They Live and Work on the Border. Here’s What’s Changed Since Trump’s Return; One Texas Jail Tells the Story of America’s Illegal Immigration Crisis

They Live and Work on the Border. Here’s What’s Changed Since Trump’s Return:

It’s “beautiful” to see more Border Patrol agents back on the southern border since President Donald Trump entered the White House, Efrain Sella said.

Sella spent 25 years with the Border Patrol before retiring in 2019. Speaking with The Daily Signal at the Big Bend Area Law Enforcement Officers Association’s March meeting, he said that “things are changing quick” at the border under the Trump administration.

“Now, we’re controlling the border,” Sella said. “We don’t have the gate open anymore. The door [is] not open to come in, like under President [Joe] Biden. So, now, with President Trump, there’s more resources coming in.”

Trump has reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires illegal aliens to wait in Mexico for an asylum hearing, ended “catch and release,” launched a mass-deportation effort focused on the arrest and removal of criminal illegal aliens, designated some criminal cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and taken a slew of other pro-border security measures.

“The fact that President Trump put the [cartels] on a terrorist organization

now, it’s a huge factor,” James Frietze, who spent 25 years serving in the New Mexico State Police before retiring in 2019, told The Daily Signal.

“So, now, you have availability of that access to military personnel and/or intelligence equipment,” Frietze explained.

Standing on his ranch that borders Mexico in Luna County, New Mexico, Russell Johnson told The Daily Signal that he started seeing Border Patrol agents back on the border just one day after Trump took office. —>READ MORE HERE

One Texas Jail Tells the Story of America’s Illegal Immigration Crisis:

Mexican cartel members are “running scared” and fearful of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, according to the sheriff of Tarrant County, Texas.

Like many local law enforcement officials, Sheriff Bill Waybourn has witnessed the sharp spike in illegal immigration over the past four years. He welcomed the increased enforcement from the federal government.

The Tarrant County jail currently holds over 300 illegal aliens suspected of criminal activity.

“They represent 22 different countries,” Waybourn said recently at a Heritage Foundation event in Dallas. “Some of them are going to be known terrorists, some of them are going to be known cartel soldiers, and the like.”

Among the illegal immigrants being held in Tarrant County: 12 for allegedly committing murder and nearly 50 for allegedly committing sexual assault of a child, according to Waybourn, who has served as Tarrant County’s sheriff since 2016.

When asked how the United States and Mexico can better manage cartel activity, the sheriff said it would require interior strikes in Mexico to neutralize the cartels.

“We know where they’re at. We can paint those targets, and we can eliminate them as a threat to our country,” Waybourn explained.

Americans are not only interested in arresting and deporting violent illegal aliens but have also shown support for reducing all illegal immigration and escalating deportations.

According to a February Pew Research poll, 59% of Americans approve of Trump’s increased efforts to deport illegal immigrants, including 35% who strongly approve. A majority (58%) also approve sending more U.S. troops to the border. —>READ MORE HERE
