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.
