KRGV reports a spike in sex offenders crossing the border into the US.
The Border Patrol is reporting a severe spike in sex offenders sneaking into the U.S.
Border Patrol agents are running into more sex offenders this year than last year.
Within the last five months, 144 apprehended.
During the same time last year, 93 sex offenders were caught trying to fly under the radar.
Data like this proves Governor Abbott’s border security plan must be passed as soon as possible. Securing Texans is a crucial step in keeping Texas the best state in the country. Read Governor Abbott’s Securing Texans plan today.
While we are seeing an uptick in criminals crossing the border, we’re already fighting it with the newest technology:
Border Patrol agents are using sophisticated software that search criminal databases worldwide. They have strengthened their biometric technology, which scans fingerprints, scans retinas, and has facial recognition.
It’s important that we continue to support border security. Sign the petition if you support a strong Texas border.
