Ohio sheriff fed up with crime stemming from border crisis calls for death penalty renewal
[FoxNews] An Ohio sheriff said he supported the renewal of the death penalty for certain crimes as the state is ravaged by nefarious activity stemming from the porous southern border in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones, drew a connection between President Biden's border policies and an uptick in mayhem from illegal immigrants, which he said cost his taxpayers $4 million to incarcerate them.

"I am angry," Jones said, adding he could go "on and on" about the destruction caused by illegal immigrants. "People are fed up, and we want something done. And I don't know that we can stand President Biden being here. And this is just a sample of what he's done. Lord, help us all."

Over the last three years, Jones said 1,000 illegal immigrants were thrown in his jail for committing 2,000 crimes, many violent in nature.

"We had one guy that was deported eight times. He was in my jail under eight different names, and that's what we know of," Jones told Fox News Digital. "He's here. He's committed murder while he's here. And we believe that this isn't the first time he's committed murder. And we've had people that have been hit with vehicles killed. We've had people that have been stabbed. So the crime is increasing."

The sheriff recounted a few incidents that haunted him. One incident was when an illegal immigrant took a 9-year-old off her bicycle and molested her. Another is about a paraplegic who was hit by an illegal immigrant, who fled the scene.

As for those who say that homegrown citizens also commit crimes, Jones responded, "I don't need any extra crime coming from other countries where they empty their prisons out."

The sheriff said he is currently teaching his county how to use guns to protect themselves from crime.

"What would happen if Biden was reelected? I believe our country is in danger. But I'm not the only one. The government believes that if we continue with this trajectory, that we're all in danger. We are training our civilians here how to protect themselves" he said.

The Butler sheriff added that he believed President Biden was actively blocking Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement from doing their jobs.

The White House announced last week long-awaited executive actions to stop illegal immigrants at the southern border claiming asylum if crossings reach a certain level – a move coming a few months before the November election. The order will temporarily suspend the entry of non-citizens across the southern border once the number of average border encounters exceeds 2,500 a day over seven days, officials said.

However, according to sources who spoke to Fox News, the first full day after the announcement of President Biden’s executive order restricting asylum for most illegal immigrants appeared to have no immediate impact on the massive number of migrants coming across the southern border.

Overall, there were roughly 5,600 CBP encounters on Wednesday, which includes the 4,000 illegal crossings and CBP One App releases at ports of entry.

Jones has previously called on state lawmakers to pass legislation allowing law enforcement to file felony charges against anyone in Ohio who is an illegal immigrant, similar to a controversial measure in Texas, according to Fox 19.

#1 We already have a death penalty, in our streets, our businesses, our homes, our schools. The problem is the people being executed have no appeal or due process. It's the killers who get all the protection for decades.

#2 I'm to the point that if they commit violent crimes and are found to be in the country illegally, just do summary justice and put a bullet in the back of their head.

#3 Yes, no death penalty for their various crimes, but always a death penalty for minding your own business peacefully.

That's now the law of the land.
