Border Patrol agents have been reduced to “professional child care providers” for illegal immigrants, warming burritos and babysitting the families and unaccompanied children who are surging across the border at an increasing rate, the agents’ frustrated chief told Congress on Wednesday.

Chief Mark Morgan, who was tapped to lead the agency in June, said he has had to pull hundreds of his agents from patrolling against drugs and illegal border crossers in Arizona and California and shipped them to Texas, where they would be manning what amounts to day care holding centers, stocking baby powder and placing requisition orders for baby wipes.

“Agents, one of their jobs during the day, is to make sure the burritos that are being provided are being warmed properly,” he told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

"Mexican officials are helping some illegal immigrants reach the U.S. Thousands of Haitians who have been living in Brazil and Chile since the 2010 earthquake in their home country have streamed north this year, and Mexican authorities issue them 20-day travel permits — enough time to cross from south to north and reach the U.S. border, where they can demand asylum."

Ah, under Obama the Manchurian Candidate, the U.S. Border Patrol has become nothing more than Taco Bell.

Guess they’ll recycle the “Run for the Border” theme what with Obama’s stand-down of the drones.

And yet, U.S. liberals cannot figure this man out ..... SMH

No matter whose they are, children need to be cared for. Once the WALL is in place, they’ll be cared for on their own side of the border. In the meantime, give them the memory of a kind interaction. That memory may serve us well in the future. Or not, but it is still the right thing to do.
