Tea Party Patriots Action Co-founder Jenny Beth Martin traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border to chat one-on-one with some border patrol agents who are fed up with the federal government and are taking matters into their own hands.
Martin shared footage of her walk and talk along the border with Zach Taylor, a retired border patrol officer and current chairman of Chairman of National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers.
Zach Taylor Interview - Send them Back
Martin and Taylor walked along the Bryan Terry Border Patrol Station in Bisbee, Arizona, named after the border patrol agent who lost his life in a gun fight with a drug cartel. Martin said a similar attack occurred the very morning of their interview on June 12. A border agent was shot multiple times but was saved thanks to his bulletproof vest.
Taylor wasted no time sounding off on Washington's "tone deaf" policies. They somehow keep making the problem worse.
"The whole reason that this push to come to the United States is becoming so violent is because we are turning into a lawless society," Taylor explained. "There is no downside to violating the law. You can come here illegally, you can act like you’ve been here for 10 years. You can say you’re a DACA person and that’s all you got to do and you get signed up."
He offered a detailed solution - one he said would strike fear in anyone thinking of entering our country illegally. Let the agents conduct a biography interview of any undocumented person at the border, see if they qualify, and take them directly to an immigration judge, he proposed. Taylor predicted that 80 percent or more would not make the cut. At that point, we should fly them back to home country on military aircraft. That way, their comrades "can see 300 people getting off an aircraft that says, 'U.S. Air Force.'"
"They will figure out the game is over," Taylor concluded.
Martin also spoke with Mark Dannels, the sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona. He shared how he and other law enforcement officials in the area are not messing around when it comes to community safety.
"We’ve sent a strong message to cartels you will not be doing business in this county," the sheriff said .
Where the federal government won’t prosecute, they will - including juveniles. It may sound "cold," he said, but those kids are safer in his hands than the cartels.
Both Taylor and Dannels agreed that amnesty will get them nowhere fast.
Washington has been "dancing all around the problem since 1986," Taylor said. It's time to make the final move.
I prefer that they be afraid to try to come here in the first place. Seeking across our southern border should be as dangerous as sneaking across the 38th parallel.
I’ve stated “landmines” for the past 10 years here. No guards needed. Just a clean up crew.
I agree with seeing a judge within 48 hours. Isn’t that why Sessions deployed all those judges to the border ?
There are plenty in storage.
Hanging dead coyotes from the fence posts seems to help the coyote problem. Just a thought.
That.
And Tiger pits. Punji stakes. Razor wire. Lots of it. Machineguns. High voltage. Big, nasty dogs. Armed drones.
The Air Force does not have enough aircraft to sustain current operations let alone fly hundreds of thousands of illegals back over the border. We need to re-implement Operation Wetback, round up the illegals, and then put them on some old civilian ships to drop them off somewhere on the coast of Mexico.
Mexico is neck-deep in helping the dregs of their society, as well as Central American citizens, get across our border. make them deal with the mess they have deliberately created.
Landmines, random artillery brigade level Time on Target, tac air dropping napalm, and daily flights of Apache gunships.
No. Drop them somewhere OFF the coast of Mexico. They can swim, right? At least, wade through the surf. Right?
Put them on ships and use them for torpedo and Harpoon practice.
If the Tea Party really wants to fix this then show up en mass at the holding centers, surround the centers and make all kinds of noise in protest that they are not being deported.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Yep, a little gentle handling would go a long way towards determent.
Remove the bait (benefits), and the seagulls don’t show up.
Another problem is liberal advocacy groups. They have done a great deal to 'muddy the waters' often citing precedent instead of laws.
With court challenges involved, I don't believe Trump could get it fixed in two terms. Add to that the fact many of our elected leaders don't want it fixed or want immigration enforcement to become even more lax and it's a long uphill battle.
Re-establishing immigration enforcement is going to be a long process and liberals are going to fight and challenge every law.
Not that we have the political will, but if we told Mexico that allowing invasion from their territory is an act of war, this stuff would stop tomorrow
To protect the returned air craft it might be necessary to have some Marines, lots of Marines present
There are strong precedents for US Marines in Central America. It is past time for Marines to invade and for national security put a stop to the outward migration at the source.
The petty Central American tyrants can easily be delt with.
I’ve got old Comanche foot traps all over my ranch from where they camped. Basically a foot-sized three-foot hole with spikes. Most have filled in, but occasionally a cow or an oil field worker will find one (generally when laying guy lines before they lay a pad).
Pretty much a guaranteed lost foot, assuming prompt medical care. Much worse if you don’t have a crew around you with a van and a radio (and a safety kit with a tourniquet).
I suppose one could never tell how long they’ve been there.
The Air Force would not do the flying.
There are plenty of charters available
