Homeland Security Secretary hears heated exchange among border patrol agents

| January 31, 2022

Alejandro Mayorkas was present during a meeting among border patrol agents. During the video clip, the chief of the US border patrol attempts to motivate the agents towards accomplishing their missions. However, agents in the audience used this meeting as an opportunity to voice their frustrations. The release of criminal illegal aliens into the country was one of these complaints.

From Fox News:

“I get it,” Ortiz said. “You come to work, you’re frustrated. You’re upset because you didn’t get the desired outcome that you want. Doesn’t mean you give up.”

“We’re not,” one agent responded.

“I know you’re not,” Ortiz replied. “That’s why I’m saying, we don’t give up. We stay focused, we continue to do the job and the mission that we signed up for. We all signed up for it, we all raised our hand.”

That’s when things got more heated.

“It’s kinda hard to say that when…” one agent began to say.

“It’s not hard to say it,” Ortiz shot back. “It may be hard for you to say it, I’ve been doing this for 31 years. It’s not hard for me to say it.”

Other agents chimed in that “you keep releasing criminal aliens into the country.”

“You’re getting bogged down in the policies and the politics,” Ortiz stressed.

Multiple agents then said agents can’t use the term “illegal aliens.”

“You just said it,” Ortiz replied. “Ain’t nothing gonna happen to you.”

With the agents seemingly still not satisfied with the answers they were getting, Ortiz asked them, “Why are you guys getting caught up in semantics? … I’ve been doing this job as long as y’all.”

“That’s the problem, chief,” one agent interjected. “For evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Good men are doing nothing. You’re allowing illegal aliens to be dropped off in communities.”

Ortiz insisted that agents are doing good work by rescuing people and taking fentanyl and methamphetamine off the streets.

Am I the FIRST to comment? Well maybe, takes me a bit bit to type out the thoughts in my head. Been following this story most of the weekend. May be why my BP is elevated. These f’ing politicians are really pi$$ing me off. The FIRST duty of the federal grubermint is to defend the borders! DO YOUR F’ING JOB!!!! I don’t know of a single country in the world that, not only allows illegal immigration, but also pays to transport these lawbreakers all over the country AND signs them up for all of the free sh^t available.

Seal the border and DEPORT all of the people that are here illegally. If they were any type of decent human being, they would rise up and overthrow the “oppression” that they have in their home country.

yup!

Liberalism is a Mental Illness, the same fuckheads that want everyone to have vaccination papers to leave one’s home are all in favor of releasing unvaxxed ILLEGAL ALIENS upon the US Population as well as distributing them via airplanes to places all over. Maybe the corrupt powers that be wanted Joke Biteme in Office so that B. Hussein 0bama is no longer remembered as THE worst US President ever?

Deckie

If you gotta fly them in on secret, early morning flights that even the airport security wasn’t made aware of until caught in the act, it only means one thing…

…that the Dems know it’s wrong… and they don’t want you to know it’s happening.

Fuck them, seriously. Hope the winds of change blow them all away in ‘22 and ‘24

It’s never jacked-up when they do anything, but everyone else is “racist” always.

“RACIST” is the term applied to anyone winning a debate or an argument against a liberal moonbat via the use of facts, logic and/or common sense, ditto with the label of “fascist” or Nazi”.

If someone conspires and enables a crime they too are guilty.

The disgruntled agents aren’t wrong. Ortiz is a low-grade moron, and a government tool. He needs to explain how what we see in the above link is NOT human trafficking.

“I’ve been doing this for 31 years”

Thank you for your service now take the pension and get lost.

MarineDad61

What “we signed up for”???

No, this is NOT what almost all the Border Patrol agents signed up for.
Is there a count of Border Patrol agents that QUIT over releasing the illegals?

5JC

Who would collect such data and why? What point would it serve for the discussion.

Be that your question is another one of your infamous and mythical strawmen that you love so much I will point out that of all the actual Federal Law Enforcement agencies out there CBP and TSA are the only ones with a shortage of agents. TSA has NEVER been to full strength and now with 40% of their agents saying “no mas jab”, never will be.

MarineDad61

5JC,
No straw man.
Just amused that the head who spoke the line
actually thought he’d get away with it.
Because, if he’s been around 31 years,
it’s certainly NOT what he signed up for, either,
unless he’s a Tex/Mex anti Border Patrol infiltrator.

“Tennessee Bill Proposes Relocating Migrants To Biden’s and Psaki’s Hometowns”

https://www.foxnews.com/us/tennessee-bill-proposes-relocating-illegal-migrants-biden-hometown-delaware

“A Tennessee Lawmaker introduced a bill proposing illegal migrants in the U.S. be sent to the home states and towns of prominent Democratic leaders, such as President Biden and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

“The Biden administration is quietly moving thousands of illegals to various states, including Tennessee, by putting them on planes and buses and transporting them in the middle of the night, and we should return them to their sender!” state Rep. Bruce Griffey, who introduced the bill, wrote Wednesday.”

“I imagine that if we relocated them to the backyards of those responsible for allowing the flood of illegal immigration across our border, then those with federal power might be more apt to secure the border and secure it quickly.”

ninja

“The bill works to put illegal immigrants into the home states and towns of those “responsible for our border crisis.” The migrants would be put into towns such as Block Island, Rhode Island; Greenwich, Connecticut; Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts; Governors Island, New York; Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; Nantucket, Massachusetts; Newport, Rhode Island; Scarsdale, New York; Palo Alto, California; Yountville, California; St.
Helena, California; or North Hero, Vermont.”

