The National Border Patrol Council, the union representing U.S. Border Patrol agents, has called for President Biden’s immediate arrest for his handling of the southern border crisis. The union accuses the president of presiding over the “worst sustained disaster” in the history of the border. According to Brandon Judd, the council’s president, the current surge of illegal immigrants, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, has created an unprecedented crisis.
On Monday, Judd appeared on Fox News and said that the situation at the border was entirely “man-made.” He claimed that the Biden administration’s open-border policies had created a “magnet” for illegal immigration, attracting criminals and human smugglers. Judd went on to say that the situation was so dire that it was only a matter of time before there was a “massive tragedy.”
The union’s accusations against President Biden come as the Department of Homeland Security continues to grapple with the surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico. In March, more than 170,000 people were taken into custody along the U.S.-Mexico border, the highest number in over a decade.
The National Border Patrol Council’s claim reflects the growing concern among law enforcement agencies that the current policy of allowing undocumented immigrants to enter the country unchecked is a disaster waiting to happen.
The issue of illegal immigration has long been a contentious one in U.S. politics, with some arguing that it is an essential part of American society, while others see it as a threat to national security. Whatever your opinion, what’s clear is that the current situation at the border is unsustainable. The Biden administration may need to act fast to get control of the situation before it gets worse.
