I really do not know, we elect them to fulfill our ideology, then they do what they want. By the time it filters down to the department heads it is 180 degrees out.

I really want to thank you for your post.

Because I think it is an important topic, could you please use paragraphs, next time?

Your presentation is begging people to skip over important parts of the (large) paragraph.

I applaud you and stand beside you in your desire to perform your duties. As a former Border (Patrolman) in the 1950's and a Customs Inspector retired 1989 I realize how dangerous and depressing it is for your agents to be under this type of diress.



We have to continue to awaken the American public to this situation and rally their support. I believe that it will happen. Additionally we have to elect good people to represent us in the Congress and the Presidency. Then that determination and support must be instilled in the leaders of the government agencies charged with enforcing the laws. From all i gather the new Homeland Security oversite of the new ICE is a disaster that has created poor morale and resulted in confusion and inefficiency.

Unfortunately we don't seem to have that support in our present President. As a life long Republican I am upset with both parties.
