Illegal Immigrants Intentionally Damaging Property, Says Texas Sheriff

Contact Your Elected Officials

KINNEY COUNTY, Texasโ€”This yearโ€™s illegal immigrants are unlike those from previous years, according to Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe, who was also a Border Patrol agent for 31 years.

โ€œWeโ€™re starting to see more intentional damage,โ€ Coe told The Epoch Times. โ€œIโ€™ve never seen it quite like this. Somebodyโ€™s making a statement.โ€

He said in the past six months, illegal aliens that get past Border Patrol in the Del Rio, Texas, area are walking through ranches, destroying fences and water pipes, leaving water faucets on, and breaking into homes.

โ€œWeโ€™ve always had a fence cut here, fence cut there, because theyโ€™re hauling dope or small kids or something,โ€ he said. โ€œBut weโ€™ve never seen the intentional big four-by-four holes in the fence, or now, a 10-foot section just cut completely out. Thatโ€™s really starting to bother me.โ€

The cost of replacing a mile of fencing can be up to $30,000, several ranchers told The Epoch Times.

โ€œItโ€™s all just out of spite, I think,โ€  Coe said.

In May, Border Patrol detected 51,000 illegal immigrants that slipped past them along the U.Sโ€“Mexico border. In the same month, apprehensions hit a 21-year monthly high, with the agency arresting 180,034 illegal border-crossers.

The majority of the illegal immigrants eluding Border Patrol and walking through the ranches, or being smuggled in vehicles, are young males traveling in groups, according to local sheriffs and Border Patrol agents.

Many ranchers and homeowners are now having to constantly carry a firearm while on their property, and Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco said the illegal immigrants now are more aggressive.

A resident told Nolasco that he had to hold an illegal alien at gunpoint, but the man still wasnโ€™t backing down.

โ€œAnd [the resident] finally had to cock the hammer back and say, โ€˜Hey, you take a step further, then things are gonna change here,’โ€ Nolasco said. โ€œThatโ€™s the last thing I want to hearโ€”that we have a shooting, [that] we have somebody that had to kill somebody โ€ฆ I hope it never happens.โ€
