Rise in Illegal Immigration Overwhelms Local Police

JULY 01, 2013
 

While the Obama administration insists that illegal border crossings are at the lowest level in decades, local law enforcement agencies in municipalities near the Mexican border remain overwhelmed with the impact that illegal immigration continues to have on their force.

Not that we necessarily believe the administration’s seemingly distorted claims that the border is “as secure as it has ever been.” In fact, a new federal audit reveals that we really have no way of knowing this because the government’s statistics are incomplete. Why? Because the method used to measure border security efforts doesn’t compare the number of illegal aliens estimated to have entered the U.S. to those apprehended. 

More on that later; let’s look at an example of a local police agency that’s been heavily burdened by the impact of an illegal immigration surge in its community. It’s located in Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. The area has long been a war zone that’s seen violent gunfire battles between Mexican drug cartels and human smugglers making their way north.

That was five years ago.  I would imagine today with courts being involved where they shouldn't be, protestors, sanctuary this and that, etc., the pressures must be much, much worse.
