Border Patrol agents talk about a possible Kamala Harris presidency

Contrary to the vice president's rebranding of the border, frontline agents foresee difficulties if voters choose to continue the “nightmare” of the Biden-Harris administration.

“We're screwed.”

Moving away from the title of border czar and outshining nominal attempts to address the crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris' failure to crack down on illegal immigration was one of many issues her campaign brought up as if there was no record.

Speaking against the propaganda on condition of anonymity, US Customs and Border Protection agents of all ranks explained to the Washington Examiner why when it comes to the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, “I would never vote for her.”

“She was handpicked by President Biden to be the official/unofficial 'border czar' and failed miserably,” one agent tweeted. “Other than that, his general personality, or lack thereof, is not attractive at all. When he speaks in public and goes off script, you get awkward word salads and obnoxious laughs. And finally, I spent 16 years in California. She is a textbook 'California Liberal' and always will be, no matter how much the DNC tries to paint her as a “moderate”.

“These past four years have been a nightmare for the patrol, and it would be another four years of the same, and probably worse than Biden, honestly,” expressed a second.

Among the reasons cited for opposing his bid for the White House, responses from nearly a dozen officials included calling out his radical positions, being discouraged by his lack of commitment and acknowledging that his views they were contrary to their personal and religious beliefs, so much so that some even considered early retirement if Harris won.

“I have learned to endure Democratic administrations. I'm at the point where I'm in it for me now, not for the patrol,” said one agent who imagined the vice president would laugh when confronted by her own running mate's actions in offering to foreigners taxpayer-funded license plates and driver's licenses are illegal.

“We are screwed as a country if she becomes president. The border will never be closed”, denounced one agent.

Shortly after Harris became the presumptive nominee, it was reported that she had never spoken to the current or former head of the Border Patrol.

“Nothing has been done to show support for Border Patrol agents or the mission in the last 4 years. I fear that 4 more years of the same thing would be even more damaging to the homeland if Harris becomes president ” one law enforcement officer texted the Examiner while another cited his Christian faith and opposition to Harris' support of abortion.

“She will continue or even improve on Biden's failed policies. The VP choice seems even more radical than her, which is mind-boggling. I see her leaning more left than Biden,” one insider said .

Another told the network: “I think he would be worse than President Biden. With Biden, I feel like he really had no idea what was going on. He acted shocked when he heard about certain border issues. I think his handlers were setting the policy, not him.”

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate, again pressed the corporate media about Harris' responsibility for the ongoing crisis when he told ABC News' Jonathan Karl, “She was in control on much of our border policy at a time when deportations were on hold … stopped Donald Trump's stay in Mexico policy and reinstituted catch and release.”

“They basically opened the doors to our country, and now we have a lot of fentanyl, a lot of people suffering, and a lot of Americans,” continued Vance, who challenged opponents of deportation by saying, “You start with what is achievable”.

Adding to the anti-Harris stance, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, Chris Cabrera, told the Examiner, “The whole radical point is over. One of the problems is that this administration has always moved slowly on this issue at the border. They denied it, and when they wanted to get off [to visit the border]they would make sure they went to a place that was a good optic and didn't look bad to them.”

Meanwhile, NBPC Vice President Hector Garza expressed that the union intended to support Trump “in the near future.”