Green Thumb

I would want to go to Honolulu.

Just saying.

Block Island has less than 700 residents, most property is summer rentals. Yes there is some liberal rich people that own houses but it’s not Martha’s Vineyard. Most of us go there because it’s not like the places you mentioned. And if you have ever been there you would know that a lot of what comes over on the ferry day tripping is far from elite and fortunately don’t walk to far. Sorry BI isn’t that type of place.

Av8or33

And by the way Greenwich CT has been Republican run for decades, about as red as CT gets. During the defund movement Thank you GPD signs were on lawns everywhere and BLM signs were all but nonexistent. Please research these places before throwing them under the bus. Wealthy doesn’t always mean liberal and Greenwich has a very diverse population wealth wise and demographically.

Odie

If the US government is dropping illegal migrants off in various states around the country without a bill or law, why would a bill be needed elsewhere to take them off 1 plane, put on another, and sent to Delaware or California.

Let the government explain how a plane load of illegals ended up in Delaware via Tennessee. The news will be unable to keep it hidden from the public. Some politician would scream bloody murder about these people being dumped in their back yard like so many unwanted puppies.

Apologies to puppies everywhere.

“Pennsylvania Republicans To Draft Bill To Relocate Migrants On Biden DHS Flights To Delaware”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pennsylvania-republicans-to-draft-bill-diverting-
illegal-immigrants-from-secretive-biden-dhs-flights-to-delawa

“Republicans in the Pennsylvania State Senate plan to draft a bill that would relocate migrants entering the state on Biden administration-sponsored flights to the president’s home state of Delaware.”

“State Sen. Mario Scavello, a Republican from Mount Pocono, issued a memo to colleagues asking them to support the forthcoming bill.”

“In the very near future, I intend to introduce legislation to address the influx of illegal immigrants being relocated into Pennsylvania,” Scavello wrote, adding that his legislation will be fashioned after similar intentions voiced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.”

‘ “You’re getting bogged down in the policies and the politics,” Ortiz stressed.’

I agree with Ortiz’s words. They are indeed getting bogged down by policies and politics, but only because those policies and politics are completely contrary to the very purpose and existence of his organization. Ortiz and his 31 years have become a part of the problem.

Trent

A clear case of a department head choosing his job over the good of the country, and those he’s in charge of. Ortiz is nothing but a political hack and now everyone one in the Border Patrol knows it.

Odie

As well as the rest of us reading this article and forwarding on so others may know as well.

I also heard that towards the end of that meeting, agents turned their backs on him while he was speaking.

It was reported that Mayorkas said (along these lines) “You might turn your back on me, but I will never turn my back on you.”

One response was, “You turned your back on us the day you were appointed!” Followed by another question about why he didn’t confront the MSM and challenge the characterization of Border Patrol officers using horses “to whip” illegal immigrants (all over that photo that was taken out of context).

Fuck Mayorkas.

Poetrooper

Ol’ Poe thinks they should have mooned him in formation.

Even the fake news organizations couldn’t have ignored that…

And now they have Magnus in charge. At least he’s gone from Tucson.

Joey Depends admin is for all practical purposes ignoring ‘Remain In Mexico’, which the Supremes decided should remain in effect. This WH has unlawfully nuked federal immigration laws, and they don’t care. Let them all in! New underclass of voters for Dems. Free shit y’all. Just vote for Degeni-Rats.

If the RINOs take back both houses of Kongress in ’22, they need to grow a spine and apply some serious no nonsense oversight on DHS. Subpoena the mutha fucking shat out of these lawless c0cksucking POS.
Also, a GOP Senate needs to freeze all confirmations (notably federal judges). Maybe, Joey poopy pants gets the idea immigration laws should be complied with.

We need these people to clean our dachas, cut our lawns and raise our children… while we do the things that we are destined to do in a Socialist paradise!

OR work in businesses owned by liberals like Malig-Nancy Pelosi like the spa resort where the cheapest room would run you about $3-400 a night as well as the Vineyard she and her husband own which the cheapest bottle from there would be around $125 a pop, and the spa resort is well known for paying as little as possible while treating the hired help like trash!

ToePooper,
Play your silly prediction games,
get plopped with their latest conspiracy theory fakery.

Do you want the direct linky, or an echo chamber story from a foolish follower no thinky?

Then, go check out Taste of Sicily for ivermectin.
They have blind holy followers, too.
Locals here predict prison for Dr, Rx, and pizza shop.
Good luck.

I’m normally the last one around here to take a toke on the conspiracy theory pipe but I’m deeply curious about his film. If has proof things as we know it will likely never be the same.

MarineDad61

5JC,
In all seriousness, I believe he caught 1
in full blown LOCAL election shenanigans,
perhaps a handful of others in part.
But 2000 caught with cellphone tracking??
I’m actually surprised the 1 (ONE) laid out here isn’t from Philadelphia.

Yup. That conjured him up.

With most of these nighttime drop-offs being healthy young males, ol’ Poe rather suspects they’re being brought in for roofing crews, landscaping crews, carpeting and flooring teams, painting crews, slaughter house and packing company employees, waste pickup, etc.

And Poe will wager much of the Republican power structure is just fine with this…
