Border Patrol to fire up to 5K agents over vaccine mandate

U.S. Border Patrol plans to fire agents who don’t receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to reports on Friday, the agency is looking to enforce Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate by the end of November. They said those who refuse to do so without an approved religious or medical exemption could face action up to termination.

Critics have said this would only further complicate the crisis at the southern border, where over 1.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed in 2021 alone. Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs (R) said he believes as many as 5,000 agents could separate from Border Patrol over the issue.

“Think of how many people, like on the border, Border Patrol. How many of these Border Patrol agents are going to separate? I’ve been told it could be as many as 5,000,” said Biggs. “And if that many were to leave, as porous as our border already is, you’d truly have a national security crisis along your border.”

CBP released the latest numbers for border illegal alien encounters.

192,001 in September.

Totaling the Fiscal Year 2021 numbers to 1,734,686.

This is the highest level ever recorded.#BidensBorderCrisis

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the last date to receive the vaccine before being terminated is Nov. 8.

“DHS is actively working to ensure compliance with President Biden’s executive order requiring that all federal employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 by November 22, except in limited circumstances where an exception is required by law,” said CBP Media Relations Headquarters Branch Chief Justin Long.

And still no clear information on whether - and how - testing and vaccination is being done on the thousands of illegal immigrants being transported all over our country.

Pfizer doesn’t even require a vax and is allowing exemptions. Thousands are coming into our country without a vax. Chinese students are not required to vax. There seems to be a whole lot of inconsistencies.

If I were a member of the Border Patrol, I would have been first in line to get vaccinated when the vaccines became available for my age group.

Not everyone trusts the vaccine, and I certainly won’t take anything that had an aborted baby involved. Besides, it doesn’t work

One question: Do you support mandates?

For some workers. I have no problem with federal employees being required to get vaccinated. I also think the federal government is well within its rights to require transportation workers engaged in interstate commerce to be vaccinated.

The awesome thing about this is that if something happens to your family involving Brandon's illegal immigrants, there are now actual people who can be held accountable, not just faceless bureaucrats.  winking face

Governor Abbott already said that if that happened, he would give them a job at the Texas border.

In other news, 200,000 illegals cross the border with no screening. They are effectively a bio-weapon and Congress encourages this.

But Congress is exempt.

And the illegal aliens the officer should be arresting are exempt.

Maybe if Biden just picked up a gun and started shooting everyone people would understand what is going on here.
