Let's find the root cause for the Border Patrol agents' low morale

Kamala Harris's sham assignment for finding the root causes for illegal immigration should stop ASAP. It's a waste of time because it's irrelevant. What's relevant is finding out why U.S. Border Patrol agents are leaving and why morale is at an all-time low. It's relevant because the Border Patrol are the front lines in the war against the cartels.

It's time to find out why things are cratering for the USBP. Things certainly got ugly when Secretary Mayorkas and U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz visited with agents in Laredo, TX Friday. This isn't going to improve until the administration's policies change dramatically. Morale is "at an all-time low." Thus far, Ortiz, Mayorkas and Biden haven't contributed anything except grief for USBP.

It's clear that Mayorkas and Ortiz are going through the motions. During the intense part of the fight, Ortiz's words were more word salad than the substantive words of a leader. Check out this fight:

"I get it," Ortiz said. "You come to work, you’re frustrated. You’re upset because you didn’t get the desired outcome that you want. Doesn’t mean you give up."

"We’re not," one agent responded.

"I know you’re not," Ortiz replied. "That’s why I’m saying, we don’t give up. We stay focused, we continue to do the job and the mission that we signed up for. We all signed up for it, we all raised our hand."

Watch how quickly this exchange gets heated:

With the agents seemingly still not satisfied with the answers they were getting, Ortiz asked them, "Why are you guys getting caught up in semantics? … I’ve been doing this job as long as y’all."

"That’s the problem, chief," one agent interjected. "For evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Good men are doing nothing. You’re allowing illegal aliens to be dropped off in communities."

Ortiz has a Biden administration policy crisis. The Biden administration wants illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. This is proof of that:

In general, Democrats aren't into enforcing laws. They just like the pomp and circumstance of signing ceremonies.

"And under this administration, in the last year, we’ve got the highest fentanyl deaths in the history of our country," one person in the room shot back.

Ortiz said the U.S. has caught more fentanyl coming across the border this year than last year, but one agent wondered how much is not being caught.

"I don’t know," Ortiz said. "We’re working on it."

"And that’s the problem," the agent said.

That's what happens when the borders aren't patrolled.
