They are heavily MAGA so it’s no secret they dump on Biden.

Or they are men and women who do hard jobs and don’t like seeing our laws broken and country overrun by illegal aliens.

Looks like the agents are breaking some laws themselves:

“Under the Trump administration, the Border Patrol, a once obscure federal agency, has been thrust into the center of a rancorous debate over immigration policy, facing intense criticism over the squalid conditions in the agency’s overcrowded detention facilities, a string of migrant deaths and revelations that some 9,500 current and former agents were part of a private Facebook group that included vulgar and misogynistic content.

Equally troubling has been evidence of ongoing lawlessness in the agency’s ranks. Over the past five years, hundreds of Border Patrol agents have been arrested on charges ranging from drunken driving to murder, causing alarm among congressional leaders, law enforcement experts and the Border Patrol’s own advisory board, which in 2016 warned that criminal misconduct by agents could undermine the agency’s ability to secure the borders.”

That’s par for the course when standards lower to recruit bodies to fill uniforms.

By all means, continue to trash the Border Patrol. If it were up to democrats, we’d just abolish the Border Patrol and let the border be freely accessible to anyone who wanted to wander across.

Border patrol agents don’t build detention facilities or make the laws and rules they enforce. They have to do a hard job while people like you talk crap about them.

By all means, join the Border Patrol and move to the border. Show us all how it’s done- you will be a shining example of a truly exceptional Border Patrol agent.

Calm down, buddy. Literally all I said was “looks like the agents are breaking some laws themselves.”

DP but the deflection is sort of annoying.

The head of the Border Patrol union is warning that agents, already overwhelmed by the ongoing crisis at the southern border, are feeling "completely defeated" ahead of the ending of Title 42 this week — amid widespread fears of an even bigger surge once the public health order ends.

"We feel completely and totally defeated," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News Digital in an interview.

"You can go to any station right now, and there's just not a whole lot of talk among agents," he said. "It used to be that there was a lot of camaraderie, a lot of joking, people just pretty happy doing their jobs now. There's just nothing."

We just feel, we all feel just completely defeated, like there's just no point in doing our jobs. We still do it, don't get me wrong. We still go do our job, but we just feel like there's just absolutely no point. And so it's just really bad."

Border Patrol agents have been demoralized by the Biden administration.

they can quit. I am sure there are others ready to take their place.

Also, nobody takes this union seriously, as they have always had a clear agenda.

You should be a Border Patrol Agent and show them how to patrol the border the right way.

CBP recruitment incentives reach as high as $30,000 for new border patrol agents

As a way to fill gaps in its ranks, United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently upped its recruitment incentives for agents to as much as $30,000 for those who entered duty on or after Jan. 8, 2024.

Additional incentives were also potentially offered for applicants who took on remote tours of duty in areas like Sierra Blanca, Texas; Presidio, Texas; Sanderson, Texas; Comstock, Texas; Lordsburg, New Mexico; Freer, Texas; Hebbronville, Texas; and Ajo, Arizona. To actually receive either incentive, though, candidates must complete the terms of their service agreement.

“Getting into law enforcement can be difficult. Often, candidates must be willing to move to a new location,” Jason Owens, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, said.

Border Patrol’s struggles to recruit and keep agents present a seldom-discussed impediment to Trump’s efforts to lock down the U.S.-Mexico border — one that the Trump White House is reluctant to acknowledge.

“It’s a tough job,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican whose district stretches from outside Houston to the Austin area and is a former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. “You’re down in really harsh conditions and you got some migrants throwing rocks at you.”

The struggle to recruit and retain Border Patrol agents predates the Trump administration. The number of agents peaked at 21,444 in fiscal year 2011, and since then has mostly trended downward. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency to Border Patrol, consistently ranks near the bottom of an annual federal survey of employee satisfaction.

Even under Trump, Border Patrol struggled to recruit. Now throw in Biden attacking federal agents publicly- you think tons of qualified people are going to do the job?

Border Patrol is loosening its grooming and dress standards to allow agents to have tattoos and wear different hairstyles amid a recruiting crisis, according to an internal agency memo obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Agents will now be allowed to have tattoos or brandings on the hands and neck, according to the Sept. 29 memo, which Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens sent to agency leadership. The agency has been increasing efforts to recruit more agents to the force by offering thousands of dollars in sign-on bonuses.

