Border Patrol agents were ordered to stonewall requests about how many dangerous aliens they were forced to allow in. Where is Kamala Harris to answer a few questions?

According to The Center Square:

Retired San Diego Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke said he was instructed by the Biden administration to not publicize arrests of illegal border crossers identified as “Significant Interest Aliens” with ties to terrorism.

Heitke testified before a U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on Wednesday about how Biden-Harris “open border policies have undermined our safety and security.”

“We had an exponential increase in Significant Interest Aliens … with significant ties to terrorism,” illegally entering in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection San Diego Sector, he said.

Prior to the Biden-Harris administration, the sector averaged 10 to 15 SIAs per year. “Once word was out that the border was far easier to cross, San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, way over 100 SIAs in 2023 and more than that this year,” he said.

“At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIA’s or mention any of the arrests," Heitke testified. "The administration was trying to convince the public that there was no threat at the border.”

His testimony came as the greatest number of individuals on the U.S. federal terrorist watch list have been apprehended under the Biden-Harris administration of 1,856 since...

How do you know he didn’t try hard enough? He’s a Border Patrol Agent. He at least tried harder than you.

Mebbe hire some border patrol agents from Poland? I think they are the right-thinking country that just issued a “shoot “ order . A minister justified it by pointing out that if someone jumped the queue in Gatwick a security agent has shoot to kill orders.
So, if someone is illegally crossing a border, shoot.

Personally, I suggest mines.

Let’s see. If I don’t do my job I would have gotten fired. Did he really do his?
