in World News Butler County, Ohio Sheriff Richard Jones Sounds the Alarm on Invasion of Illegals: “Every State Is a Border State”
In a fiery speech released last week to the people of Butler County, Sheriff Richard Jones didn’t mince words about the growing illegal immigration crisis.
Pointing specifically to nearby Springfield, Ohio, the sheriff warned of a quiet invasion that threatens to unravel communities and strain local resources beyond repair.
“I’m here today to talk about the invasion of our country. And mostly, I want to talk about Springfield, Ohio. In just four years, between 15,000 and 20,000 illegals have poured into this small city of 50,000 residents. That’s almost half the population — and it’s unsustainable.”
For Jones, this is more than a local problem; it’s a national emergency. The sheriff highlighted how the influx of undocumented immigrants has crippled Springfield’s school systems, overloaded hospitals, and overwhelmed social services agencies. Emergency services, already stretched thin, have been left in the dark, unable to track who’s in their communities.
“Our citizens are angry as hell,” Jones said. “Where are they going to live? Who’s going to pay for their healthcare, education, and welfare? And most importantly, how can we ensure the safety of our residents when the police have no idea who these people are?”
