Unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans who do not live along the U.S.-Mexico border, the country, under President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, has literally been under “invasion” for the duration of his term.
And now, a border judge who warned about the situation a year ago is issuing a dire new warning he says all Americans should heed.
Terrell County Judge Dale Carruthers said in a recent interview that the illegal aliens being allowed into the country by the hundreds of thousands aren’t just a problem for Americans living in border communities because the Biden administration is moving them further into the country and throughout the country.
“They’re coming to your town, and your residents will be just as angry as my residents are,” Carruthers said.
Carruthers became so troubled by the substantial number of illegal aliens entering the country she decided to abandon her lifelong affiliation with the Democratic Party and join the Republican Party. Her motivation stemmed from her belief that her former party not only displayed a lack of interest in addressing the issue but also appeared inclined to exacerbate it.
The Western Journal noted:
Just about a year ago, Carruthers became one of the first judges in Texas history to proclaim the flood of illegals to be an “invasion” of our country and she is not backing down from that assessment now.
In July of last year, Carruthers joined a list of judges, sheriffs, and other Texas officials in signing a declaration of invasion and calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to join them in labeling the crisis of illegals as an official invasion under Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, The Center Square reported at the time.
Carruthers said that the group of officials intended to keep pressure on Abbott about the dangers of illegal immigration.
“We are pushing it very hard,” she said in an interview last year. “Terrell County has less than 1,000 people. We have had [people from] over 100 different countries go through Terrell County. That is of every shade of Melanin in your skin. We have experienced an invasion that is something of every language.”
“And I say that — I am a multi-racial judge. I am standing here letting you know it is not of color. There are over 100 countries coming through. We are trying to protect the sovereignty of Texas. I am a constitutional judge, and we are standing behind the Constitution,” she added.
But a year later, nothing has changed, and the judge is speaking out anew.
In a new interview with The Center Square, she is continuing to warn that the people streaming across the border look more like an invading army than “refugees.”
Carruthers emphasized that the largest number of people coming across illegally are single, military-aged men. “This is who is coming through, large groups,” she added.
She said legitimate immigrants come to established ports of entry, but “runners, traffickers, and smugglers come through Terrell County.” Most are always wearing military-style camouflage clothing as well, she stressed.
Once they are allowed into Texas, she said, many begin committing crimes like breaking and entering, stealing, trespassing, and “smuggling people, exploiting people, kidnapping children, selling women and men into the slave trade.
“If that doesn’t frighten you, nothing will,” she said.
The judge added that the “gotaways ” — a term used for those who Border Patrol officers did not apprehend — are “carrying drugs the entire time.” She added, “The boys they kidnap are mules.”
Then more crimes follow, she explained, and “after that, Americans start dying.”
“We warned you,” she said. “We weren’t crying wolf; we’re crying coyote. We are telling you the Mexican cartels are here.”
