The liberal political climate in Washington regarding anything dealing with illegal aliens and the southern border has led to federal prosecutors stop charging cartel smugglers and halt arresting illegal aliens in the U.S. on other criminal charges, Wilmot said.
The Yuma Sheriff has since begun to deputize federal agents so that they can have their arrests prosecuted in federal court.
“That’s a bill that I end up having to pay now because they are stuck in my jail,” Wilmot said. “That’s my cost not only to house them but to also take care of their medical problems. Then the county attorney has to burden that cost of providing a public defender.”
“There’s not a sheriff in here that wants anything to do with immigration,” Wilmot said. “We are talking about the criminals.”
The effort to not prosecute certain individuals and not others has resulted in other agencies turning to Wilmot to be able to take their investigations to court.
“The issue has gotten to the point where I have had the FBI come to me because the U.S. Attorney won’t prosecute child porn cases,” Wilmot said. “That’s how ridiculous it has gotten. That’s our frustration, you say it’s your job well then do your job but if you are not and we have to do it for you then give us the money to do it. “

In Yuma County alone, Wilmot has spent more than $500,000 since October and $950,000 in costs to prosecute, house and care for criminal aliens. Overall the sheriff’s in Arizona have spent more than $30 million to enforce the law however the federal government has been reimbursing them 4.8 cents per dollar spent.
“That is their job but they are not doing it,” he said. “It is insane, and you can understand my frustrations with DC.”
