How Obama is Endangering America

Last week, the nation's largest border patrol agent union endorsed Donald Trump, a nearly unprecedented move for the agency. This week, we may be learning why. It turns out Barack Obama is actively undermining them:

Officials last week spoke up about the Obama administration’s so-called “catch and release” policies blamed for hindering Border Patrol operations and encouraging illegal crossers from coming into the United States.

A recent letter from the National Border Patrol Council states a high-ranking member of the Obama administration confirmed to Border Patrol agents they have no intention of removing illegal border crossers that are being released with an order to appear in court.

Brandon Judd, president of the American Federation of Government Employees National Border Patrol Council, states in the letter published on March 21 he and two other Border Patrol agents met with Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to discuss concerns about the administration’s policy of releasing illegal crossers into the United States.

During the meeting, which took place on August 26, 2015, Mayorkas confirmed to the agents that the administration has no intention of removing immigrants coming across the border illegally as part of the ongoing surge, according to the letter.

“Why would we NTA [issue a Notice to Appear to] those we have no intention of deporting?” said Mayorkas, according to the letter. “We should not place someone in deportation proceedings, when the courts already have a 3-6 year backlog.”

Obama's foreign policy has been disastrous, but that's a matter of perspective and PC politics. The president is empowered to negotiate treaties, good and bad. That's the consequence of elections. But by arbitrarily choosing to disregard the laws he disagrees with, he transforms a country governed by laws to a country governed by the whims of men. Worse, he's doing it to further the interest of foreigners who have shown little regard for our laws, at the expense of Americans whose safety is now compromised.
