Biden's open borders impact local law enforcment
Amid an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the United States, the sheriff of one Texas county bordering Mexico told CNN his officers are struggling to keep up with both the immigration issues and local matters.
“It’s a lot. On the law enforcement side, we’re suffering because we don’t have the manpower to take care of what we call the local business, criminal elements, and then the immigration problem,” Maverick County, Texas, Sheriff Tom Schmerber said in a Sunday interview. “So, it’s costing us a lot of manpower.”
Schmerber said he’s repeatedly had to reassign officers from local duties after receiving calls for assistance from US Customs and Border Protection. That aid includes escorting buses with migrants who have been apprehended and are being transported for immigration processing.
“So I’m having two units, two vehicles with my deputies, escorting those buses,” the sheriff said. “That’s minus two.”
“But we have to do it, and we do it for the security of the people and of course the agents and the drivers of the buses,” he added.
His remarks come as the surge in border crossings has stretched a number of already overwhelmed US agencies.
Border officials say the spike is being driven by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies and organized transportation networks that are advertising travel to the southern US border but ultimately are connecting migrants to smugglers. Those smugglers are facilitating the illegal crossings of up to 1,000 people at a time, a border official told CNN earlier this month.

This is mainly a result of Biden stopping Trump border policies that were working to slow illegal immigration. Instead, Biden decided to facilitate illegal immigration which is apparently a part of a Democrat goal of importing new potential voters as they try to rebuild a majority since Americans are not voting for Dems in sufficient numbers for them to get a stranglehold on government.
