Desert Invasion - U.S.

Pictures of illegal alien layup point at Waddell Dam, 30 miles northwest of Phoenix


The following pictures were taken in June of 2004 at Waddell Dam recreation area, 30 miles northwest of Phoenix (see road map). The location is 200 feet north of Carefree Highway (Highway 74) and 2-3 miles west of Waddell Dam. This layup area is about 1,000' x 2,000' - about the size of an apartment complex.

It is possible but unlikely that coyotes (smugglers) led illegal aliens on foot to this layup spot from the Mexican border. More likely, coyotes drove illegal aliens here and left them to wait for further transportation to destination cities in the U.S. It is becoming more difficult for illegal aliens to remain invisible at drop houses because more and more American citizens are fed up with this activity and are reporting drop houses.


Garbage, clothing and human waste.
