Former ICE Chief: Senate Vote a ‘Morale-Killer' for Border Patrol and ICE

[Epoch Times] WASHINGTON‐Tom Homan, former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hit out at the 12 Republican senators who voted to terminate President Donald Trump’s national border emergency on March 14.

"It’s a morale-killer for the Border Patrol and for ICE," Homan told The Epoch Times. "I don’t think these 12 senators understand how important border security is to this country. They say they support border security, but their talk is talk, they need to walk the walk."

He challenged the 12 senators to "wear the uniform and stand on that border for a week, then come back and say a wall’s not needed."

The 12 Republicans that joined all 47 Democrats to pass the measure are Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-Miss.), and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).

#2 These names are all eGOP so it is little surprise they want to continue their easy access to cheap, slave labor and a continued need for large and well funded federal law enforcement for the war on drugs.

Keeps their businesses going and their pockets lined.
