Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd is raising the alarm over rising numbers of illegal border crossings and calling on President Joe Biden’s administration to place more pressure on Central American countries to act.

Sheriff Boyd says his community, located about 200 miles north of the U.S. southern land border, is starting to feel the strain from the traffic crossing into the United States.
