Border Patrol Agents: Senator McCain Sells Us Out (Again)

Border Patrol Agents: Senator McCain Sells Us Out (Again)


By Jim Kouri, CPP on Jun 03, 2006


United States Border Patrol agents are not happy
with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) since he voted for the Amnesty Bill (S. 2611). And they're not being quiet about
their collective anger over the senator's actions and
remarks.


But, according to members of the agents’ union local 2544, Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file
Border Patrol agents. Local 2544 represents US Border
Patrol agents in Arizona, McCain’s home state.


He routinely ignores correspondence from Border Patrol
agents and often gives the impression that he is just
too big and too important to deal with us, they said.


He attempts to undermine our mission at every turn and actively supports the criminals who violate our laws.
He always trys to downplay the fact that illegal aliens knowingly and willingly violate our laws, and he is a close ally on immigration matters with Senator Ted Kennedy,
who we believe is the biggest disgrace of all time in
the United States Senate.


These law enforcement agents point to Senator McCain’s imperious attitude towards rank-and-file Border Patrol
agents and his complete disdain for their mission has been evident for many years.


We will not bother listing his website [for citizens to write to him] because it’s obvious he couldn’t care less what the average American thinks and he isn’t up for re-election
until 2010.


And these agents aren’t just singling out McCain for their
ire. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), who chairs the Judiciary Committee, is also in their sights. They point to how
Senator Specter, at the last minute, put a clause in the Senate’s shameful immigration bill that forces the
United States government to consult with Mexico prior to planning or building any fences or barriers on our border.


Not on Mexico’s [side of the] border, but yes, on United States soil. We can’t wait to see this fencing project after the consultations take place. Maybe they can even appoint Congressman Raul Grijalva to lead the consultations
for the United States of America.


The agents said that this is the same Mexican government
that sends millions of Mexican citizens here illegally to
steal jobs and send billions of dollars back to Mexico.
This is the same Mexican government whose soldiers smuggle drugs and shoot at Border Patrol agents. This is the same Mexican government that is corrupt to the core. This is
the same Mexican government that uses its consular officers
to sue the United States government.


Great move Specter. Talk about the FOX guarding the henhouse.


The Senate passed a shameful immigration bill at the
urging of an equally shameful George W. Bush, fresh off his dune-buggy riding jaunt in Yuma surrounded by a bunch
of adoring, star-struck Border Patrol managers, quipped
the agents.


This bill cheapens citizenship in this country (again), it throws the rule of law out the window (again), it places unconscionable burdens on DHS (verifying the identity of every illegal alien in this country within 90 days),
it repeats, and at a minimum, quadruples the worst
immigration mistake in the history of this country.


it sells out our sovereignty by forcing the American government to consult with the Mexican government
before planning or building any border fences, it encourages more widespread fraud than this country has ever seen
(you’ll see what we’re talking about if this actually
passes the House), and it is completely unenforceable
and will overwhelm the system, the agents said in a
statement submitted to the US Senate.


You [McCain, Kennedy, Specter, et al] have succeeded in placing the morale of frontline Border Patrol agents in
the toilet just when we thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse.
