The Border Patrol Chief forced out by Biden issued a letter of grave warning urging lawmakers to act. Rodney Scott says he witnessed firsthand “the unprecedented seismic shift in border security and immigration policy” that he says “created the current border crisis,” noting that what is happening at the border is a serious national security threat. Scott explains that he first noticed the change on January 20th and says it’s only continued to have gotten worse.
In the letter published by ‘Enforcement Today’ Scott explained the people who are and will exploit Bidens weak policies:
Scott warned that Biden’s policies caused a “rapid disintegration of what was arguably the most effective border security in our Nation’s history.”
“The Biden administration’s team at DHS is laser-focused on expediting the flow of migrants into the U.S. and downplaying the significant vulnerability this creates for terrorists, narcotics smugglers, human traffickers, and even hostile nations to gain access to our homeland,” Scott wrote. “In my professional assessment, the U.S. Border Patrol is rapidly losing the situational awareness required to know who and what is entering our Homeland.”
Scott says the problem is already a security risk but notes that it has the potential to become so much worse.
“Low level, unsophisticated and uneducated smugglers are illegally crossing the border and increasingly evading apprehension daily,” Scott warned. “To think that well-resourced terrorist networks, criminal organization, and hostile nations are not doing the same is naive.”
“The experienced civil service staff within CBP, ICE and DHS have provided multiple options to reduce the illegal entries and reestablish some semblance of border security through proven programs and consequences, yet every recommendation has been summarily rejected,” Scott wrote. “Secretary Mayorkas is choosing to ignore the sound recommendations of career government leadership despite his own admissions that he agrees with them.”
Scot said that it’s no coincidence that the borders are suddenly under siege. He explained that Mexican cartels are overwhelming the system on purpose to create “controllable gaps in border security” which they then exploit to “easily smuggle contraband, criminals, or even potential terrorists into the U.S. at will.”
“As I stated up front, it is my professional assessment that transnational criminal organizations (TCO), and other more dangerous actors are increasingly exploiting identified border security vulnerabilities,” Scott added. “The threats are real, and the situation is unsustainable, yet the current administration refuses to take any meaningful action.”
Scott urged members of the Senate to act and remain diligent explaining exactly what information they need to request including a detailed list of the number of people flagged as potential terrorists by Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). He added that Biden will downplay the actual numbers but explained that the information is all there for lawmakers to see.
Scott’s letter explained to lawmakers that there are currently more than 308,000 illegals hiding in the US. He noted that they gall them got-a-ways’ and told lawmakers how they can find that information as well.
