"I think it's a diversionary tactic that the cartels have," said Jim Chilton, who owns Chilton Ranch along the southern border. "The cartel directs [migrants] to where they should go, and one of the reasons the cartel switches locations is to cause Border Patrol to have to go to those locations and process people."
