Huge number of border agent candidates failing DHS polygraphs, union suggests it’s intentional
Just the News ^ | 5/14/23 | John Solomon

Posted on 05/15/2023 12:00:37 AM PDT by CFW

More than half of the job candidates seeking to become U.S. border patrol agents are failing the Homeland Security Department’s polygraph, though many passed such tests in other jobs, a pattern that is alarming some in Congress and leading a prominent union to suggest something sinister is happening.

Brandon Judd, president of National Border Patrol Council union, told Just the News that half to two-thirds of applicants continue to fail the lie detector test, and it is crippling the Customers and Border Protection (CBP) agency’s ability to keep staffed with the ongoing border crisis.

"They're failing an awful lot of qualified candidates,” Judd told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Friday, the day the Trump-era Title 42 policy expired, ushering a new wave of illegal migrants across the southern border. "And the reason why we know that they're failing them is because these individuals have already passed other polygraph tests, or they fail ours and then they go pass a state polygraph test."

If most of the border patrol job applicants fail the tests required for the job, we will have a perpetual shortage of agents.

Mission Accomplished.

Who is failing “by huge amounts” under the Biden-Obama-Chinese Communist Party bureaucracy?

Married, white males who speak English and regularly go to church?

Or transgendered “minorities” and People of Color who have BLM degrees and the “right skin color”?

/not really sarcasm

If the questions haven’t changed, then the quality of applicants has gone downhill.

Does the Covid-19 “vaccination” have any effects wrt polygraph testing? Would there be some advantage to easily separate vaxxed/unvaxxed in job applications by a machine test of some kind? Could there be some advantage for border agents being vaxxed/unvaxxed? Does anyone know if there is an easy test to determine vaccination status? Just wondering about issues at the fringe.

“Makes you wonder who DHS is working for.”

NOTHING can make me wonder who they work for.
EVERY “security” move made in that era serves the Deep State.

We’re well and truly fooked, and it’s likely permanent.

I suspect they are failing prospects who want to control the border.

Uh.. redistribute the population. Is this like freedom cities :)
I would say that more than 70 percent of the population, including children, are on a federal monthly check, employed by the gov, or receiving state beanies that come from the gov.
If you throw in big healthcare, which is paid primarily by CMS, it’s probably 90%.

DHS should strap that lying piece of filth Mayorkas to the lie detector, he’d set the machine on fire with all of his lies.

Brandon is FOS. Look at all of the “recruits” who can’t cut it in the military. The U.S. military moving towards being made up entirely of illegal immigrants. But hey! It’s a government check so they don’t care.

The quality of those administering the tests may have gone down.

Hm?.....Are white males failing at a disproportionate rate? ( Just wondering.)

The democrats don’t require a polygraph test to join their party.

Any questions
