Texas Sheriff Warns Washington D.C.:
‘Releasing These Individuals Into Our Communities
Is Not Safe… It’s Costing Our Taxpayers’



Author in Chief


On Friday, during the broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,”
Val Verde County, TX Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez warned that placing illegal
immigrants into his county is costing taxpayers.

He also claimed that “over a year’s time, you’re looking at a little over
quarter-million dollars” in cost.

“So, releasing these individuals into our communities, it’s not safe. In our jail,
it’s costing our taxpayers,” Martinez began.

“So, if this kind of activity continues over the next 90 days, you’re talking about
$66,000. But over a year’s time, you’re looking at a little over a
quarter-million dollars,” he explained.

“That may be a drop in the bucket to D.C., but that’s a huge chunk of change
to Val Verde County,” he concluded.

“So, releasing these individuals into our communities, I don’t think that it’s
safe,” Martinez said.

“The individuals that are coming to Val Verde County, these immigrants that
are coming through here, they’re not coming here to stay. They’re going to go
elsewhere within the United States,” he added.

That cost estimate is just the tip of the iceberg,
this is going to cost us our country!
