Most every rancher and farmer has earned a fortune off the labor of the Mexican immigrants who cross the border and work on their property for peanuts.

Politically, its run by civil service employees and the military, at Ft Huachuca and in neighboring Sierra Vista, where more than half of the population lives, including the ignorant white bigots who elect these people. There's a Mormon community in the northern part of the county that's just large enough to tip the vote in favor of the white bigots, and they once controlled the sheriff's office, though I believe this current sheriff, Dannels, is a conservative Evangelical bigot.
