DEL RIO, Texas-Alison Anderson and her husband, a Border Patrol agent, moved from a remote ranch near Big Bend, Texas, after one too many armed encounters with illegal aliens on their property.
Once a relatively quiet region for illegal border crossings, the Del Rio Sector is now the second busiest, after the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas.
"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't read a paper or a report from my agents that talks about criminal aliens, sexual offenders that they've apprehended out there," newly appointed Acting Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said at an event in Del Rio on June 24.
Sewell estimates Border Patrol is catching about one-third of the illegal aliens that are crossing.
Archie McFadin lives near Uvalde, adjacent to where Border Patrol stops and inspects the trains traveling from the U.S.-Mexico border to San Antonio.
As a train slows down to stop, often a stream of illegal aliens will jump off and run onto his property to avoid Border Patrol.
"The increase in the number of illegal immigrants that are going through Uvalde on trains has become a serious problem for Border Patrol, local law enforcement, and our community, as most of these individuals have criminal records or gang affiliation and wouldn't be allowed in our country," Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told The Epoch Times on June 23.
