An Arizona rancher whose remote property sits on the very end of the incomplete southern border wall tells Fox News Digital that he’s encountered thousands of illegals making their way into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration and has concerns that many of them appear to have ties to cartels or have come from the Middle East.

He is calling out Vice President Harris’ tenure as President Biden’s point person on immigration after he says cameras show hundreds of illegals slipping around the end of the border wall and into the U.S. on a daily basis.

“She is the border czar, she’s always been the border czar, and she’s been a total failure at preventing people from coming into our country,” said Jim Chilton, an Arizona rancher whose 50,000-acre property includes the incomplete end of former President Trump’s border wall.

“For the last six months, we’ve been averaging about 100 people a day coming from Mexico around the end of the wall,” he told Fox News Digital. And those are the ones who aren’t hiding. Others, escorted by cartel smugglers, wear camouflage and carpet shoes and try to avoid detection, he said.

“We’ve not seen a decrease in them either,” he said. “On Saturday, I ran into a group of about a dozen. They appeared to be from the Middle East, and they were in bad shape.”

“Vice President Harris, you have not secured the border. I’ve heard you say it was secure. It’s not secure. And we need to secure the border at the international border. We’re a sovereign country.”

— Jim Chilton, Arizona border rancher

Chilton has five motion-activated cameras spread out over his ranch – just one for every 10,000 acres.

“Since Biden was elected and took office, I’ve had 3,550 people imaged on my motion-activated cameras,” he said.

ILLEGALS CHARGED WITH MURDER, RAPE, KIDNAPPING IN WEEK OF SHOCKING CRIMES ACROSS US

While Harris and her supporters have distanced herself from the crisis at the border and rejected the label “border czar,” the House of Representatives officially rebuked her last week.

“We’ve become a dumping ground for the world, and we’re not going to take it anymore.”

Trump, speaking at a campaign rally last Wednesday, called her “the architect of the border invasion” and blamed the current administration for record illegal immigration, pointing to a chart that showed historic lows at the end of his presidency – and an all-time high this past March under Biden and Harris.

“She inherited the best border in U.S. history and turned it into the worst border in the world,” he said, adding that the current administration halted border wall construction, defended sanctuary city policies and put an end to his “remain in Mexico” policy.

Trump cited a recent Homeland Security warning about the Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua, targeting police for assassination, as well as a number of high-profile crimes against women and girls around the country, including the recent slaying of Houston 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was sexually assaulted, strangled and thrown off a bridge. Police arrested two illegals from Venezuela in connection with the murder.

“If I am elected, on day 1 we will begin the largest deportation in the world,” Trump said.

For relatives of victims like Jocelyn and for everyday citizens like Chilton, evidence of the border failure is a part of daily life.

Chilton noted that it can take more than 45 minutes to an hour for deputies to respond to his remote property in an emergency.

“We have to defend ourselves the way my ancestors had to defend themselves because we have no real law enforcement,” he said. “And I am outraged. I have five and a half miles of the international border, and Trump’s wall came out five miles. The end of the wall is on my ranch.”

Now, he said, “cartel scouts” prowl the mountains, guiding people in to avoid detection. They could be bringing in terrorists and criminals, he said.

Separately, “economic immigrants” are also arriving in droves, but they don’t try to hide, he said. They come into the U.S. around the end of the wall and hope to run into Border Patrol on purpose.

“The economic immigrants wanting to be apprehended are from all over the world,” Chilton said. “I think the dozen that I ran into last Saturday were from the Middle East. They looked Syrian to me … all over the world lots of people from Africa, Bangladesh, India. It’s just unbelievable.”

Man found guilty of sex trafficking victim along L.A.’s Figueroa Corridor

Man found guilty of sex trafficking victim along L.A.’s Figueroa Corridor

A former Riverside County man was found guilty of sex trafficking a female victim and forcing her to engage in commercial sex acts along L.A.’s notorious Figueroa Corridor.

Elias Abdul Shabazz, 34, formerly of Perris, was found guilty by a jury following a five-day trial, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Prosecutors said Shabazz had led the victim to believe they were in a romantic relationship before he turned physically and sexually violent. He began demanding that the victim engage in commercial sex acts from May to October of 2021, court documents said.

He carried a handgun with him and, on occasion, was accused of using it to pistol-whip the victim. He also fired the gun at her feet while threatening to kill her, prosecutors said.

At trial, the victim said Shabazz demanded that she meet a daily quota of commercial sex proceeds and that she was terrified of the consequences of not meeting that quota. 

She testified that Shabazz compelled her to work in the notorious Figueroa Corridor in South L.A., a dangerous area known for human trafficking and prostitution.

Shabazz had confiscated her identification card, Social Security card and birth certificate. He constantly monitored her cell phone to stop her from communicating with any friends or family.

“He also introduced her to addictive narcotics and controlled every aspect of her life, including when she ate, slept and showered,” prosecutors said.

In May 2025, Shabazz was arrested and has remained in federal custody. His last known address at the time was in Washington, D.C.

On June 26, 2026, Shabazz was found guilty of one count of coercing or enticing interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 6, where he faces 15 years to life in prison.

“Sex trafficking matters rank among the most tragic cases our office prosecutes,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “This defendant will now face many years in a federal prison cell for his sick, disgusting, and disturbing behavior.”

“Elias Shabazz preyed on a vulnerable victim using physical and sexual violence and cruel psychological coercion to compel commercial sex acts for his own profit,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “There is no place for this type of conduct in civilized society. We deeply respect the victim’s courage to face her trafficker in court. The Criminal Division will continue to bring these cases and try them.”
