Wrong Kind of Crackdown at Border
Townhall.com ^ | September 29, 2021 | John and Andy Schlafly

“I promise you, those people will pay,” resident Biden declared about images from our country’s southern border near Del Rio, Texas. “There is an investigation underway right now and there will be consequences.”

“Horses running them over, people being strapped,” Biden continued, with rising indignation. “It sends the wrong message around the world. It’s simply not who we are.”

Not to be outdone, Vice President Kamala Harris declared that the images evoked “some of the worst moments of our history where that kind of behavior has been used against the indigenous people of our country, has been used against African Americans during times of slavery.” She warned sternly: “There needs to be consequences.”

What were the images that roused the president to a fury, “outraged” the vice president, and “horrified” the secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas? Merely photos of U.S. Border Patrol agents mounted on horseback, using reins to control their animals in the hilly terrain where over 20,000 migrants had just crossed the Rio Grande.

Even liberal CNN wondered how the agents could be treated fairly by an investigation to be conducted at the “highest levels,” as Secretary Mayorkas promised, after the president had already condemned them.

Biden should be cracking down on the illegal aliens crossing the border, not the good agents trying to stem the tide of lawlessness. Yet Biden vows to punish agents on horseback for using reins to control the government’s own horses amid a chaotic flow of illegal aliens.

Biden’s open border policy has resulted in 14,000 illegals camped under the international bridge connecting Texas to Mexico, while tens of thousands more are on the way to join them. There is no Covid testing for illegals without severe symptoms, while law-abiding American citizens are subjected to dehumanizing weekly testing as punishment for declining the experimental Covid vaccine.

These hordes of illegals are supposed to remain in Mexico while their applications for admission are considered, under a wise policy established by President Trump and reaffirmed last month by a 6-3 vote of the U.S. Supreme Court. Ken Paxton, the Trump-endorsed Texas Attorney General, filed a new motion last Thursday to enforce the federal court decision to restore the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols.

“I think they’re just trying to keep ignoring federal law, keep ignoring the Supreme Court ruling,” Ken Paxton said about the Biden Administration. It doesn’t care “about all the orders from the courts, including the Supreme Court.”

By vowing to punish border patrol agents who protect us against foreign intruders, Biden sends the wrong message that every other law enforcement officer should stand down. Why would any official risk his own job and perhaps even his freedom if Biden is going to prosecute them afterwards for enforcing the law?

The reported numbers of illegals are daunting. They include the 20,000 Haitians who recently crossed at Del Rio; 100,000 Afghans, whose resettlement Nancy Pelosi just funded with $6.3 billion; and more than 1,000,000 illegals who have surged across the southern border since Biden began occupying the White House.

These numbers can change election outcomes, which seems to be exactly what the Democrats want. Many of the refugees are being resettled in battleground states, where the margin of difference in a pivotal election can be merely a few thousand votes.

The Greyhound bus company has been punished by a $2.2 million liability for allowing federal agents to board its buses looking for illegal migrants. That was the amount of the settlement announced Monday by Washington’s leftwing attorney general, Bob Ferguson, who brags that he sued President Trump 83 times in four years.

Why are there so many illegals in Washington state, which is about as far from the southern border as any state in the continental United States? The buses were traveling from Spokane to Portland, Oregon, and border patrol agents were finding illegal aliens on those buses.

No search warrant was needed because Greyhound, which owned the buses, had consented. Cooperating with the police is not something for which anyone should be fined, and law-abiding citizens riding the buses had nothing to worry about.

Now those illegals will receive a payment from the settlement, despite being illegally on a bus, while Greyhound is being compelled not to allow federal agents on its buses to enforce the law. That restriction will encourage more unlawful immigration.

Greyhound’s private property, like that of ranchers near the border, is being taken by the insatiable demands of the open border zealots. Greyhound should be able to consent to searches of its buses for illegals, many of whom are dangerous to others as confirmed by a report of 96 sexual assaults against migrants in Panama in May and June.

resident Biden created this border crisis, and should not be scapegoating the border patrol. The crackdown should be against illegals, not officers doing their job.

Nope..... The people who will pay are the Citizens who are footing
most of the bills this county incurs. True non citizens pay for things
but citizens are the ones most held responsible. JMO

Story is already dead b/c Democrats.

Still...The border agents will be fired and horses will still be forbidden at the border - horses can go where all terrain vehicles can’t.

Abbott will hire them - and the horses too.

Our governor Abbott will get them back since he is for a hell of governor's race.

In Texas, it is the Governor's responsibility is to control the borders and it is not a D.C. resonsibility but we do have a dumb ass running around with 1/2 brain and he is BIDEN.

We need more Horses and BP folks in the Del Rio section since the residents of Texas are being robbed by the Haitians. Isn't that special. Not!!!

What is not being reported by the MSM is that the Texas residents have killed at least one Haitian since a group of them tried to steal them in broad daylight inside their house. I am telling you it takes a lot of nerve of these Haitians.

We need more fences like President Trump was building all around the Del Rio area.

Do you have a source for that story?

Nothing in the media, of course, local or national - and that is an important story.

Along with the crimes the Afghan refugees are already committing - attacking security guards, raping little boys, abusing women.

The Afghan “refugee” arrested last week in connection with child sex abuse victimized two boys, federal prosecutors allege.

The boys Bahrullah Noori molested are 12 and 14, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

Police arrested Noori at Fort McCoy with another Afghan refugee, Mohammed Imaad, who is accused of choking his wife.

I can't think of worse refugees than Haitians or Afghans. Austria paid a heavy price for importing Afghans and now their jails are full of Afghan criminals - as ours will be as well.

If we are going to have open borders we should take advantage of this and encourage South African farmers to cross the southern border and settle in the midwest. Gets them out of a hellhole and they tend to be hard workers. In this case, South Africa would be sending us their best.

Wondering exactly what Trump’s secret thoughts are about Biden as the cause of most of this.

Partner, I think President Trump wanted us to have this fence from San Diego, California to Brownsville, Texas.

Biden is going to be a really bad omen for the DemonRat party. A lot of democrats are coming to our side.

Biden will be toast.

President Trump will be elected in 2024.

I agree that South African farmers are under a bad set of circumstances in South Africa.

Most of the blacks in South Africa came from other parts outside of South Africa. Someone said that these outside Blacks make up a huge % of South Africans now.

South Africa could become a dead country.

Some of the Haitians attacked a house in the U.S. in Del Rio and one of these Haitians is dead since they picked on this lady in Del Rio who had a shot gun and shot the Haitian to death since he was stealing from this woman.

This lady who lives in Del Rio got a surprise this week since this lady had a shot gun and I do not blame her one bit for this.

The MSM does not want us to read stories like these.

Biden is a complete joke!
