Sheriffs: 'California is an open territory for the cartel to do whatever it wants'

 California residents are suffering from Biden-Harris administration “open border” policies and California’s sanctuary state law, California sheriffs argue.

At a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on victim perspectives, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said, “when it comes to open borders and the impact of illegal immigration in California, I have a front row seat to the havoc those can wreak.” Boudreaux is among many sheriffs in the state who don’t support Harris for president, he’s said after their image was used in one of her campaign ads.

He then described cases in the Central Valley related to the border crisis.

California has basically become an open territory for the cartel to do whatever it wants.” Mexican cartels “are infiltrating our communities, unleashing incredible violence and taking the lives of innocent people,” he continued, describing an execution style murder of a family, including a 16-year-old mother and her 10-month-old baby, The Center Square reported on last year.

With illegal immigration comes crime, and that has stretched thin law enforcement resources, he said.

“Our state and nation matter and our citizens are afraid of the consequences of an open border.

“When it comes to our open border, the Central Valley is at the foot of the mountain staring down an avalanche.
