RICH WELSH| A leaked video shows Border patrol agents in Laredo, Texas on Friday blowing off stream in a heated exchange with Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz concerning Biden administration border policies that are insane at best and criminal at worst.
This confrontation happened two days after agents from southern Arizona turned their backs on Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas over what they deem to be immigration policies that are intentionally allowing as many illegal border crossers into the country as possible.
Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey earlier this week said that Secretary Mayorkas should resign.
From ABC5:
“I found out that Secretary Mayorkas was visiting Tuesday. It’s time for Secretary Mayorkas to resign,” Ducey said.
Ducey took his shot at Mayorkas while the Secretary toured the Border near Yuma Wednesday. Confirmed nearly a year ago, this was his first visit to the Arizona border as Secretary of Homeland Security.
“I wasn’t given the opportunity to speak to him. He doesn’t want to speak to governors. He doesn’t respond to myself, to Governor Abbott. He doesn’t respond to the letters Republican governors have written him,” Ducey said.
The leaked video shows Border Patrol agents confronting Mayorkas and Ortiz concerning the low morale among fellow agents because they feel they cannot do their job and their hands are tied because of the Biden administration’s asinine immigration policies.
Mayorkas refused to answer a question by one of the agents about when the Biden administration would start to “get the ball rolling in a positive direction,” deferring to Ortiz instead. What a coward.
After admitting that “morale is at an all-time low,” Ortiz then blew smoke up their pant legs, telling the Border Patrol agents that they have to do a better job of taking care of agency leaders and vice versa.
“I get it. You come to work, you’re frustrated. You’re upset because you didn’t get the desired outcome that you want,” Ortiz added. “Doesn’t mean you give up.”
“We’re not,” one agent fired back. That’s pretty much why they’re arguing with the guys who are allowing the administration to destroy our country with third world paupers that the American taxpayers now have to support.
“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.” How can they continue to do the job when the administration is making it impossible for them to continue doing the job?
It was at that point when the encounter got heated.
An agent sounded off telling Ortiz and Mayorkas that a Border Patrol agent’s job is to “defend the Constitution, not the administration.”
Another agent jumped in, saying, “It’s kinda hard to say that,” referring to Ortiz’s comments, but Ortiz screamed over that agent.
“It’s not hard to say it,” Ortiz screamed. “It may be hard for you to say it, I’ve been doing this for 31 years. It’s not hard for me to say it.”
Ortiz also needs to go. He no longer represents the rank-and-file Border Patrol agents. He’s been compromised by the radical Biden administration.
Agents then reminded Ortiz that Biden administration policies run counter to the Border patrol’s mission, referring to policies that allow illegal immigrants to be released inside the US never to be heard from again. In fact, the Biden administration is flying illegals by the tens of thousands into states and dumping them off there without notifying state or local authorities. It’s patently obvious that the Biden administration is trying to get as many illegal aliens into the country as possible before the 2022 midterm elections so that Biden can slip through an amnesty bill or even write another illegal executive order so that the millions of illegals who he has let into the country can vote Democrat for the rest of their lives. He wants to do to all of America what they did to California.
“You’re getting bogged down in the policies and the politics,” Ortiz responded. Is this guy for real?
“There’s a mission out there to be had guys,” Ortiz said while angry agents continued to talk over him in protest. “We can sit here and argue until we’re blue in the face. I’ve been doing this job as long as y’all.”
“That’s the problem, chief,” one agent shot back. “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.”
