Seems the “leadership” at Homeland Security is playing games again while the rank and file are the ones being shot at and killed in the field.

"Dever’s charges were vigorously denied by a commander with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection."

This commander with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection should be named and his record and that of his men be made public....word on the desert is the U.S. C.& B.P. are known for their lack of integrity. Our H.L.S. has the same reputation.

With the exception of Dupnik, our Arizona Sheriffs are men of law and order and exceptionally honest.

Sounds like the Barry administration wants to make sure there are lots of recreational drugs around before the upcoming elections.

Sad part is that the GOP before NaziPolitano was doing the same things....even wrongfully convicting BP agents based on the word of Illegal Alien Drug Dealers.

Anyone who is blocking the securing of our borders, and/or blocking the deportation of any Illegal Alien...is comitting treason.

Britain tried this. Arrest fewer people and claim there’s less crime!

“The claim that Border Patrol supervisors have been instructed to underreport or manipulate our statistics is unequivocally false,”

The “claim” is that you ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Nobody accused you of “underreporting”!

You are simply not stopping, arresting, and returning illegals in the first damn place!

So, border agents were told “don’t catch them”?

Sounds like time for the militia to assemble on the border.
