Right-Wing Border Patrol Union Backs Border Bill

 

The surprising, official statement from the right-wing, anti-immigration union representing the U.S. Border Patrol asking Congress to pass the bipartisan border control bill that MAGA Republicans are blocking at the instruction of the Malignant Loser:

"The Border Act of 2024 will give U.S. Border Patrol agents authorities codified, in law, that we have not had in the past. This will allow us to remove single adults expeditiously and without a lengthy judicial review which historically has required the release of these individuals into the interior of the United States. This alone will drop illegal border crossings nationwide and will allow our agents to get back to detecting and apprehending those who want to cross our borders illegally and evade apprehension. While not perfect, the Border Act of 2024 is a step in the right direction and is far better than the current status quo. This is why the National Border Patrol Council endorses this bill and hopes for its quick passage.”

Given the source of the endorsement, we're far less enthusiastic, but as a means of smoking out the demagogues on immigration and taking the border immigration issue out of the MAGA movement's and the Malignant Loser's hands for November, we'll take half a loaf until Congress returns to Dem control and fixes this problem in the right way.
