So why cannot the Border Patrol Stop the Illegal invasion of our Borders? This article dispels the myth of why the Border Patrol has been so ineffective. It is not undermanned and unpaid. Nope. it is not their mission to stop Illegals, Drug smugglers and Criminals. Nope according the the Border Patrol Chief of Laredo, TX their mission is ONLY to stop Terrorists and Terrorists weapons from entering over the border. From the NH Insider…
Sara A Carter of The Washington Times reports, “A Border Patrol chief at one of the nation’s most dangerous Southwest border crossings says the agency’s mission doesn’t include apprehending illegal aliens or seizing narcotics — perplexing front-line agents and angering a congressional critic of illegal immigration.”
“”I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,” Carlos X. Carrillo, Border Patrol chief of Laredo, Texas, told guests at a town-hall meeting Thursday. “The Border Patrol’s job is not to stop illegal immigrants. The Border Patrol’s job is not to stop narcotics. … The Border Patrol’s mission is not to stop criminals.”
“”The Border Patrol’s mission is to stop terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the country…”
If this is true then Homeland Security,specially Chertoff, has been misleading all Americans and the Bush Administration has lost all (if they had any left) creditability. Their press conferences are a waste of words and full of empty commitments.
If this Border Patrol Chief is correct then we need to immediately put DEA, and the FBI on the border to stop the invasion. Apparently it falls under their purview only.
Diggers Realm has more on this story here.
Tom Tancredo has called for the removal of Laredo Border Patrol Chief, Carlos X. Carrillo. Carrillo made these statements earlier this month at a town hall meeting.
Let’s hope Congress is listening.
