Border Patrol Union STANDS WITH TEXAS and Greg Abbott and say that they stand behind Texas. The Border Patrol said that the BIDEN ADMINSTRATION CAUSED A CATASTROPHE AT THE BORDER!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The union that represents front-line Border Patrol agents supports the Senate immigration reform bill, saying the new authorities it gives agents to turn migrants away are a key step in the right direction."

"That's despite heavy opposition from House Republicans that might scuttle the effort -- at least for the time being."

"The National Border Patrol Council has previously endorsed Donald Trump for president and routinely takes hard-line positions on immigration enforcement."

LOL!   I guess Jim Brown is far right then since he supported Trump in 2016.  If I'm not mistaken he voted for Trump in 2016.  

And I really don't need validation from all of your Far Left and communist friends on this forum to conclude that you were a bit irritated. 

Most of the time you are.

But regardless of all that, the fact remains that the Border Patrol which (not You wink) Rod was exhibiting giddiness over due to their somewhat support of the Border Bill, says flat out that this Border Disaster is the cause of Joe Biden, and the Democrats (I'll include the Democrats), and the Border Patrol RIPPED Joe Biden for causing what they call a CATASTROPHE on the border.  


At least we've clarified the fact that the Border Patrol blames Joe Biden for the CATASTROPHE on the border.  smile
"The National Border Patrol Council — which represents more than 18,000 agents — said the bill would “drop illegal border crossings nationwide and will allow our agents to get back to detecting and apprehending those who want to cross our border illegally and evade apprehension.”

"It's a significant statement of support from a group that endorsed former President Donald Trump in 2020 and has repeatedly railed against President Joe Biden’s handling of the border."

“While not perfect, the Border Act of 2024 is a step in the right direction and is far better than the current status quo,” Brandon Judd, president of the council, said in the statement. “This is why the National Border Patrol Council endorses this bill and hopes for its quick passage.”

Specific to being far right extremists, as noted in USA Today:
"'Replacement theory' fuels extremists and shooters. Now a top Border Patrol agent is spreading it."

CNN Anchor Pushes Back On GOP Rep. Over President’s Power To Shut Border: ‘You Are Just Wrong’

Even MAGA fanatic Chip Roy (R Texas) gets it as he says today:

"Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) took a dig at former President Trump in a House floor speech Tuesday, denying the former president’s claim that any executive could unilaterally close the southern border."

"Trump’s comments in a social media post Tuesday came after House Republicans shut down a bipartisan Senate border security bill, claiming President Biden should instead unilaterally stop all migrants from entering the U.S. using executive orders."

“No, we’re not just going to pass the buck and say that, ‘Oh, any president can walk in and secure the border,’” Roy said, referring to Trump’s post. “All a president has to do is declare the border’s closed, and it’s closed. Well, with all due respect, that didn’t happen in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. There were millions of people that came in the United States during those four years.”

That's a lie. Chip Roy simply stated in his speech that in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 Trump did not invoke the power that he and all Presidents have to close the border.

Chip Roy never said that the POWER to invoke that Immigration and Naturalization Act doesn't exist, he said that they did NOT invoke that power, you disingenuous joke.  

So Your left wing "The Hill" is purposely trying to confuse and mislead.

Their very header of the article says it all:  'Chip Roy knocks Trump over border claim: ‘That didn’t happen’'

In the body of the article, they attempt to mislead low IQ individuals.  

Apprently, as you've proven, they were successful.  wink

But then one would have to have an IQ greater than 18 to understand the statement of Chip Roy and be able to discern what Chip Roy said, rather than the spin that the left wing "The Hill" newspaper gave it.  

So having said that, the explanation for Your confusion is clear.  smile
LOL! The only idiotic spin here is coming from the likes of you and rest of the maggots that can't comprehend what the law says and applies to as it does not extend to those who have reached the border and are asking for asylum just as previously stated, "It can’t apply to asylum, Congressman,” Keilar said."  
And that's what the border bill, among other things, would have addressed before Trump, for his own political gain, torpedoed and otherwise would have passed and become law to correct the problem.

