The Border Patrol was bigly politicized under Trump. The union leadership even moreso. Whatever their political leadership says is beyond irrelevent, they don't even try and hide their political motives. |
How long until this thread’s locked? |
Dems hate unions! |
Freedom convoy 2.0 headed to Texas. |
Democrats and Biden didn't do any favors by falsely accusing Latino BP officers of whipping Haitians while on horseback and claiming they looked like Confederate slave drivers. |
But they apologized! /s |
Gee it's too bad that the Border Patrol union clearly wants us to vote for Republicans, who we now KNOW are just using the Border Patrol as political pawns by deliberately withholding legislative action that's needed to start addressing the issues at the border.
Also... I hope none of this is happening on the taxpayer nickel.... Hatch Act and all that... |
Well there's no denying whatsoever that optics WERE pretty damn bad and whether it's a whip or whether it's an extra-long 12 foot leather horse lead being used like a whip I bet you'd agree it'd sting like screaming hell if someone used it on you as was seen that day. |
Biden doesn’t need to wait for legislation to address the border. The authority and jurisdiction for it is ALREADY there and in existence. Just doesn't want to do it and is playing gaslighting games. |
DP but this is why it’s hard to run on being the adults in the room when you won’t take any responsibility for your actions. |
But they were not hitting anyone (or attempting to), that’s just how reins are used. And that’s something you can just Google instead of ascribing malicious intent and actions towards hardworking and overwhelmed (by your own policies) public servants, no? |
The CBP investigation did not find evidence that mounted agents struck anyone with their reins, contradicting claims by some advocates and Democrats that migrants had been whipped, the senior agency officials said, requesting anonymity to discuss the probe before the public release of the report. |
