SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - Ranchers along the U.S. border with Mexico say the Border Patrol doesn't do enough to protect them from smugglers and others cross the border illegally.
The ranchers criticized the Border Patrol at meeting hosted by a group of border sheriffs in Sierra Vista on Wednesday.
The ranchers say the government needs to stop immigrants before they cross the international boundary.
Peggy Davis and her family run a ranch 25 miles north of the border. She says her home has been burglarized on numerous occasions and that her family has had to clean up trash by the tons.
Paul Beeson, the commander for the Customs and Border Protection Joint Field Command in Arizona, said the CBP is committed to securing the border and has created three task forces to tackle safety issues.
