An Indian reservation along one of the most perilous sections of the Mexican border won’t allow National Guard troops to enter its land, which is a notorious smuggling corridor determined by the U.S. government to be a “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).” Sources inside the U.S. Border Patrol and other law enforcement agencies working along the Arizona-Mexico border tell Judicial Watch that the tribe, Tohono O’odham Nation, has banned National Guard troops deployed by President Donald Trump to help crack down on a crisis of drug smuggling and illegal crossings along the 2,000-mile southern border. “They told us they don’t want white man on their land,” said a high-level federal official working in the region. “The agency, of course, is going to cater to that.” More

Indian sovereignty was idiotic.
“They told us they don’t want white man on their land,”
That works 2 ways “kemosabe”.
Just build the wall around them and cede it to Mexico.
Cage the animals in.
They want to be their own nation then so be it. If they try to leave the reservation, stop them at the “border” and turn them back.
I’m just getting tired of everyone getting what they want and the US getting screwed.
Ef Syria, bomb the reservation… only half sarc.
Put the border up and around their land and allow NO travel in or out…FUKEM!!!
How much ground have they got? Just build the wall around them and let Mexico have them.
“No white nan in their land,”????? Ok. Send in all the black national guardsmen.
Perhaps their aware of what trusting the white peoples government has done for the American Indian in the past. In some ways you can’t blame them for being cautious about Washington’s true objectives and plans.
No white men allowed on Indian land?
Indian Casinos hardest hit…
So who’s being paid, by which cartel and how much they being paid…
Kinda like the No Fans Left League trying to improve relations and fan participation…
Give them some infected blankets
Does this post make me a racist? Never mind, I’m white, therefore yes.

That is SOOOOOOOOO racist! Since the second Columbian federation, The Party has been lying to, stealing from, and gleefully killing the “white” man, just like the “red” man. The only difference is that Columbia golf clapped for the “white” men killing their “red” men, but not the other way. Meh, kayfabe.
Hey LocoBlancoSaltine – if no white men allowed and casinos hit hard, maybe they are getting more money from the cartels? Just a thought.
Most of you guys beat me to the best solutions. But if those ideas aren’t practical…armed drones above their land. They must be paid well by the drug runners and coyotes. I’m tired of the $h*t. And, yes, no more gov handouts.
I don’t get it. Why are we allowing the Indians to threaten us? What are they going to do, declare war again? Didn’t work out so well 140 years ago.
Time to form an all-Indian Arizona National Guard unit to patrol that territory, then. They want to be a sovereign nation opposed to our laws, so treat them like one: cut off all commercial trade between the U.S. and the reservation. Let them get their food and firewater from Mexico. Issue passports and implement travel restrictions. Etcetera.
One final thought: I wonder if they are receiving any U.S. Government welfare money…
😉
Simple solution: take away the white man’s money.. use it to fund the wall instead. and what Vietvet said..
Treason against the US is so in vogue since Hillary’s actions.
They don’t like white man, but they sure do like our money. Simple solution.
Just take a ten (10) mile strip of land along the border…..
pat them….
and build the damn wall….
Imminent domain.
I guess the edit function didn’t work out….
“pay them….)
Bastards received at a minimum, 7.25mil in 2016. Took 1 minute to find that.
Joe 2.8 million acre’s

I read the article and went to the tribe’s web site to see the size and location of land. Larger than I first imagined.

.
Stop the food stamps, freeze any gambling revenues and any other government largesse. They do well enough from the kickbacks they’re getting from the smugglers anyway.
@Ed357: “Just take a ten (10) mile strip of land along the border…..”
Oh no, you can’t do THAT; it’s SACRED GROUND!!!!
Horse shit. Conquer them again if necessary. Prosecute the whole tribe for aiding and abetting drug smugglers. Kick them right in the sacred balls and get the wall built.
It’s called EXTORTION, Native American style.
The tribal lawyer calls it Quid, Pro, Quo.
Some tribes call it: CASINOS.
Build the wall up and around them, with NO gate in or out.
They’re getting a cut of the drug money. Build the fence on either side til they get so much of a stampede they get overwhelmed. Cut off their welfare. It’s 2018 FFS. They can go claim Mexico from the other side. Fuck em.
It’s 62 miles of border. The ‘nation’ itself (San Xavier not contiguous) comprises about 44K square miles +/-, with its headquarters where they do business with the white man up in Phoenix/Mesa, listed as Papago.
They can’t have it both ways. It’s a vulgar saying, but it’s time for them to either poop or get off the pot. Ceding to Mexico would not be a good deal for them. Considering the recalcitrance, it might not be a bad one for us.
They most likely have a deal worked out with the smugglers.
The Sioux tried that crap a few years back.
So when they had two feet of snow, the county plowed up to edge of the rez and turned around.
The tribe was on the phone “Hey our road isn’t plowed!”
The County advised them to buy a snow plow like all the other Nations do if it snows where they are.
Cut their electricity, and EBT cards, they will beat the drum and pretend they won and slink off
In 1972 the Marine Corps in conjunction with the Bureau of Customs operated an early warning radar site to interdict air smugglers on that reservation for about 3 months. I wonder what has changed.
funny thing … Mexicans hate Indians much more than the US ever did … look it up
And Indians HATE Mexicans far more than the White Man.
The biography of Geronimo made that abundantly clear.
At some point, smugglers have to leave the reservation on the US side, no?
Uh…who won in the fight over the North American continent?
Am I mistaken? Did the white man lose?
Damn this shit. Reduce their fuckin’ reservation to one acre and watch the red bastards scream.

Perry, you talk like a GD pussy. I don’t give a crap about what the white man’s government did 150 years ago. What is important is the here and now. Our America is in an existential fight with enemies like this Indian tribe and Mexico. Fight with us or get lost.
