Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday, President Joe Biden vowed to punished Border Patrol agents in Del Rio who used horses to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country earlier this week.
"It's outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay," he said.
Biden on the lie that border patrol were using whips on illegal immigrants at the border:

President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki have all continued to lie about Border Patrol agents "whipping" illegal Haitians. It never happened and yet, they're tripling down.
The photojournalist who took the photos of Border Patrol agents earlier this week, which cynical political operatives and media have used to smear them, has debunked the narrative illegal immigrants were whipped.
The photographer behind images depicting Border Patrol agents on horseback told KTSM things are not exactly what they seem when it comes to the photos.
The photographs, which were taken Sunday, appear to show agents on horses with a whip in hand. The photos caused outrage because from certain angles, it appears to show Border Patrol whipping migrants, but photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anyone.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje said.
Ratje is a photographer based in Las Cruces and has been in Del Rio since Friday. He said took the photographs from the Mexican side.
“I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje said.
Yesterday, the administration announced horses will no longer be used by agents in Del Rio, taking away a key tool for patrols.
"The horse is a great tool we've used for almost 100 years now."

Jon Anfinsen, president of the BP union’s chapter in Del Rio, responds to the horse unit being suspended:
“Suspending them all for even a brief amount of time takes away one of the few remaining units that have been in the field making arrests and rescues on a regular basics.”

DHS is expected to conclude an investigation into the agents and issue disciplinary action next week.

Kamala Harris smears Border Patrol agents, compares images to slavery
https://rumble.com/vmx1wd-kamala-harris-smears-border-patrol-agents-compares-images-to-slavery.html
this attack on agents (lets call it what it is) is designed to get them to stop doing their job and watch illegals comes in to the country.
much like Portland and Minneapolis police watch crimes happen.
This makes me so mad I could spit nails. It’s a diversion away from what crimes Biden team are committing.
No they won’t Joe, there is a presumption of innocence and you just prejudiced the process. Meanwhile, who’s being held accountable for the drone strike killing 10 in Kabul when you had to prove you were still the tough guy that faced down Corn Pop and wanted to take Trump behind the gym? By the way , check your Depends
These comments are so outrageous. They are a classic example of what the media has done so frequently. They make something up and then lots of other media and commentators comment on what the initial fabrication was, not caring about what the facts are. I really despise Biden, his administration and the propaganda media.
That Ba*t*rd!!!
Biden's shouting "defund the police" in different words, all the while lying, which is his wheelhouse. He's also attacking labor unions and working people.
Horses? I’d use alligators
Demoralizing the border patrol works perfectly with their plan.
The NWO and Obama are evil. These types of utterances from a sitting president raise red flags and red lines crossed.
Mounted police are an effective and intimidating deterrent to those who break the law with impunity and malicious intent.
Few people are intimidated by a small ATV with a couple of Border Agents and will run at the sight, but will stop dead in their tracks when confronted with an agent mounted on a horse.
This has been known for centuries.
Biden lies and is a colossal fool. Kamala is worse. Border Patrol agents are generally unappreciated, though they do important and dangerous work. Horse pateols are effective and necessary. Liberals are a cancer on America.
Hey Dementia Joe, you MURDERED 10 innocent people, including 7 children, just so you can claim some credibility..so tell me Joe, what should happen to YOU..and PAY YOUR DAMN BACK TAXES!!
He is obviously a raving lunatic!
scumbag.
Learned that trick from Obama!
The federal gov is illegitimate and occupied by foreign nationals and foreign interests. We don’t consent and we won’t comply. FJB and FKH.
And who is going to pay for the atrocity against the Afghan family who were blown to smithereens by a Biden administration drone? These evil bastards have no effing shame! They always get away with this nonsense because the media whether we like it or not is a powerful tool that has taken sides with the rats and will defend them to the grave!
Ditto that!
