TX Sheriff Warns: 'Our Funds are Going to be Depleted'

Brooks County, TX Sheriff Urbino Martinez said that his officers receive distress calls from illegal immigrants crossing the border daily, and warned that his county’s funds will be depleted in an appearance on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News Channel. Martinez characterized calls for help from dehydrated or exhausted illegals as “pretty regular calls” that they receive “on a daily basis.”

He added that if the border is not secured, his office will run out of resources. “It has to be resolved. As long as they keep stalling it, this is going to continue. And it’s going to continue to where our funds are going to be depleted.”
