Border Town of Del Rio Blames Biden for Flood of Illegal Immigrants
The Daily Signal ^ | 6/13/21 | Fred Lucas

Illegal immigrants have started fires on the Texas ranch and twice tried to break into the house where she and her husband live with three young daughters, Allison Anderson said.

In another incident, authorities’ pursuit of unlawful crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border came to a stop on her family’s property, she said.

“I was outside feeding our livestock with our daughters when the helicopter and high-speed chase ended on our property,” Anderson said during a town hall meeting June 4 at Grace Church in Del Rio, Texas. “We had to run back to our house. I had to get my pistol.”

“I’ve had people try to break into my house while I was home with a newborn twice, not just once, twice,” Anderson said, adding: “I’m tired of feeling unsafe on my own property.”

At the same town hall attended by several hundred area residents, another woman said that one of her relatives—a hotel housekeeper—was raped at work by an illegal immigrant.

In another incident, she said, the son of a co-worker was threatened at knifepoint by a group of illegal immigrants.

“I mean it when I say stop them from coming over here. Uncuff our agents,” the woman said, referring to Border Patrol agents. “Let them do their job. If they can’t do it for the federal government, let the state of Texas hire them and turn them loose.”

The woman didn’t give her name, but her impassioned speech prompted applause.

She and other speakers from the audience addressed a panel of immigration policy experts in a forum sponsored by the Border Security Coalition, a project of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Residents of the border town of Del Rio, the seat of Val Verde County, say it has been overwhelmed by the crisis at the southern border.

Same here in southern Arizona, an absolute invasion. These are not people seeking a better life. These are the dregs of their own societies. They are disease ridden bandits and thieves doing to this country what they couldn't even get away with in their own former ratholes.

Yet there are some bleeding hearts in some libtard controlled sanctuary city or state that keep telling us there isn't a problem. We're just racists.

It wasn’t Biden who certified the stolen election. The steal was provably bipartisan in nature. The good folks of Del Rio must understand that before they can fix this problem.

Back in 1981, while in pilot training at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, one morning as a couple of us were driving down 13R for the morning FOD check, we came across three illegals sleeping on the runway. They thought the runway was Hwy 90.

Del Rio is my old stomping ground. My father was stationed at LAFB.

Before the border was broken, a great place to learn to fly.

I’m sure you are aware, in Del Rio there was a girl behind every tree. . .but there were NO trees.

Oh, the stories that I could tell you. I grew up there at the right time. We owned property around the Cienegas, along the Rio Grande, and would only occasionally see wetbacks.

Got my dad in trouble for dating the Base Commander’s daughter.

This is not an isolated, local political issue. Biden is deliberately importing millions of illegals, and we are paying to have them put up in hotels, and flown to all 50 states. Every citizen who is a citizen will suffer from Biden’s corruption and agenda of civil destruction. This is worse than unsustainable. It is the use of these people as pawns to undermine and dominate the lives and future of all legal citizens and immigrants. This must end now!

Usually, the border counties go demonrat but Val Verde and several others voted for Trump.

This is just a return to the policy in place through four Presidents before Trump, the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

We still have many GOP Senators dangling amnesty as bait to entice them to come here.

I have a winter house in Arizona and whenever I go Jeeping down by the border I'm always armed. I can't believe this woman lives right by the border and goes about her day unarmed.

NO BORDER PROTECTION WALLS TORN DOWN
What are the effects? Conservative news sources better be reporting Criminal activity and costs to the locality caused by those who should be referenced as the INVADERS because the term “illegals” has been banned.THEN RAISE THE ISSUE IF AMERICANS WERE DOING THIS TO MEXICO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ?? ALSO POINT OUT THE 2ND CLASS TREATMENT AMERICANS GET IN MEXICO

I said before, this is like the Mariel boatlift, only on dry land. I’m sure their home governments are happy to get rid of the criminals and crazies.

I recall listening late at night on AM radio to Howling Wolf who was broadcasting from Del Rio TX and playing lots of RR and R&B music. That was in the 1950s and the powerful transmitter (exceeding US limits) was across the border in MX, so was capable of reaching far into the US.