CNN Anchor Pushes Back On GOP Rep. Over President’s Power To Shut Border: ‘You Are Just Wrong’

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"CNN anchor Brianna Keilar pushed back on GOP Congressman Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) over his assertion about President Biden’s abilities to shut down the southern border, telling the lawmaker, “You are just wrong.”

..."the law Brecheen was citing, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, also allows people to ask for asylum when they come to the border, even if they step into U.S. territory without authorization."

"And if you’re citing that bill, you should be very much aware of this, because this particular bill in the Senate side would change that,” Keilar said. “It would give the president the ability to do exactly what you were citing, the part of the bill that you’re citing because in November of 2018, when former President Trump tried to use that very bill that you’re talking about to curb illegal migrant crossings, he was prevented from doing so by a federal court because it violated the very law that he was trying to use. The law that you were saying is on the books.”

"Brecheen responded, saying that Biden utilized the law previously, a statement that got him even more pushback from Keilar. 

“The law that’s on the books. President Biden on day five utilized it when it came to Brazil, South America, South Africa, excuse me, and United Kingdom. He utilized that, that provision of law,” Brecheen said.

“It can’t apply to asylum, Congressman,” Keilar said."

He indicates as such here in this forum posting  (#9 in the following thread)

https://astromart.com/forums/commentary-careful-read-the-terms-of-service/politics/the-united-states-border-patrol-issued-a-scathing-letter-about-the-biden-administration-saying-that-biden-had-caused-a-catastrophe-on-america?page=1

 where he says this:  



James's response to Rod, 

   It appears that "Biden has created a catastrophe" is the latest GOP political attack messaging strategy. If you Google that phrase, the number of news articles and other results that have popped up in the last two days alone is impressive.



So then, it appears that James is quite angry that the Border Patrol spoke the truth about what this despicable President Joe Biden has done to the nation, where he has caused problems everywhere with his open border policy, and James doesn't seem to like it when the Border Patrol accurately describes it.  How sad for James.  smile

What about all those millions, Rich? Isn't that a "catastrophe", too? And all of that happened, gasp, under Trump's watch. And why? Because, just like now, Republicans will not pass meaningful border/immigration reform...,

The millions that Chip Roy (R Texas) refers to in the quote from him you evidently can not comprehend.

And, speaking of communists, your comrade in Moscow, Tucker Carlson, is championing his interview with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. Something about a "border dispute" with Ukraine...

Please elaborate on what your issue is with Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin?  

Are you just angry that Jake Tapper didn't get the interview?

Now, I'll reiterate as to your false assertions provided by the Leftist "The Hill" newspaper.

They claimed that Chip Roy denied that the power exists for a President to close the border.

He never said anything like that but since you "can't comprehend" as you claim, simple English language statements, let me school you on it, 

Chip Roy said that Donald Trump never closed the border. He never claimed that the power doesn't exist.

I realize that communists everywhere get confused about that, so we get where you are coming from.  wink

Now lastly, the number of illegal aliens coming across the border has hit the record level under Joe Biden, more than ever recorded in the US for the last...  well, forever.  

300,000 last month.  Nobody has ever seen that number of illegal aliens entering the country.  

12,000 per day of illegal aliens have been entering, a staggering and mind numbing amount, and the corrupt leftists who made up that Border Bill have in the language of the bill that it will be allowed to go on at 5,000 per day.  

It should be Zero illegal aliens per day to come across the border.  

That was just one issue that Republicans have with the Border bill.
There's now no doubt that you would prefer your comrade, Tucker Carlson, to personally interview Vladimir Putin especially when it comes to Russia's "border dispute" with Ukraine.

It appears that an honest interpretation of the 14th Amendment will prevail and that corrupt Democrats in Colorado and in Maine will not be permitted to engage in their corrupt Election Interference.

We now will wait to see what their next corrupt political move will be.
Just to be clear, the case in COLORADO was brought on behalf of the complaint of a Republican voter, a retired Republican congresswoman...
