Texas sheriff warns that border crisis is ‘unsustainable’ with his deputies unable to stop ranches suffering hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage as migrants cut fences

A sheriff in Texas has called the border crisis ‘unprecedented’ and said that migrants are causing costly damage to ranches in his community.

‘Right now, we’re seeing something unprecedented, I’ve worked in this county for 35 years, and we are seeing a vast number of human smuggling events there,’ Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told Fox & Friends on Friday.

Kinney County is a mostly rural area bordering the Rio Grande River, with a population of just 3,600, but is near the busy Del Rio border crossing.
