Border Patrol's next chief discusses shift away from Trump-era policies
ABC 'News' via MSN ^ | 6/26/21

During his first one-on-one interview since this week being named the next chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz outlined his leadership vision for a federal law enforcement agency that continues to face challenges and controversy.

The incoming chief does not plan to make drastic changes, he said, but his appointment indicates a critical leadership shakeup at a time when the Biden administration is attempting to reverse course from the prior administration on immigration enforcement policies.

Asked about internal tension between career agents and the incoming administration, Ortiz acknowledged differences in ideas and approaches but stopped short of calling it a problem.

"So I think with any transition, there's always going to be a bit of dynamics associated with that transition where people are trying to get to know each other and trying to get to know the mission and trying to make any changes or adjustments," Ortiz said.

The incoming chief spoke to ABC News on the banks of the Rio Grande river in his home town of Del Rio, Texas. Ortiz served as chief of the Del Rio sector in 2019 before his promotion to deputy chief of the agency. A career agent with extensive experience on the border and overseas, Ortiz oversaw missions in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he trained and assisted the Afghan government in border security.

Let me guess.

1.). Protect the Border, and you are a racist.
2.). Refuse to protect the Border, and you are not a racist.

Stop me if I’m wrong about the illegitimate “government” and this Clown World we are all forced to live in.

Don’t forget they will be handing out vouchers for free education unto PhD levels;
free medical and dental for life;
free housing for life;
free monthly stipends - amounts dependent on family size and need;
voter registration (democrat party) along with prefilled out votes - to be updated every election;
free cars of their choice;
free food of their choice for life.

And it will only take a modest tax hike to allow them to reach their dreams.

Ain’t America grand!

“Differences of opinion” like a drug cartel assuming control of the police and calling it hashing our differences.

And that is why he was picked.

He’s just like the liberal Sheriff in SanFran and other big cities. Willing to do the bidding of the Left because none of those policies will effect him.

New policy additions:
Stand at strict attention facing North
Issue all orders in Mandarin
Wear eye protection (blinders at the very least; blindfolds best) at all times
Solicit donations which be sent to either the DNC or Dominion Voting Systems Inc. (George Soros has enough money already)

Not sure how y’all have survived this long as it is!

This ‘white girl’ has made it her Life’s Work to pay as little in taxes to Mother Government as humanly possible, since her first taxable paycheck at age 15. ;)

Starve The Beast!

It’s a shame, really. There’s such a mind-boggling amount of ‘Other People’s Money’ for Mother Government to still go through! We’re broke, technically, but the cash sure keeps flowing from our pockets into hers!

In other words, from enforcing the law to ignoring the law.

I can foresee the founding of a new science of “Managed Disaster and Catastrophe” or “Bidenology”, which could well aid the Biden Administration in their quest in avoiding accountability and blame for the coming wholesale devastation, societal breakdown, and economic collapse that will result from the president’s economic and immigration policies.

The Border Patrol head’s theme might be characterized as “undoing the Trump Era” as failure and idiotic policy initiatives undermine American sovereignty and destroy the lives of millions of American citizens. When reached for comment, President Biden said “Get out of here you lying Tuskegee Pony Soldier... and get off my lawn!”

“Border Patrol’s next chief discusses shift away from Trump-era policies:

The Border Patrol’s new policy will be to provide illegal aliens helpful maps, food, water, transportation inland and cell phones preprogrammed with telephone numbers to get welfare and lawyers who get paid by tax dollars to represent illegals.

The mission is now to process them in as quickly as possible.
Cornyn, Grahamnesty, Rubio, Hoeven and more are lined up to give them amnesty.

“where he trained and assisted the Afghan government in border security.”

How does he feel about enforcing an Afghani border but not enforcing the US border?
