Martin Wall didn’t plan to have headlines written about him. He wanted to run cattle and enjoy the peace of his Texas land.
His peace didn’t last.
Wow. Stop what you’re doing and watch this man’s story.
This Texas rancher was living his lifelong dream of owning a ranch. When Biden was elected, his beloved ranch turned into a nightmare war zone.
Illegals robbed him, destroyed his property, committed violent crimes like… https://t.co/DtZPyqgcuz

Illegal immigrants, cartel scouts, and smugglers turned the quiet land into a highway for crime.
Fences were cut, livestock scattered, helicopters buzzed overhead.
His American dream got trampled, not by animals, but by policy.
Wall’s story isn’t unique. It’s just the latest proof that Washington’s border policy isn’t just broken. It’s backwards.
Under President Biden, border enforcement took a back seat to political image.
The administration rolled back the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy, halted border wall construction, and focused on processing migrants quickly instead of preventing illegal entry.
The result was over 7 million border encounters in just three years.
Folks like Wall were left to clean up the mess.
Every week, he found new evidence: bolt cutters, trash, and trails beaten down by foot traffic. Worse, the cartels used his land as a staging ground.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress the border was “secure.” If that was secure, it’s hard to imagine what chaos might look like.
Enter Trump – again. In 2025, he reinstalled serious border measures.
Apprehensions dropped by 78%. Cartel activity fell. Crossings declined so fast, it was almost like deterrence worked.
It’s been a win for ranchers, towns, and taxpayers. When the government enforces the law, families sleep easier and fences stay mended.
America welcomes legal immigrants every day. What we reject is a system that punishes those who follow the rules and rewards those who don’t.
This shouldn’t be partisan. Ranchers shouldn’t be collateral damage in someone’s reelection strategy.
America needs border policies rooted in reality, not wishful thinking.
We can have secure borders and a lawful immigration system. We’ve done it before.
Until we do, ranchers like Martin Wall will have to keep fixing the fences.
