TEXAS LISTS 10 MOST WANTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

The list was released on Wednesday and is a collaboration between the Texas Governor and Texas DPS. Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement, quote, Texas is a law and order state, and with the help of our fellow Texans, we will ensure that the illegal immigrants on this list are taken off our streets and put behind bars to keep our communities safe. The list is available on the Texas DPS website and shows names, photos, and descriptions of the 10 wanted suspects. It also lists the alleged crimes they are wanted for. Six of the 10 include sexual assault or sexual contact with a child. Over the past few years, Texas has taken various efforts to curb the mass influx of illegal immigration, include deploying the State National Guard and DPS to the border with Operation Lone Star and making it a state crime to pass through the U.S.-Mexico border outside of any designated points of entry. Last Friday, Governor Abbott said the measures have been improving the situation. Over the past two years, illegal immigration has increased in New Mexico, Arizona, and California. At the very same time, it has gone down in the state of Texas by about 72 percent. Texas is offering cash rewards for the most wanted suspects ranging up to three to five thousand dollars. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling Texas Crime Stoppers, going to the Texas DPS website, or on the Texas 10 Most Wanted Facebook page. The notice says all the fugitives are to be considered armed and dangerous. Jason Blair, NTD News.
