Biden Owes Border Patrol Brokers Apology Over Phony Migrant Whipping Fees

Solely in America, it appears, can Border Patrol brokers be cleared of breaking any legal guidelines, however nonetheless be punished, whereas these coming into the nation illegally principally escape punishment.

President Joe Biden, then-press secretary Jen Psaki, and Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all rushed to judgment once they noticed a video of Border Patrol brokers in Texas final September herding Haitians making an attempt to enter the nation with out authorization.

Biden had threatened the brokers, saying they’d “pay” for his or her actions. They’ve paid in misplaced time on the job, the smearing of their character, and doubtless an finish to their careers. It’s the administration that ought to pay. One hopes the brokers will discover a lawyer who sues them for slander.

In a 511-page report (solely the federal government requires so many phrases to clarify the plain), Customs and Border Safety mentioned the brokers didn’t whip the migrants, who managed to get throughout the border anyway, however added they’re nonetheless responsible of “unprofessional conduct,” together with utilizing “pointless drive on Haitians.”

Apparently, a few of the brokers used dangerous language whereas attempting to show the individuals again. Stunning, I do know. Had been they imagined to say: “Would you fairly please flip round and return to your nation?”

Texas Legal professional Basic Ken Paxton has joined different Republicans in calling on Biden and others to apologize to the 4 brokers they falsely accused. Good luck with that. Being a excessive authorities official means by no means having to say you’re sorry. Paxton mentioned as an alternative of being punished, the brokers “ought to be rewarded.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is attempting to do the job the Biden administration has to date refused to do by sending migrants who cross into his state again to a longtime crossing level the place they are often processed. The administration opposes the transfer and is suing Texas to attempt to cease it.

Sure, I perceive that immigration is the constitutional duty of the federal authorities, however what’s a governor to do when his state is being overrun by migrants, a few of whom they are saying are destroying personal property and committing different crimes, together with rape and homicide?

In Richmond, Virginia, two males within the nation illegally have been arrested previous to what authorities say was a plot to conduct an act of terrorism on July 4. Somebody heard one thing and mentioned one thing, stopping what might need been a tragedy had the lads been capable of proceed with their alleged plot. One of many males reportedly had been deported twice earlier than.

If Republicans obtain a majority within the Home and Senate within the November elections, their prime precedence should be securing the border and restoring a authorized course of for these in search of to enter the nation. Biden is prone to veto any laws handed by Republicans to realize that aim, but when there are sufficient Republicans in Congress his veto may be overridden.

It isn’t simply these breaking our legal guidelines to get right here that could be a persevering with downside, but additionally the big quantities of the lethal drug fentanyl coming in. Fentanyl now ranks No. 1 on the listing of greatest killers of 18- to 45-year-olds in america. And it’s in regards to the variety of determined individuals promised a greater life by the cartels and human traffickers who’ve died on their harmful journey.

All of the administration has mentioned is “don’t come,” which is like telling a toddler to not raid the cookie jar. Mayorkas has repeatedly made the ludicrous declare that the border is closed. He ought to be impeached for mendacity and never implementing the regulation, or possibly convey again the traditional whiplash type of punishment and apply it to excessive authorities officers (simply kidding).
