Texas Rep. Tony Gonzáles continued raising concerns over criminals illegally entering the United States through its border with Mexico. The Republican is now pushing for local law enforcement to help Border Patrol agents in tracking down people entering the country considering the risk they may commit crimes on U.S. soil.
The lawmaker said he met with the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently and was told that more than 10,000 unauthorized migrants have committed serious crimes either after arriving to the U.S. or back in their home country.
