Fox News Reporter Mocked For Wearing Protective Vest at Border...But He Had a Good Reason

With his camera, Acosta showed his Twitter following that there was complete peace and quiet at the section of the border he was touring. In doing so, he unwittingly proved the effectiveness of a border wall.

It looked like a much different scene when Fox News reporter Lawrence Jones III traveled down to the border to film a live segment this week.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (shocker) and a few media figures mocked Jones for his attire, accusing him of making the border seem more dangerous than it is.

Jones had a simple explanation. The border patrol made him wear the thing.

My thought as well-I say send the clueless bartender to the very same place Lawrence Jones was-in the middle of the night, and without a protective vest and see how that works out...

Leftists want you dead and they really do not care how it happens. If you die in your mothers womb, if you die from assisted suicide, if you die because a militarized policeman barged through your door and kills you, or if you die from starvation because a court ordered a hospital to stop feeding you, it does not matter to them. They just want you dead.

The University of Texas, El Paso, has closed its campus twice in the past few years due to bullets from gang violence from south of the border hitting their buildings.

About those illegals, look what I found - https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/

The President should order them to go down to the border for a ride-along. After a night of climbing through thorns and sticker bushes and cactus, getting crap thrown at them, and shot at or rocks thrown at them, their eyes might be opened. But if they want to make fun of a black reporter, do it at their own peril.

TRUE FACT.

In my TXARNG days (”DAZE”), I was the State’s Security Officer for all the ARNG armories, including about 25 buildings within a few miles of the international border.

Fwiw, I always wore my vest when I was “way down there”, as I preferred that the vest stop a bullet, rather than something behind me & after it passed trough my tender body.

Yours, TMN78247

The president cannot order congress critters to do anything. I wish this president could order congress critters around; especially I wish he could tell them how to vote!

Looks like ICE has become an appendage of the human traffickers, working hand and glove with the human traffickers in distributing migrants all over the United States. Drudge headline states that 17,000 migrants were settled by ICE into the United States in 12 days. Why is the number of migrants detained looked upon as something to crow about when it only speeds up the illegals pathway into the United States.

From that one pool, how many American will be murdered, raped, destroyed?

Fox News Reporter Mocked For Wearing Protective Vest at Border...But He Had a Good Reason

Partner, the present Southern Border with Mexico is dangerous right now and will continue to be dangerous until we build that 30' High Southern Border Wall all along our Southern Border except maybe some parts of the Big Bend Area in Texas.

The Drug Cartels control the borders and they should not control the border.

The America Hating Piece of Work Obama had orders to our Border Patrol on our conduct. Unbelievable!!!

Mocked for wearing a vest?

Heck, I’d be carrying a rifle.

WTF is it with even Townhall not using the honorific “President” when referring to President Trump? TWICE in the final paragraph!

I find it annoying and disrespectful.
