Biden opposition to Border Patrol mission harming national security, former chief says
Arizona, Texas | October 29, 2021
The most recent national leader of the U.S. Border Patrol said the Biden administration has not treated the federal law enforcement organization properly and that its opposition to agents’ mission poses dangers to the weekend.
Rodney Scott, who involuntarily left his post as chief in August, recently spoke with the Washington Examiner about his fear that the Border Patrol’s mandate from Congress has been undermined or frustrated under the Biden administration and the effects it is having on agents and the nation….

More than 125K children without parents came to US border since February
Arizona, Texas | October 22, 2021
More than 125,000 children traveling without parents have shown up along the U.S.-Mexico border to be taken into custody during the Biden administration, an astronomical figure far beyond precedent. The child migrant crisis has dogged President Joe Biden throughout his tenure and dragged down his approval ratings. He has tried to overhaul border measures implemented by former President Donald Trump in an effort to more quickly process migrants and ensure that children are not held in inadequate facilities — even going so far as to fly them under the cover of night to states far from the border. Republicans charge that, in the process, he has created the aforementioned influx of unaccompanied children. The crisis is far from resolved…. (Excerpts from the White House Dossier)

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Texas Governor Greg Abbott led the 26-state coalition in writing a letter to the White House on Monday demanding an end to the “national security crisis created by eight months of unenforced borders.” The letter comes as Texas is beset by a surge of illegal immigration near the town of Del Rio, creating dual immigration and humanitarian crises….

Suspected terrorists crossing border ‘at a level we have never seen before,’ outgoing Border Patrol chief says
Arizona, Texas | August 16, 2021
Unprecedented numbers of known or suspected terrorists have crossed the southern border in recent months, the outgoing Border Patrol chief said.
The head of the Border Patrol, Rodney Scott, told his 19,000 agents before retiring on Aug. 14 that their national security mission is paramount right now despite the Biden administration’s focus on migrant families and children who are coming across the United States-Mexico boundary at record rates.
“Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission, and the context of it being immigration or the current crisis today being an immigration crisis,” Scott said in a video message to agents, obtained by the Washington Examiner. “I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis. Immigration is just a subcomponent of it, and right now, it’s just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southwest border — to include TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat.”
TSDB refers to known or suspected terrorists, as identified in the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database.
“Your peers or you are taking criminals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and like I said before, even TSDB alerts off the streets and keeping them safe from America,” Scott said. “Even if we processed several thousand migrants that day and even if thousands of them were allowed into the U.S., you still took those threats off the street, and I think that’s worth it. So please don’t ever undersell how important your mission is.”.. (Excerpts from the Washington Examiner)
