Border Patrol Council President on Biden Admin's Immigration Policies and ICE Agent Dangers

Criticism of Biden Administration's Immigration Policies

• 💡 Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol Council, criticizes the Biden administration's handling of the border, calling it "beyond incompetence."
• 🎯 He states that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was given orders and was loyal to those who directed the policies that led to the current situation.
• ⚠️ Perez believes Mayorkas should be investigated and held accountable for the "invasion" into America and the resulting border crisis.

Impact of Open Borders on Crime

• 📈 Perez highlights the surge in illegal aliens, with numbers estimated between 12 to 22 million, and the emergence of violent gangs like Tren de Naragua.
• 🚨 He links the collapse of border security to an increase in crime, including sex trafficking, human trafficking, and labor trafficking.
• ⛓️ The National Border Patrol Council relayed concerns from the front lines to Mayorkas, but these were reportedly ignored, leading to the continued influx.

Dangers Faced by ICE Agents

• 💥 Perez condemns a CNN story that revealed the location of ICE agents via a phone app, stating it puts officers and agents in danger and in harm's way.
• 📈 Assaults against ICE agents have reportedly increased by over 700% year-over-year.
• 🚗 Agents have faced significant damage, including vehicles being torched, while attempting to apprehend criminals who have entered the country.

Call for Accountability and Removal

• 🏠 Perez suggests that if illegal immigrants were processed and detained in facilities rather than released, agents wouldn't need to go into communities, reducing risks.
• 🔒 He emphasizes the need to remove criminals who have entered the country immediately, suggesting facilities like Alcatraz for housing them.
• ⚖️ The current situation is attributed to Democrats allowing it to happen, despite the severe consequences for public safety and national security.
