Americans want Border Patrol agents to do their jobs. But their job is to keep our borders safe, not menace rallies for the president’s opposition.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 15 episode of “Morning Joe.”
U.S. Border Patrol agents made a show of force at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting rally in Los Angeles on Thursday. “Do you think it’s coincidental? Donald Trump and his minions — Tom Homan, tough guy — clearly decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location to advance ICE arrests,” the governor told the crowd at the Japanese American National Museum.
That an American president sent masked agents to a rival’s political rally is quite obviously an ominous sign for our country, but politically, it also just looks stupid for Republicans. This plays right into Newsom’s hands, it plays right into the Democratic Party’s hands, and it does the exact opposite of what the administration would want to do, which is to show that immigration forces in this country have not been politicized by Trump.
Of course, Border Patrol has every right to do its job; Americans want it to do its job. But that job is to keep our borders safe, not show up at rallies for the president’s opposition.
It’s not American. It’s not a sight that Americans want to see.
Displays like this won’t help Trump, especially when he’s already politically struggling. Right now, polls show that while most Americans agree with the president on the issue of immigration and believe that the United States should crack down on people coming into this country illegally, his approval rating on the issue has slipped.

who knew that morning joe was so CONCERNED about poor, “stupid” Donald Trump that he feels compelled to save Donald Trump?
be that as it may, the best advice that President Trump can take regarding morning joe is to do the exact OPPOSITE of whatever morning joe says President Trump should do ...
Intern plays head into congressman’s desk
That headline smells like panic.
Joe is a moron
You would think trump had Dwaine arrested.
Translation: Trump’s winning.
Joe needs to interview the Baileys on Morning Joe!
It looks like some serious caca if you’re illegal
“”f course, Border Patrol has every right to do its job; Americans want it to do its job. But that job is to keep our borders safe, not show up at rallies for the president’s opposition.
It’s not American. It’s not a sight that Americans want to see.””
Earth to Joe: It actually IS American and it’s exactly what most Americans want to see...because it’s exactly what most Americans voted for last November.
What is “not” American is seeing hoards of non-Americans committing crimes, littering homeless areas and draining the welfare system, which is taking away crucial resources for LEGAL American citizens. Your hypocrisy, along with your stupidity, reeks... as usual... Joe.
Since presumably those attending the event at the CA capitol are legal residence, how is it ‘menacing’ to have law enforcement of any kind attend? It surely should reduce the degree to which illegals are hired to pad crowd attendance at protests.
Scarborough frantically runs around looking for rakes to step on!
Doesn’t this Morning Joe character work for the Democrats?
These are not the droids you are looking for.
Doesn’t Joe have a murdered intern to answer for?
