Texas Mayor: Immigration In 2018 And 2019 Was A ‘Cakewalk’ Compared To Crisis Now
March 17, 2021 By Tristan Justice
Uvalde, Texas Mayor Don McLaughlin Jr., who leads a town in south Texas, sounded the alarm on Fox News Wednesday about the rapidly escalating border crisis triggered by the election of President Joe Biden.
“In Uvalde, Texas, we’re averaging 10 to 12 car chases a week. We never saw that before,†McLaughlin said. “This is something we’re seeing every day. Our local ranchers are having their fences cut, their houses are being broken into, they’re trying to steal their cars. It’s just gotten crazy.â€
McLaughlin said migrants from 49 different countries have crossed the border in his town’s region, citing numbers he received from U.S. Customs and Broder Protection (CBP). The border agency did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s request for confirmation.
“We need to go back and shut this border back down,†McLaughlin said, as he highlighted the havoc Biden’s border crisis has brought to his Texas town. “We’re still in the middle of a pandemic, and these people are still coming across … Most of [our residents], are afraid now at night what’s going on when the dogs start barking and whatever, because the foot traffic has increased.â€
One woman, McLaughlin said, has seen intruders attempt to break into her house twice.
