What is the purpose to keep funding the Border Patrol when the border is essentially wide open, and even other Federal Agencies refuse to cooperate with them. If they are eliminated would it actually make a difference in illegal immigration?


'Unbelievable'! Border patrol agents OPEN the gates at a crossing point letting in illegal migrants at the southern border moments after Greg Abbott's Texas National Guard had locked them: More than two million have crossed in 2022 - a 22-year high

Footage showed the armed agents unbuckle the barb-wire fence before streams of asylum seekers walk past

At least two million migrant encounters have been reported already this fiscal year, setting a new record

U.S. Marshals to stop holding illegal migrants for ICE: report

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

The U.S. Marshals Service is reportedly preparing to limit the agency from holding illegal migrants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Marshals would be unable to hold illegal immigrants for pickup by ICE at the direction of an immigration warrant, also known as a "detainer" request, according to the Washington Times.

Even if the agency finishes processing a migrant for custody, it must reportedly release the person even if ICE has requested a hold, under the proposed policy.

While officials claimed the policy is still being drafted, the Times reported, based on an employee memo, it has already been implemented in at least one jurisdiction in Florida.

Illegal immigration has increased under the Biden administration. U.S. Customs and Border Protection have encountered a record of more than 2.2 million migrants during fiscal 2022.

No.

It is time to dismantle the GDC's in charge.

Edited to clarify: Dammit, I was slower editing than 12131 was in replying.

I mean by voting them out and voting real Conservatives in. Starting very soon.

You racist right wing extremist domestic terrorist, you.

NO.
I'd have more cruising the river with 50cal machine guns.

No, wait a minute. Schulz, you are in TX. You should know that the vast majority of the Rio Grande isn't being "cruised" by anyone...

Hell, most of the time, it could be foot patrolled, right down the middle...

Don't blame the front liners. I see subdued brass on the collar of the bald dude, but can't make out the rank. BP Agents have a habit of drinking the Cool-Aid once they're promoted unfortunately.

You can tell he doesn't work the field because he has his phone holder attached to his gunbelt.

Yes, it's time to dismantle the BP and turn the southern border into a DMZ like it is between North and South Korea.

I don't really understand why people invading illegally are given rights.

Ha ha ha! Votes that can be counted reliably for a certain political party might have something to do with it.

/sarc on

Perhaps the next POTUS will move the Capitol, White House and all the administrative buildings from the expensive, crowded, crime-infested area they currently are in, to that wonderfully safe, totally-under-control area called the Southern Border.

Problem solved!

/sarc off

The likely plan is to have the illegals in charge of the border

There's still powerful but quiet lobbying for cheap labor at meat packing plants, corn and soybean seed companies, construction, and much more.

That’s a question asked by people who do NOT live in a state bordering Mexico.

When I was LAX-based, I had a similar “debate” with an idiot in the crashpad who was from one of the Virginias who had stated there was nothing wrong with illegal immigration. Most residents not of a border state don’t understand the drag illegal immigration has on this country. Not to mention that it’s…wait for it…ILLEGAL.

I had the privilege a few years back of working with some of the fine men and women in Border Patrol and ICE, Texas Rangers, DEA, and TX DPS who were dealing with issues around the TX border. Their job is like stemming the tide. I also have family who are landowners on the AZ border. If you have not seen the issues they are dealing with in person you cannot perceive the magnitude of the problems they are facing. Illegal immigration pervades all aspects of life in the border states. The irony of the hypocrisy of sanctuary cities like D.C. and NYC is epic. With proper backing ICE and Border Patrol can make a difference. Come on mid terms.

leave CBP alone

dismantle the government

Hire 87000 more IRS agents then transfer every one of them to the Border Patrol !