A DCUM poster isn't going to be able to chase people through the TX desert mid-summer while wearing full gear

Nor would a DCUM poster move their family to those isolated and desolate areas of the country. There is nothing there they would consider civilization. None of the standards of living they consider necessary exist in those areas. Just moving to a border town would cause a DCUM poster to shrivel into a ball and cry and rage until they were allowed to flee back to their creature comforts and private schools and white upper class neighborhoods. The only Mexican/border things DCUM wants is the cheap labor (house cleaners, nannies, landscapers/yard caretakers) and occasional takeout. Living there, yeah right. I lived in a border town for 3 years. I could barely take it and I am nowhere near as high maintenance and snobby as the average DCUM poster.

Where do you live now, PP?

NY and Ft. Worth.

DP, but hi from Flower Mound!

Hello, beautiful place to live!

This is total BS. The border patrol liked Trump because he let them do their job and he enforced the border.

And by "Trump let them do their job" you mean:

“Under the Trump administration, the Border Patrol, a once obscure federal agency, has been thrust into the center of a rancorous debate over immigration policy, facing intense criticism over the squalid conditions in the agency’s overcrowded detention facilities, a string of migrant deaths and revelations that some 9,500 current and former agents were part of a private Facebook group that included vulgar and misogynistic content.

They don't want the "deal" because they know it's not a deal.

Allowing 5000 migrants in each day is ridiculous.

Biden could stop this crisis TODAY with existing resources and authorities. They are asking for $ to add administrative judges and administrative personnel in order to process more immigrants into the country. That isn't a border control deal, thats just doubling down on letting people into the country. Most people can see this. To the average person, hearing that the border will only be shut after 5000 per day sounds nutty.

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.

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.

Patrol agents on horseback did not whip migrants, but used force and inappropriate language, investigators say

Patrol agents on horseback did not strike Haitian migrants at the Mexican border last year, though there were “failures at multiple levels,” including a lack of supervision and inappropriate use of language during the incident, federal investigators found.

At the time, a Department of Homeland Security official called the footage “extremely troubling,” while then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki deemed it “horrific.”
“It’s outrageous. I promise you those people will pay,” Biden told reporters, referring to the agents in the video, following the release of the footage last year.

The nine-month investigation, which culminated in a 511-page report by the department, found no evidence that agents used horse reins to strike people during an “unprecedented surge in migration” of about 15,000 Haitians near the international bridge. However, agents acted in unprofessional and dangerous ways, including an instance in which an agent “maneuvered his horse unsafely near a child,” investigators wrote. The names of the agents involved were redacted to protect their privacy.

The same agent directed denigrating language toward a migrant, yelling “Hey! You use your women? This is why your country’s s***, you use your women for this,” the report said.

The biggest problem is that the border patrol agent was not a biologist. He had no right to determine who was a woman that day. How awful. I hope he was jailed for that crime.

This is the definition of grasping at straws.

Completely agree. Few things in life could be as demoralizing as doing a tough, dangerous job in an inhospitable area and having your president (who is known for not doing much of anything) ACTIVELY working to subvert your efforts.

Why do you think it’s to process more people into the country? That sounds like some Alex Jones level insanity.

Biden tried to limit asylum seekers who could enter everyday. A federal judge stopped him. Why? Because this is not a presidential power.

Because I can read. The funding request explains what the money will be used for. I agree, its as bonkers as an Alex Jones story. That should be an indication of how far gone they are.

The border patrol is exactly right.

And, retired intelligence experts agree with them.

[Anonymous]

Biden refuses to call in the National Guard to help Border Patrol.

[Anonymous]

“Caravan II: Electric Boogaloo.” Republicans have been crying about immigration since I was born, and the country hasn’t collapsed yet.

It’s their fault more isn’t being done. If they didn’t cry wolf so often, more people would take them seriously. Sad, really.

No credible, honest civil servant would post some sh-- like this. Sorry. I've lived through more dysfunctional presidents, and their crony political appointees, than I car to have lived through and worked with. You do your job and push back. You don't act like cowards and toddlers who cannot control their impulses.

This behavior is revolting but typical of today's republicans.

This. It’s stunningly unprofessional, but that agency doesn’t have a great reputation. It’s not surprising.

The GOP has no interest in passing any meaningful border reform. They will lose it as a wedge issue like what happened with Roe. It’s not rocket science.
