Texas rancher Whit Jones has seen the ugly side of illegal Immigration, as evidenced by the bodies he and his neighbors have found on their land.
Jones appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday to explain how the border crisis looks from his ranch in Hebbronville, Texas.
Jones said that he finds two or three dead migrants a year on his property, noting that the number varies depending upon how close ranches are to the route illegal immigrants usually take.
“A neighbor of mine has been finding close to 10 a year for the last 10 years,” he said, according to Fox News.
Death is a common companion for illegal immigrants on their journey. Border Patrol reported that during the 2019 federal fiscal year, 300 immigrants died near the southern border, according to Statista.com.
Most of those Jones has found are men in their 20s to 40s who would not qualify for asylum.
“Right now we’re seeing hardly any children or women because of everything that’s going on on the river,” Jones said. “Those people aren’t having to make this journey.”
