Biden punishes (innocent) border-patrol agents — but does nothing about illegal migrants
2022-07-12
[NYPOST] Only in America, it seems, can border-patrol agents be cleared of breaking any laws but still be punished, while those entering the country illegally mostly escape punishment.

President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
, then-press secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas all rushed to judgment when they saw a video of Texas Border Patrol agents last September herding Haitians attempting to enter the country without authorization. Biden had threatened the agents, saying they would "pay" for their actions.

They have paid in lost time on the job, the smearing of their character and probably an end to their careers. It is the administration that should pay. One hopes the agents will find a lawyer who sues them for slander.

In a 511-page report (only the government requires so many words to explain the obvious), Customs and Border Protection said the agents did not whip the migrants colonists but added they are still guilty of "unprofessional conduct," including using "unnecessary force on Haitians."

Apparently, some of the agents used bad language while trying to turn the people back. Shocking, I know. Were they supposed to say: "Would you pretty please turn around and go back to your country?"

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has joined other Republicans in calling on Biden and others to apologize to the four agents they falsely accused. Good luck with that. Being a high government official means never having to say you’re sorry. Paxton said instead of being punished, the agents "should be rewarded."
