Border Patrol Union Mocks Biden Over Texas Visit: ‘Take a Nap
Border Patrol Union Mocks President Joe Biden’s Visit to U.S.-Mexico Border
On Saturday, the National Border Patrol Council, representing Border Patrol agents, took a jab at President Joe Biden for his visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on the same day as former President Donald Trump.
Board AF1, take nap.
Wake up in place called Brownsville.
Read large teleprompter message, “It’s all Trump’s fault”.
Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they “strap” illegal aliens, express horror, take nap.

The National Border Patrol Council posted an image of Biden relaxing on a beach, accompanied by a tongue-in-cheek description of his activities during his visit to a border town in Texas.
“Board AF1, take nap. Wake up in place called Brownsville. Read large teleprompter message, ‘It’s all Trump’s fault’. Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they ‘strap’ illegal aliens, express horror, take nap. Wake up, call a lid, hit beach, take nap,” the post stated.
The National Border Patrol Council, representing around 18,000 Border Patrol agents and support personnel, has been a vocal critic of Biden and his administration’s approach to border security. They have previously endorsed Trump.
Dear Joe,
You OWN this catastrophic disaster at the border – lock, stock and barrel. You created it. You nursed it along. You encouraged it. You facilitated it. It’s all yours.
Don’t run from it now like a coward.
Signed,
The BP agents you’ve thrown under the bus. pic.twitter.com/z6HrL6Ai6E

Biden recently visited Brownsville, Texas, where he toured a Border Patrol Station. In his remarks, he praised the work of Border Patrol agents and immigration officers under challenging conditions.
Biden also extended a message to Trump, who visited Eagle Pass, Texas on the same day, urging him to put politics aside and support a bipartisan border security bill.
“Here’s what I would say to Mr. Trump: Instead of playing politics with the issue, instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me — or I’ll join you — in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together,” Biden said.
The National Border Patrol Council had previously endorsed a Senate immigration reform deal, which Trump opposed. The union’s president, Brandon Judd, expressed support for the bill, stating that it was a step in the right direction.

How does the National Border Patrol Council view President Biden’s visit to the U.S.-Mexico border and what does their mocking tweet suggest?
Tic of the Biden administration’s border policies. The union has consistently expressed concerns about the surge in illegal border crossings since Biden took office and has accused the administration of not doing enough to secure the border.
The mocking tweet comes as Biden made his first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming president. During his visit, Biden sought to highlight the progress his administration has made in addressing the border crisis. He toured a border patrol facility and met with local officials and immigration advocates.
However, the National Border Patrol Council’s tweet suggests that they view Biden’s visit as nothing more than a political stunt. They portray Biden as disinterested and detached, more focused on taking naps and blaming his predecessor than addressing the real issues at the border. The union’s sarcastic tone reflects their frustration with what they see as a lack of meaningful action from the administration.
This kind of public criticism from a union representing frontline law enforcement agents is notable and reflects the deep divide and growing discontent within the Border Patrol ranks. Many agents feel overwhelmed and unsupported as they try to manage the influx of migrants crossing the border illegally.
The Biden administration has faced intense scrutiny over their handling of the border crisis. Republicans and border patrol agents alike argue that the administration’s rollback of Trump-era immigration policies, such as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and the border wall construction, have contributed to the surge in illegal crossings.
The National Border Patrol Council’s mocking tweet is just the latest example of the growing tension between the Biden administration and law enforcement agencies on the ground. While Biden has promised to address the root causes of migration and implement immigration reforms, the union and many agents on the frontlines believe more immediate actions are necessary to secure the border and stem the flow of illegal immigration.
As the Biden administration continues to grapple with the border crisis, it is clear that they will face an uphill battle in winning the support and trust of border patrol agents. The mocking tweet from the National Border Patrol Council serves as a stark reminder of the challenges they face and the deep divisions that exist within the agency.
