U.S. Border Patrol agents reacted ecstatically to news that President-elect Donald Trump will return to the White House after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

“We have hope. We can take care of our country and our citizens. Do what we took an oath to do. Bring pride back to our agency,” a senior Border Patrol agent in Texas wrote in a text message Wednesday morning. “We felt like we were forced to turn our backs on our country! No more!!!”...

Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council union, told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that he expects the incoming Trump-Vance administration to end the use of “catch and release,” or the automatic release of illegal immigrants into the country....

“We look forward to making crime illegal again. The men and women who protect the nation’s borders are excited that we now have the strongest advocate for border security on our side (again),” said Perez...

Back to border patrol and no more being Greeters

No need to wait, begin enforcing the LAW now.
If Jo and the Ho don't like it , too bad.
Any agents fired can be reinstated with back pay.
Maybe a sickout until 1/20/25 is in order?
At least that would deny the incoming illegals the pretense of legitimacy, their phones, and gift cards.
Let the local Militia handle it?(I am sure they would LOVE to!)

I have read that there have been several suicides of Border Agents during the Biden era. Not so surprising, considering how the agents were devalued and schemed against by their own federal employers.

I would be something to see
when all of the border check
stations are in full
operation again.
New Mexico, with it’s far
left leaning govenor, has
far too long allowed drugs
and illegal alien iinvaders
run our border with impunity.

It only will matter if:

The Senate agrees to a House plan to use DHS, DOJ, EPA, and Education funds to complete the walls across the Southern and Northern borders...

The Senate agrees to a House plan to fire 68,00 armed IRS agents and use the money for 20,000 new Border Patrol, etc agents to help with the mass deportation of 30-million filthy, diseased, migrant-invader vermin by end of 2025...

Both pf these House plans had better be the first and only business during the first months of the new administration...

Hope

That’s the one word I would use to summarize the upcoming administration.

Hope for the country.
Hope for the people.
and Hope for the world.

And hope for future generations.

I told my kids that I was voting for their futures.

The wife and I are in our mid 60’s but they are in their late 20’s and working all kinds of hours just to buy food and gas.
