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.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
