Since the Biden Administration opened up America’s southern border on January 20, 2021 Americans have watched the sad spectacle of Biden’s guests drowning as they try to cross the Rio Grande River. But there is a much sadder scene taking place in Brooks County, Texas, 70 miles from the border.
1,000 TO 2,000 BODIES IN ONE SMALL TEXAS COUNTY SINCE BIDEN OPENED OUR SOUTHERN BORDER
From January 2022 through September 2022 locals recovered 79 bodies in this county of only 944-square miles, Sheriff Urbino “Benny” Martinez told The Epoch Times’ The Nation Speaks. In 2021 Brooks County officials recovered 119 bodies on ranch lands throughout the county. Compare this carnage to 2020 when only 34 bodies were recovered.
Martinez, a Democrat, estimates that for every body they find, ANOTHER 5 to 10 are never recovered. The population of the county is only 7,027. Think about THAT. By the end of Biden’s four years, Brooks County will, literally, have more bodies than breathing residents, ALL due to the administration’s plan to destroy our national sovereignty.
BIDEN IS HIDING THE BODY COUNT
The Biden administration has broken a long-standing policy of releasing the number of illegal immigrants who die while crossing into the United States, or soon after.
Before Biden took office Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published on its website the number of known migrant deaths along the southern border; therefore, the public has access to the figures from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2020.* Biden stopped that. Their website has no figures for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022, nor for FY2023.
CBP data show 247 illegal aliens died near the border during FY2020, while 300 died in FY2019. Some reports suggest the body count for FY2022, which ended September 30, 2022, is close to 800.
As this article goes to press, we are nearing the end of the fourth month of Fiscal Year 2023. And the bodies keep piling up** because the Biden Administration advertises that ALL are welcome. If you can get here, American taxpayers will take care of you.
“I MEAN, WHAT IS COMPASSIONATE ABOUT THAT?”
Sheriff Martinez believes once Biden’s guests have crossed the border from Mexico, too many become lost or injured while trekking through remote areas of the county. Many likely fall victim to the South Texas heat. The death rate has continued to climb under Biden’s lawlessness despite the fact that the county has set up water stations and emergency beacons across the county for Biden’s invitees who need help. The cost is bore by Texans since the federal government takes no responsibility.
Brooks County is 70 miles north of the border, has a population of only 7,027 and their sheriff’s office spends more than 85 percent of the its time on issues pertaining to illegal aliens. They search for illegals who have called 911 (using Biden-provided cell phones?) and are lost, dehydrated or injured as they walk on private ranchland in an attempt to skirt the nearby highway checkpoint that Border Patrol operates. Other times sheriff deputies are looking for a dead body. The total cost falls upon the shoulders of local taxpayers, including funeral expenses.
The busiest months are during summer, as most people die from a combination of dehydration and hyperthermia. Smugglers (coyotes) leave illegals behind if they’re slow or injured. Water is scarce and it’s easy to get lost. Biden doesn’t care as dead illegals are of no use to him.
Martinez, a Democrat, was elected in 2016. Here, he explains the county’s unique terrain:
“Our terrain is real sandy. We’re about 100 foot above sea level. So once that sand starts going over that body, and that body starts getting torn apart by the feral hog, by the coyote … the only time it’s recovered is when they’re moving cattle and they turn the soil over… [and] a skull would pop up, or something. Body parts would pop up. That’s how we’re going to find out that something laid there for a while. I mean, what is compassionate about that?”
“AVOIDABLE DEATHS:” COMPASSION FROM LOCALS, NONE FROM BIDEN NOR FEDERAL BUREAUCRATS
Brooks County Sheriff’s Deputy Don White volunteers his time to search for the injured and dead. Most often, he says, he finds males, aged 19 to 40, from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador. Only about 30 percent of the bodies have identification, as another illegal or a coyote has already stripped the dying & dead of their possessions, White says.
Illegal aliens trying to evade Border Patrol are known as “gotaways,” according to the sheriff. They’re the ones with criminal records or no way of gaining legal entry into the United States. Border agents are recording at least 40,000 gotaways each month along the southwest border since January 2021, according to data obtained by The Epoch Times.
“These people have records; they have criminal records,” Martinez said. “We have our own criminals here, we don’t need to add to that. So the fact is, we need to know who they are. And they [federal government] just don’t want to do that. They just want to let everyone in. We can’t do that.”
Martinez went on to say: “The fact is that the border is not secure. And [there’s] the national security issue of all these aggravated offenders that are filtering through this brush. Tragically, the remains of many people are never recovered and their deaths remain invisible.”
More deaths, Martinez said, are avoidable “by securing the border.”
“WHERE’S OUR FUNDING?” NO HELP FROM BIDEN ADMININISTRATION
Sheriff Martinez said it takes deputies a minimum of three to four hours to recover a body, which often leaves the county under-policed during that time. Local ranchers have also reported having fences destroyed, tractors stolen, and land burned by illegal aliens.
“We’ve had roughly over 50,000 acres burned because of these immigrants that get lost or whatever. They create fire so they can get noticed, so we go find them,” Martinez said. Illegals are often coming from countries that receive aid from the United States. “Different countries are being provided funding from the United States. So why are we not holding them accountable for the funding they’re getting?” the sheriff said.
“I’m held accountable. Every single law enforcement entity that gets funding from the federal government is held accountable,” except for Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security. “Where’s our funding?” Martinez asked.
The reason that this atrocity continues, and the reason that Trump (who tried to stop it) was removed from office and now has no chance of being elected in 2024 (regardless of how many vote for him), is that much of not most of corporate America wants things exactly as they are: "Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?" https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal
I’m more concerned with the fentanyl deaths of Americans and the cost to all of us for supporting all these fine folks. I am also selfishly disturbed that my children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences of a run on our infrastructure.
