mexicans, because the Kalergi plan is applied to North America just as much as Europe.

Look at your society & deny it.
Perhaps it will one day dawn on this sheriff that this is an orchestrated event and everything is going according to plan…
Even his narrative makes no sense, surely he must realize Latin American peasants would struggle to find $200 …..$20.000 a pipe dream (quite literally)… so outside of being drug mules.. who is giving them the cash?
HINT: the same miscreants supplying their European counterparts mastercards and mobile phones…
If this sheriff wants real answers, he should go and arrest the imbeciles at the ADL and particularly the SPLC who seem to have been following white erasure quite enthusiastically (helping it along as best they can)…
Immigants have been used by the money powers to unseat cultures for thousands of years… this is why so much of the middle east and north africa is mixed race… the same could be said for the subcontinent..
The end of amerika? LOL. Let’s hope so.
All whites were also immigrants so what the …. are you talking about. Drugs are in demand mostly by Whitie. Also, most whites from the USA are mixed with African blood except you look white now. Get real bitches. Half of the USA was once Mexico. So if you don´t like it go back to …… Europe or wherever the …. you came from. Soon the Chinese will take over and what will you do??? or Maybe Russia. A lot of you whities are in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. What the xxxx is the Caucasian race? If you are in the Americas you are of mixed race so trace down your roots. We are all the same race because we came from Africa!!! We are all from planet earth so there should be no borders. Get real!!
!
When the Chinese come you’ll find what racism is really all about.
Is midden still ignoring the border? What are the americans thinking will happen with the detritus of all nations entering their country? Are they really doing nothing? If these people were russian soldiers they’d be wetting their pants – but russian soldiers wouldn’t rape their children and murder their family. It’s mind boggling really. Either all of this is a lie, or america has gone nuts.
@ doris
“What the xxxx is the Caucasian race? If you are in the Americas you are of mixed race so trace down your roots. We are all the same race because we came from Africa”
It isn’t about skin color. America has its own culture and history. If you import millions of other people from other cultures and histories then you end up with the kind of shit hole that the uk is. Endless people from different cultures and ways of thinking, none of who like each other, and none of who will ever like each other. Mosques next to churches next to synagoues and god knows what else. If I was lucky enough to be an american then I’d want to protect what america is, and not let it become a cess pit of “multiculturism”. And have you forgotten that the thing that you seem to admire, that “multicultural” bullshit, is what the uk is, and that same uk is the country that is destroying all your home countries? Or are you only concerned with yourself? Looking to get yourself a nice life, no matter the cost to everyone else? Because the america you’re trying to enter won’t exist once you enter it, it will have become the uk, that place that no sane person wants to be.
Hmmm.. 60 years ago when I joined the Army, I was taught, that you always repel an invasion, with superior fire power …
YES AMERICANS NOW YOU GET
HAITIAN AMBIENTE : DRUGS;
TONTONMACUT SKILLED MURDERERS !
you never dereamed of your gangstarappers.
@Doris Israelites (Europeans) were never in Africa! Lucy is a proven fraud. Out of Africa is more BS from the Well poisoners. Whitey has invented everything! Coudenhove Kalergi plan is what this is. Rapes have got through the roof wherever these 3rd World mudsharks have entered? (On boys too) uncivilized savages that would be put to better use melting into new car tyres.
ADL IS A CRIMINAL ORGANISATION
FROM BEGINNING OF KOSHER NOSTRA !
@ DORIS
MY ANCESTORS CAME FROM
INDIA ! WE WERE INDOARIANS !
and they gave us europeans all their
mathematics, sciences, astronomy,
philosophy we then further developed
to enrich whole humanity but i see it
was no good for humanity !
SO BACK TO THE DRUGJUNGLE !
IF i as european would not be in the
same situation like the americans i
realy could enjoy the stupid pentagon
(or not stupid jew pentagon) searching
in whole world for reasons of war and
forgetting their own homebackjard .
and remember all them come without
any embasy aprooved visas or avidavid
with apostille of noncriminality by haitian
(corrupt anyway) authority:
The primary function and duty of government is to protect the borders of the country. Of course, the federal “government” has no legitimacy left and is nothing but a criminal cartel at this point. What is going on at the southern border is nothing short of an invasion and those mongrel scum should be machine-gunned down the second one foot crosses the border illegally.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is a subversive Jew and a disgusting f*cking traitor, deserving of being thrown into the street, dragged around by his ankles, vigorously horse-whipped, rolled in pig shit, and hanged. What a disgrace. F*ck Ukraine, protect OUR border.
@MrReynard Looks like you were misinformed.
The use of the word “nigger” should be forbidden here, Mr. Stewart.
That said, I say to Doris that America was built primarily by people of European ancestry. This is why we speak English, not Chinese or Swahili. So this isn’t about where people came from…you have a European-derived culture here that will definitely be undermined and frayed by uncontrolled immigration. And THAT is exactly why this is being done. Those who are in positions of power who do nothing about this, whether at the Federal level (the most culpable) or state level (possibly just putting on a charade insofar as their actual concern about this), are potentially traitors. Biden and Mayorkas definitely are…they stand for globalism, not the United States. This is just another face of globalism…along with vaccines, a lying media, “free trade,” etc.
(a) This is being orchestrated at a high level by globalists who apparently use George Soros as their point man…globalists are latter-day communists–traitors to the nation (whichever nation they occupy);
(b) Drug cartels are run by the U.S. CIA, which profits from illegal drugs and probably also uses the cartels to target uncooperative national leaders in Mexico and other host countries.
Almost certainly this invasion is being coordinated and facilitated by the CIA.
Finally, those of you who wish evil upon America…you have the same problem as we do, i.e., a traitorous national government, a lying Jew-owned media, etc. Direct your evil wishes to your own band of miscreants…we have no more control over ours than you do over yours! I’ve said before and I say here again:
We either hang together or we hang separately! Stop with the racist remarks and put-downs of America…this is contributing to division amongst us…just what the “elites” want.
Take the bird feeders down and the invasion will reverse in days.

Without “government”, none of this would be happening, and neither would zog’s imaginary “covid” plague.
We need rope and lamp posts NOW.
Whites are not from Africa but the Central Africans are. Humans are at least four different species. The official view is only there to bring Whites down to the African level.
THE inventors of multiculti and only
mainly racist + superiority conceived
are the jews + israelis + would not allow
multiculti in israel as they push here in
the white lands . even their music they
create are poor imitations of easteuropean
folkmusic and their kletzmer is only fake
jazz . an black american blues has more
authenticity . jews in general are faker !
and their abstract (modern) arts are
just ugly + disharmonic , lacking all
poesy . even arabic artesans are exeptionel.
