Delaware 105.9's Dan Gaffney traveled to Washington D.C. to broadcast his show LIVE from Capitol Hill for "Hold Their Feet to the Fire," an immigration reform movement aimed at holding U.S. lawmakers responsible for illegal immigration.

Appearing on the Dan Gaffney Show was, Art Del Cueto, President of the Tucson Sector Border Patrol Agency in Arizona. Del Cueto provided a first-hand perspective on illegal immigration, as his sector in Arizona is responsible for over "50-percent of all drug seizures in the country."

"You're looking at drug cartels, you're looking at illegal immigration. You see a couple of individuals crossing the border, usually some of the media likes to throw the 'mom & pop situation' people trying to get a better life for themselves, but it is far from that," said Del Cueto. "The biggest group that I caught once I started working for the agency was a group eighty people, my first day out there by myself, eighty people."

Dan Gaffney asked Del Cueto what were the eighty people doing, was it the 'better life' narrative? Del Cueto said "you don't know" what their intentions are and therein lies the problem.

"You don't know, and that's where the problem is. They're already coming in illegally, they're trying to not be detected and I think that's a huge deal. So you don't know what these people are up to, and that's what a lot of people don't understand," Del Cueto explained. "Now as we move forward, we've seen is a lot more aggressiveness. I've been in situations where I've been shot at. I've been 'rocked,' which is where they use the big forty-ouncers of beer, and what they'll do is fill them with dirt and mud, so they'll pack them, and it's like a block of cement that is getting thrown at you. Not to mention the drugs."

Dan Gaffney asked Del Cueto what drugs specifically are being trafficked across the border, and if agents ever find documentation on the immigrant hopefuls? "You're looking at everything, anything you can think of. You're looking at marijuana, which is primarily what comes through that area, but I know at the checkpoints they've detected cocaine, heroin, and they're not staying in Arizona, this is something that is coming into the country," Del Cueto explained. "We catch false documents all of the time, especially with Central Americans. You catch a lot of Central Americans with false documents claiming that they're citizen of Mexico. I think it's two-fold, one they believe it's easier, once you apprehend if you send them back, to send them to Mexico that way they can make the trek back in, as opposed to going all the way back to Central America and having to make the trek back."

"We would turn them over to ICE and they'd give them a piece of paper, and let's use Delaware as an example, and ICE would say 'when you get to Delaware, find the nearest immigration court, and tell them about your case,'" said Del Cueto. "Well, I think it was somewhere around 1-percent that would show up, but the other 99-percent would never show up and I'm not sure that there is an actual list or a way to find out where these individuals are now."
