Bristol County Sheriff Hodgson issues statement on lack of border wall funding, urges public to help Sheriffs raise money to build the wall

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson has issued the following statement:

“Congress has once again ignored the safety and security of each and every American by refusing to include any funding for the border wall in the latest spending bill.

How many more people need to be killed by criminal illegal aliens before Congress takes action? How many more people need to be robbed, assaulted and victimized by transnational gangs like MS-13 before our Representatives and Senators pass meaningful measures on border security?

America’s Sheriffs will not stand idle while Congress makes the people who elected us, the people we’re sworn to protect, less safe. That’s why I encourage everyone to visit www.SheriffsWall.org, the crowdfunding site of the National Sheriffs Association, and help us build a wall along the southern border.

Thank you,
Thomas M. Hodgson”
