"It's a war, make no mistake about it," Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said. "And it's happening on American soil."Texas farmers and ranchers produce more cotton and more cattle than any other state, so Staples is concerned this war could eventually impact our food supply, and calls it a threat to our national security.
"Farmers and ranchers are being run off their own property by armed terrorists showing up and telling them they have to leave their land," Staples said.
To raise awareness, Commissioner Staples launched a website. It's a place where frustrated and scared farmers can share their stories.
Nothing to see here, move along folks. The Border is more secure than it's ever been.
