While taking to Twitter on Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threw his support behind border sheriffs who testified about challenges they are facing as illegal border crossings hit record numbers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;This crisis is not going to stay on the border. It&#8217;s going to affect all of us in the State of Texas &amp; all of us in the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez testifying before the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/txlege?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#txlege<\/a> yesterday in support of additional border security funding. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vGG7TMxRAe\">pic.twitter.com\/vGG7TMxRAe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1430639836415860739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/tlchouse.granicus.com\/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=46&amp;clip_id=22334\">hearing <\/a>on Tuesday, Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez said lacking resources to crack down on illegal immigration poses a safety threat to both landowners and aliens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have a individual on a ranch by herself and she\u2019s in fear of her life, and you have an unknown male coming through and she don\u2019t want them on the property, I think they should be arrested versus them getting shot because that\u2019s what some of my citizens are asking,\u201d he stated. \u201cWhen can we can shoot?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, more than 212,000 people attempted to illegally cross Texas\u2019 southern border, which is the largest number since 2000. However, Sheriff Martinez warned Lone Star State residents are not the only ones feeling the effects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are faced with unprecedented challenges for our county, along with any other counties along the border, but this crisis is not gonna stay on the border,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff Martinez went on to suggest it\u2019s not too late to fix the border crisis, but said authorities in Texas will need more resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I support these funds to secure our border because whatever gets through us will go to your constituents, those are the people that will be effected,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gov. Abbott urged legislators to act swiftly on requests for more funding and pledged to keep border security as a priority.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-dems-vote-to-adopt-3-5t-budget-resolution-move-forward-with-big-spending-agenda\/\">House Dems Vote To Adopt $3.5T Budget Resolution, Move Forward With Big Spending Agenda<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent passing along a section of border wall in Hidalgo, Texas.
