Why? As a leftist, did you get a warning, as I often do, for calling you a @#&%ing s*99'? You people are small, can't take standing up to rational people. You aren't worth the air you breathe. Mike

Sorry, is English a second or perhaps third language for you? Or maybe not at all. Your diversion tactics are typical. You made your case plain from your first sentence. Black and white. You were more concerned this site would give politic fodder to the Left than what was said on that site.

i agree with what you have said... however I hate to think that conservatives are cowing to these fools... this is probably the BEST time to come out against the tyranny that is the Democrat party..more accurately socialist bordering on communist.. Do NOT let them beat you down or conservatives as a whole.. Trump doesn't back down.. Nor should we.. this crap is rediculous.. witch hunts etc... I reckon if they keep us busy watching one had we dont' see what the other hand is doing.. it's time to watch the watchers NOT cow down to them.. OR trolls that like to hammer the shit out of one paragraph w/out citing the rest of the post outta context much!?!? Like the poster that we are for all intents wasting time with in text. I suggest if anyone wants to really know what is going on in the world and specifically the UN for instance go look up "1963 Communist Goals" It's actually got the cited date and such of this Congressional record Jan. 10th 1963.. it's scary but it's worthy of mention because everything in it.. all 45 points have come to pass as we speak!!...

Very true.. he's not getting kids killed.. and even if he does golf a ton.. it's really none of anyone's business. The man isn't taking a pay check to be President.. And.. He doesn't Need our money ffs!!.. He has his OWN money hence not taking a pay check.. so.. So what is the complaint about golfing he has gotten MORE done in 2 years than ANY administration since Regan!!!.. I'd tell them to get over themselves

How do you know whether or not they are really CBP agents? I have frequent contact with many CBP agents and none would continence this. CBP agents spend a good portion of their time rescuing illegals from the desert or from drowning. But some idiots still manage to elude them and die from terminal stupidity. Especially now when so many CBP are being pulled off patrolling to transport illegals to facilities and assist in the support of the illegals in the overstretched conditions.

Yes but she claimed to have not only toured it but have conversations with several detainees who told her they were being mistreated and sexually harassed or worse.

Where did you get the 9500 figure from? That is very specific.

Backing down is not in my nature, but my Poppa taught me wisely to choose my battles.

BTW, I just noticed that you are new to OPP.... welcome aboard. I can see that you will fit right in!

He? The only CBP official with the title chief--is a woman. Carla Provost.

The military has always enlisted people who were not citizens. They have to renounce their foreign citizenship. It is done regularly. I have served with multiple soldiers who enlisted and were not US citizens.

And no! The CBP is very meticulous in their hiring. Now more than ever with all the anti-immigration law enforcement hate being spewed and accusations of racism. CBP agents are held to a very high standard of ethical behavior. And as for racism against Hispanics, more than half of CBP agents are Hispanic with the remaining including whites, blacks, American Indians, Asians, and any other race/ethnicity.

OK, how about you give your ill-conceived breathless hyper offenses against president Trump and all who support him a needed break. Make it a long break, like a sabbatical. Take an extended vacation in Nicaragua. You can probably get your drugs much cheaper down there.

What improper things are they being asked to do? Regulating and facilitating international trade? Collecting import duties? Enforcing U.S. regulations including trade, customs, and immigration? Seizing and forfeiting all merchandise that is stolen, smuggled, or clandestinely imported or introduced? Defending against terrorist intrusion by identifying high risk individuals who are attempting to enter into the United States? Stopping criminal activities – such as drug trafficking, child pornography (including on computers, cell phones, and other electronic media), weapons trafficking, and money laundering? How about rescuing illegal border crossers from dying of exposure after coyotes abandon them in the wilderness?

Officer candidates attend the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, in Glynco, Georgia for 17–19 weeks of paid training. Candidate training consists of basic law enforcement skills, including Anti-Terrorism; Detection of Contraband; Interviewing; Cross-cultural Communications; Firearms Handling and Qualification; Immigration and Naturalization Laws; U.S. Customs Export and Import laws, Defensive Tactics and Driving; Crime Investigation Site; Arrest Techniques; Baton Techniques; Examination of cargo, bags, and merchandise; border search exception; Entry and Control Procedures; Passenger Processing; and Officer Safety and Survival. Those candidates selected for duty locations requiring Spanish may receive an additional 6 weeks of Spanish Language training. After a few years of service, qualified Officers may serve on CBP's Special Response Team after passing a pre-test and an additional five weeks of paid training at the U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) in El Paso, Texas.

The CBP Officer position is categorized as a "critical-sensitive" position in law enforcement. For this reason, officer candidates must undergo a single scope background investigation (SSBI) before being appointed. [By the was, an SSBI is the same background check used before the issuance of top secret clearances.] In addition, officer candidates must undergo drug and medical examination, polygraph examination, two physical fitness tests, a video based test, and structured interview during the pre-appointment phase.

Lumping the hiring of CBP agents with the hiring of police or other law enforcement officers, doesn't compare. And suggesting psychopaths and sociopaths are hired does them far more than a great disservice. They have a virtually impossible job yet continue to put their whole effort into doing their duty.
