Top Border Patrol officials say agents are beyond frustrated ahead of President Biden's visit to the southern border on Sunday, as they try to deal with the two-year crisis.
"Because you now have Democrats, his constituency, his base, now that they're upset, now you've got Eric Adams, you've got the governor of Colorado. That's the only reason that he's coming to the border. And it's two years too late.to include Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans, combined with an expanded parole program -- alongside a transit ban that precludes anyone from asylum if they have gone through a third country without seeking asylum there.
That cautiousness was echoed by other agents, who also expressed skepticism about the visit and the policy. Meanwhile, Rodney Scott, who served as Border Patrol Chief under both Presidents Biden and Donald Trump, told Fox News Digital that the visit was"better late than never" but said that agents he spoke to have not been impressed."Based on the rest of the press conference, everybody that I've talked to thinks it's just going to be for show, that nothing is going to change," he said.
