Texas Sheriff Tom Schmerber of Maverick County has personally witnessed the growing problem along the border in Eagle Pass, TX.
Schmerber says the surge of illegals has “been here for two years now, and it’s getting worse.”
He also noted that they’re getting “nothing” from Joe Biden and federal government. Only the state of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott has helped as much as possible. (Trending: Unearthed Clip Shows Joe and Hunter Discussing Business)

Appearing on NBC, Schmerber stated, “I never thought I would see in Eagle Pass all kinds of immigrants coming through here, a lot of countries. And just like — they’re not afraid. They were just walking in line, crossing the river, walking in line, and being processed by the officers, immigration and troopers.”
He added, “We’re going to get more waves, and I am worried.”
NBC host Tom Llamas asked, “Secretary Mayorkas is going to go to McAllen, TX with the president of Honduras. Does it bother you that they’re not coming here to Eagle Pass?”
Schmerber responded, “It does, because we’ve been here — this problem’s been here for two years now, and it’s getting worse. And I haven’t seen a higher official like the vice president, whoever it is, coming here to Eagle Pass. I know the vice president went to El Paso a long time ago, but never here. This is where they belong –.” (Trending: Biden Family Is Officially In Panic Mode)

Llamas said, “What more do you need here? Because yesterday, I had Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) saying that Eagle Pass had not received any federal dollars. The Biden administration disputed that. Are you receiving federal help?”
Schmerber answered, “Nothing. The only help we are getting is from the state, the Governor. He helped us with, of course, grant money. And with that money, we hired a few more deputies and equipment that we needed. And we have a second grant this month…so we can get more equipment and troopers.”
