Border Patrol agents in Texas were tipped off by a ranch hand earlier this week to a suspicious Chevrolet Avalanche that had just loaded up illegal immigrants from the side of the road. When agents caught up to the vehicle, they found a driver, a passenger and nine suspected illegal immigrants, five of them in the cab and four in the truck bed, exposed to the elements with the wind chill temperature at 9 degrees Fahrenheit. One woman was already dead and two more had to get emergency medical treatment because of hypothermia.(Snip) Customs and Border Protection says it has recorded 15 migrant deaths

OP’s comment tends to denigrate the Border Patrol, some of whom have given their lives in that service. The border problem is not with them. It is with the wimpy Biden administration that has effectively shut down their normal operation. Obama’s Third Term.

Sorry #1, I disagree. It is not a "wimpy" administration but a "strong" push for the dissolution of the USA by not only allowing but encouraging the border crossers.

The people smugglers in Mexico and further South have Biden’s number and as soon as the weather moderates will really kick in their operations to bring as many illegal aliens (migrants) to the USA borderline to take advantage of the Democrats asylum loophole that allows illegal aliens arriving at the borderline to make rudimentary claims to asylum in the USA to be allowed into the USA to pursue their asylum claims through the immigration courts. History shows that about 90% of those allowed into the USA are really poor and uneducated economic migrant workers who either never pursue asylum applications through the immigration courts and simply disappear into the interior of the USA, or when they do, end up having their asylum applications denied as either being bogus or not meeting the minimum qualifications of the asylum laws. They then just stay in the USA.
Clearly the Democrats are using their “Catch and Release” asylum loophole to allow as many illegal aliens as possible to bypass borderline enforcement protocols and be released into the USA to hide and wait for amnesty and a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” that is Democrat code for ultimately granting as many of those would be former illegal aliens as possible into future Democrat voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead.

If I worked for an outfit called the Border Patrol that was forbidden from enforcing the border, but instead held the function of escorting border crossers to safety and distributing diapers and food at welcome centers, I would question things. If I was in a war zone under US rules of engagement that forbade me from firing unless fired upon first, I would question why we were at war. We have a federal Supreme Court that refuses to hear questions relating to rigged federal elections. A man can be a woman if he says he's a woman. If words have no meaning, what purpose does a government serve?

Hi #1. More wall means less need for unionized Border Patrol. Think they really wanted a wall or were they happy with business as usual - and early retirement with golden healthcare?

I also disagree, #1. I think its a stretch to take OP’s comment as denigration of the Border Patrol. Are we to stay silent about the part BP plays so as not to offend anyone. We already have border state Republican Senators, Congressmen and women, Governors, Mayors saying either nothing or as little as possible. Silence while Marxists flood Texas especially with new voters. The problem of no real southern border continues now just as it did pre-Trump. The silence must stop.

Effective enforcement along the borderline has been missing for a longtime, and that is not the fault of the Border Patrol Agents stationed along the borderline. The problem is with the politicians in Congress. Essentially the Democrats want as many illegal aliens as possible to be allowed into the USA and to take American jobs so that they can legalize them and eventually transform them into future Democrat socialist voters. Everything that Biden and Harris have said about the borderline and immigration in general is designed to allow that to happen. On the other said of the political coin, the Republicans, many of them covertly, while singing the conservative song, really want as much cheap foreign labor as possible, both illegally and legally, to be able to get into the USA to please their business related supporters from whom those Republicans reap big campaign contributions, so that American jobs that for one reason or another could not be sent abroad to low wage countries, can be filled inside that USA at the lowest labor wage possible. Both the Democrats and the Republican select the DC Super Bureaucrats who actually run the Border Patrol from DC. Those Super Bureaucrats must do what their political rabbis in DC tell them to do, or they won't be there much longer, and right now the guidance from the DC Super Bureaucrats to the Border Patrol is essentially to forget about arresting and deporting illegal aliens, and instead to make sure that illegal aliens passing through the borderline unlawfully from Mexico are made as comfortable as possible, as they make their way into the interior of the USA to await the next big amnesty.

It's a real shame that they don't just shoot smugglers like they did in the old days.

Biden and his gang seem intent on giving away this country, as if they owned it. We can see it happening before our very eyes with every Executive Order he scribbles. It's gotten that serious in the few weeks since he has been in office. Our country is being dissolved into lawless mush. ...Born Yesterday is on TCM right now and it has a better grasp of what this country stands for than does Biden after his many decades in elected office!

The deaths are not caused directly by Dung Xiao Bidet's promise that stepping foot across our imaginary and racist southern border automatically makes one a New American, but rather Global Warming and our SUVs are to blame. Meanwhile, the Border Patrol, which should be rebranded as the Welcome Wagon (or however that's written in Spanish) simply escorts these people to safety, gives them free food and medical care, and turns them loose with a wink and a nod.
