“As long as this president is in here, I don’t think it’s going to get any better. He’s destabilized the border.”

As the crisis at the southern border continues, Texan ranchers are still greatly affected by the rise in illegal border crossing and drug smuggling.

According to new data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were 199,976 encounters and more than 20,000 pounds of fentanyl confiscated in the month of July alone.

With the crisis getting worse, some Texans have resorted to fleeing the state and seeking safety elsewhere.

The owner of Double M Ranch, Mike Hayes, was interviewed by Fox and Friends on Tuesday about the traumatic experience of illegal immigrants trying to break into his home.

“Last summer, I was in the hay fields and my wife and my daughter was in the house, and a guy tried to break in the door with them. And if it wasn’t for my son, 13 years old, running up there and getting on him, he would have probably made his way in there. And then there was an attack of an elderly lady up towards Eagle Pass. It didn’t take much for them to decide this wasn’t where we wanted to live anymore,” Hayes told Fox News.

While Hayes stayed behind to operate his hunting ranch, he moved his family to Louisiana in search of a safer environment.
