Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass expressed disappointment and concern Friday with Hispanics joining Border Patrol – arguing they’re only doing it for the paycheck.
“Well, in a way, I think it’s sad,” Bass said of a CNN report on Border Patrol’s new recruits, many of which are Hispanic.
“I think that those Border Patrol agents are going to have a difficult time when they’re out in the field and they see what actually happens in real life separate from their training,” the mayor told “The Situation Room” host Wolf Blitzer.
The report Bass was asked to respond to included interviews with Hispanic agents and recruits explaining how they respond to critics who say they are arresting their “own kind” or “own blood.”
“They didn‘t come in the right way. So, they aren‘t my kind,” 20-year-old Border Patrol recruit Juan Peralta told CNN correspondent David Culver.
Border Patrol Agent Claudio Herrera explained that he has no qualms with carrying out his duties.
“I’m protecting my community,” the proud agent said. “I’m protecting both sides of the border.”
More than half of Border Patrol agents are Hispanic, according to federal government data.

LA Mayor Karen “Mouth Like A” Bass proves once again that Lieberals are the biggest racists.
How about a march of the deplorables??
Sweetie, read the room, it’s 1st and 2nd generation “hispanics” who are the primary victims of illegals. They want the line cutters removed more than anyone.
Which is smarter:
(A) LA Mayor Karen Bass;
(B) Big Mouth Billy Bass
For those who may not remember:
Fish face needs to be reminded that Mexicans died fighting for freedom at the Alamo because they didn’t like what Mexico had to offer. Nothing has changed.
"The Imitation Room with Woof Bitcher"
Bass was a plank member of CALIFORNIA'S Venceremos Brigade run by Castro out of Havana back in the day.. Her continuing mission is to destroy America. Woof Bitcher should provide the correct context. https://adnamerica.com/en/california/karen-bass-and-cubas-venceremos-brigade-controversial-history-resurfaces-amid-criticism
Yep
More identity politics from the left. She is too dense to realize how racist she sounds with that take. She assumes that all Hispanics favor illegal immigration and doesn’t seem to realize that people who have gone through the process of immigration in the LEGAL manner are as upset about illegal immigration as those of us who were born here. She also seems to be suggesting that only certain federal laws need to be enforced. Apparently, federal immigration laws can be ignored, but try to imagine if people were protesting and attacking IRS agents as they were trying to enforce federal tax law. I doubt she would be supporting those protestors. She and her fellow democrats would be telling us that “no one is above the law”. Anyone impeding the enforcement of federal tax law would be sitting in prison for a very long time with the full support of radical leftists such as Bass.
The newcomers are competition and a threat to out legacy illegal alien community who ware largely from Mexico
After Blacks, the Mexican are the most racist people in America. And they despise the people South of THEIR border and consider them lower forms of life.
Pretty much everyone who could and would leave Mexico had already jumped the border in to the US long before Biden's invasion so the new generation of Biden illegals are mostly not from Mexico.and Mexicans not only do not feel the least bit of kinship with them , they actively dispose and look down on them.
More importantly, they see the newcomers as a threat to their status in the US and resent the fact that all the government goodies and swag is being lavished on the the invaders and draining welfare money for them If the Republicans cannot exploit this, shame on them.
Yep..she’s that f’n stupid.
Without using her name, what would AI say about a person with her psychological profile?
Agent Herrera, your efforts are appreciated and all the best in your career!
“Swing and a miss”
No doubt.
No, she’s in need of a helicopter 🚁 ride. Devout communist
What we are up against. .
Yeah that’s right cuz you grifters are stealing it all.
Such a racist Pig. Racism is so groovy when the Democrats do it.
How can so many democrat governors, mayors and congress critters be so ignorant and stoopid?
Wonder how she feels about the whites fighting the Civil War.
