Sheriff Posts Website Video Report on Trip to Mexican Border

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones has added a new item to the Sheriff’s Office website -- a video report on his recent trip to the U.S./Mexico border in Cochise County, Arizona. After several years being very vocal against national and state policies and practices concerning illegal immigration, Sheriff Jones and Ohio State Representative Courtney Combs traveled to Arizona in early October to get a first-hand look at the security of our nation’s border. What they saw, however, appeared more of an insecurity of the border. In this new video report (lasting approximately 15 minutes), the Sheriff shares some of his personal observations concerning border control. To view the video, visit the Sheriff’s website at www.butlersheriff.org, and then click on the link to “Sheriff Jones on the Border.”
