A Texas sheriff told members of Congress his county is "under siege" by illegal aliens and smugglers going through the county, trying to get to destinations within the United States.

Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe testified before the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security at a field hearing on border security held in Pharr, Texas, last Wednesday.

Coe said his deputies apprehended 741 human smugglers last year and filed over 3,000 felony cases against the smugglers.

And this is only one county. The entire southern border is under siege.

Sitting administration doesn't care. Everybody talks about 'fixing it'... but won't enforce the laws already in place that would make a helluva big difference.

Start arresting politicians that don’t do their part to enforce existing immigration law. A 10 year minimum prison sentence. Until that happens our borders are wide open.

CBP agents couldn't do that as they were busy playing front desk clerks for the 200,000 illegals who are checking in every month.

Put our military on the border! It would be a great exercise for them, and help justify the expense of maintaining a military.

We go all over the world helping others maintain their borders, but.................

Exactly! But this administration wants them here so they aren't going to do that. It should have been done several administrations ago to.

Excellent proposal!!

You know what is going to happen at some point if it has not already begun. Good law enforcement people are going to resign and look for more satisfying jobs that respect and reward their work. I guess the government will replace those people with illegals who have attained amnesty, though, so no big loss to our politicians.

Exactly what I have been saying for some years now. We are at war, and we have to start using deadly force.
