A concerted campaign in the mainstream media to characterize the situation at the Southern Border as under control and with illegal immigration flows subsiding doesn’t fool those who are actually working there.
“This notion that DHS is saying the border is more secure than ever — they don’t have any evidence of that,” said Brandon Judd, a 17-year agent who is president of the National Border Patrol Council. “It’s just smoke and mirrors.”
After 2014’s flood of unaccompanied minors pouring over the border caused a crisis, the numbers for 2015 are way down. However, officials have still captured 15,647 unaccompanied minors so far this year making it the second biggest count on record.
In addition, morale among the Border Patrol is flagging after Obama essentially made their job pointless with his executive action on amnesty.
The vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, Shawn Moran, characterized U.S. Customs and Border Protection as “inefficient and top-heavy with supervisors” and said morale continues to plunge in frustrated agents who “know there is a lot of traffic still getting through the border,” according to the Post.
“Border crossings are usually tied with perceived amnesty,” Cabrera said. “If people believe they will get some type of relief or a free ride, the floodgates open.”
It may in fact be true that illegal immigration is slowing down. However, since one quarter of Mexico’s population is already in America, it’s hard to see how the massive wave could continue.
more non-Mexicans than Mexicans were apprehended at U.S. borders in 2014 (229,000 Mexicans, 257,000 non-Mexicans.)
I’ll bet the non-mexicans are muslims that “obama” has or will let cross the border “illegally” anyway….!!!! “obama” may as well quit the B.S. and ….have the homeland security struck down by “yet another one of his famous illegal executive orders” and pocket the tax money like he has and will continue to do….!!!!
Where is the next Oswald?
I would have to summize that if one more illegal crossed the border I could hold Obama for contempt and shoot him. Our borders are so much more secure than anytime before.?? A snake is still a snake and a pole cat will still stink up a place if you keep him around long enough. We will soon have the 35,000 that Obama promised green cards to Castro when Mandella died. Putin is playing air war games in our air space above the arctic. This is a time when Obama is saying=
HANDS UP DONT SHOOT ??????????????
Fox news had a former marine on and he said he and a few others were joining the fight in Irac???
I think this would be suicide because the weapons are with the people Obama wanted . Remember that red line well Obie 2 Tone has red lined himself to the back wall of the white house and cant move anymore. The change for america he claimed was a demographic one for nothing, not even a por favor there Pedro. The american people get to pay for there livelihood. Our countrymen should gather at the border with weapons showing this slime thats crawling into our country will be stopped at the point of war. People this is what it is war the people in Washington no longer listen to us. We thought we kicked a field goal when the republicans took charge. Wha – whaaa times up theres no money in it. They flipped, and were on our own our government has been hi – hacked. Cant you see this. For instance his administration are all black & muslim with the exceptions of the short gay white men who speak for him and the obnoxious fat white women. Go ahead prove that I am wrong.
I’d scoff if President Obozo declared that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
