text: rancher yearns for trump wall on usmexico border afp october   
  to many donald trumps pledge to build a wall along the usmexico border is unrealistic but for jim chilton its the only way hell get a good nights sleep 
  the yearold a fifthgeneration rancher on the arizona border with mexico says he has grown weary of seeing drug smugglersrather than just cattleon his ranch and a wall is the answer to his troubles 
  i really admire trump for having the insight and the knowledge to know whats wrong with the current border system he said as he surveyed the sprawling desert plains of his squaremile ranch that stretches to the mexican border 
  we need a wall ive been saying that for  years    and we need roads along the boundary and the border patrol to be deployed there and not let anybody in he added it would make my life so much better and id feel more secure

  chilton who admits that trump was not his first choice among the republican candidates for the white house says building a barrier to secure the mile kilometer usmexico frontier not only makes sense but is also a question of national security

  i live in a nomans land i live in a land that is occupied by the sinaloa drug cartel he sighed pointing to mountains on his ranch where he said scouts equipped with sophisticated equipment are posted as lookouts for smugglers 
  i have seen cartel scouts on these two mountains before    and even in my front yard he said i wave at them and they often yell hola and wave back 
  chiltonwho keeps a gun holstered on his hip a rifle by his front door and a pistol by his bedsideadded that he and other ranchers are also in favor of beefed up security in remote border areas as extremist groups like islamic state is may be using them to slip operatives into the united states

  but beyond the drug cartels and threat of terrorism chilton insists that trumps wall is all the more necessary for humanitarian reasons 
  its just outrageous for me to find a dead body on my ranch its outrageous for the border patrol to find a dead body and its outrageous for my cowboys he said referring to migrants who often die making the crossing into the us through the brutal desert 
  this is as big a humanitarian issue as it is a national security issue

  according to the us border patrol nearly  bodies have been recovered since  from the desert in the tucson arizona sector which covers  miles of the border
