‘He Didn’t See Anything’: Border Patrol Union President Rips Biden’s Visit
After President Biden visited the port of entry in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, the president of the National Border Patrol Council — the union representing agents and support staff on the United States Border Patrol — condemned Biden for not visiting the area where the border crisis is occurring.
The port of entry at El Paso allows legal immigrants to enter the country. Last week, Biden arrived in El Paso and law enforcement agents removed illegal immigrants from streets.
“The only people that he met with in the in the Border Patrol were upper-level management,” Brandon Judd snapped. “If they don’t tell him what he wants to hear, they’re subject to be moved. He did not meet with any rank-and-file frontline agents.”
“Every single Border Patrol agent that I’ve spoken with is extremely frustrated and upset about what just took place yesterday,” Judd said that Judd was still at it according to Daily Mail. “They are upset that he was not willing to see what’s actually going on. They’re upset that they cleaned everything up. They’re upset that him knowing that he was going to bring the mainstream media with them, that we all of a sudden doubled the number of agents in the field so the mainstream media would say: ‘Hey, there’s nothing going on here, nothing to see.’”
“He didn’t tour any facilities where migrants would have been. So he didn’t see anything. He did not see any of the chaos that he’s created, that he’s caused,” Judd agreed. “He didn’t get any more of an understanding [than] what he had before he went, and again, that’s politics. It was just optics. It was a photo shoot.”
Biden arrived in Texas when GOP Governor Greg Abbott gave him a stipend. Briefing in blistering letters Abbott said that he had ripped him in the midst of this. “Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late. Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies. Even the city you visit has been sanitized of the migrant camps which had overrun downtown El Paso because your Administration wants to shield you from the chaos that Texans experience on a daily basis. This chaos is the direct result of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted.”
“Under your watch, by contrast, America is suffering the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country,” Abbott’s letter continued. “Your open-border policies have emboldened the cartels, who grow wealthy by trafficking deadly fentanyl and even human beings. Texans are paying an especially high price for your failure, sometimes with their very lives, as local leaders from your own party will tell you if given the chance. All of this is happening because you have violated your constitutional obligation to defend the States against invasion through faithful execution of federal laws.”
“When you finish the photo-ops in a carefully stage-managed version of El Paso, you have a job to do,” Abbott then outlined the steps Biden should follow:
All laws governing aliens must be complied with “shall” detained and cease the practice of illegally paroling foreigners en masseStop sandbagging about the implementation of Title 42 expulsions and the Remain-in-Mexico Policy. You must enforce Title 42 as ordered by the federal courts.Illegal entry at ports of entry must be prosecuted aggressively. ICE should then remove illegal immigrants according to federal law.You must immediately resume construction of Texas’ border wall, using the billions of dollar Congress has authorized for that purpose.Mexican drug cartels should be declared foreign terrorist organizations.
