Picked up his car
Ainsley 7008 on the EAST Coast,
Mayorkas issuing a warning to
the migrants during his trip to
Del Rio, Texas.
If you come to the United
States illegally, you will be
returned.
Your journey will not succeed
and you will be in endangering
your life and your familys
lives.
Brian now, six hundred additional DHS
personnel arriving in Texas to
assist crowds of migrants
camping under that bridge,
even as more flood into the
southern border town.
They are not listening to him
because he is saying it to us
not to the people. Come here,
Steve Fox, AMP, friends,
enterprise reporter is actually live at the scene right now with
live at the scene right now with
the Texas rancher by the name of
Lawrence
Lawrence, they are not
listening.
We talked to the migrants
yesterday, they are upset because
the Biden administration
officially said they could come
anyway, Laura Allen. Here, a
former Texas County judge
lets talk about how Texas DHS
are the ones securing Texas and
enforcing laws on your land.
Absolutely
the governor gave us the ability
to have Texas prosecute
trespassing on our property,
and in our case you know we do
ranch,
we own a large piece of property
here.
Just a couple days ago, we had twenty three
illegals come through our
property.
These were mexican citizens
and we actually intervened and
had them taken from border
patrol handed other to D
is for prosecution.
They are being processed for
criminal trespassing,
and so that has enabled a lot of
the landowners here to have
another mechanism, while border
patrol is busy here at the
bridge, dealing with what they
have to deal with, Dps has
stepped
in and been able to do something
out in the area that border
patrol is not able to get to
Lawrence. Dps has already cited
about one thousand folks that have been
on Texas Property
talk about the morale here in
the state of Texas.
I was tell our anchors in New
York that even every Democrat in
town is upset with the Biden
Administration for what theyre
doing here in Texas.
Well, I can tell new our
county alone. We have a
democratic county judge. We have
a democratic sheriff. We have a
democratic mayor were eighty five percent
hispanic.
We have always been a blue
county,
our county went red in the last
election
and all of our elected
officials. I think at this
point are just pretty much fed
up.
They are fed up.
They are tired.
We have dealt with more than we
should ever have to deal with. We
have seen more than we should
ever have to see
and without Washingtons help.
This has been just an
insurmountable obstacle to us.
Lawrence talk about
the sheriff had a special
message for the men and women
out here and the support that
they need.
You know absolutely.
I spoke to our sheriff last
night and he asked me to convey
a message specifically to our
citizens but left of center to
everyone in our state and all of
the viewers with all of the
division that we currently have
going on, and the scrutiny of law
enforcement. Our community has
come together and really
supported law enforcement, not
only the sheriffs Department
but Border Patrol Texas, dps
everyone thats out here,
and the sheriff asked me to
please share on his behalf,
because he is not able that he
is beyond proud of our community
and our citizens,
and he is very, very, very
thankful for the support that we
have gotten
Lawrence Laura Allen. Thank you
so much
twice, I cant state it enough.
When the federal government has
let the people of Texas down
it has been the Texas State
troopers,
it has been the sheriffs. It has
been the mayors in the local
towns that have stepped up to
the plate.
This is the border.
This is the Rio Grand right
behind me
right in front of me. The reason
why illegals arent coming
across this border, because right
in front of me, there is an armor
of state troopers that are
guarding what the federal
government should be doing,
guys
im going to send it back to you
guys in New York,
Steve Lawrence, great reporting
down there. Thank you very much.
It is a national security
crisis
that is, according to twenty six
republican governors, led by Greg,
Abbott and Governor Ducey of
Arizona.
They are calling they have
written a letter to have the
president.
They want a meeting with him to
discuss what is going on on the
southern border within the next.
