Border Patrol Agent: 'Backdoor Amnesty' Directed by DHS

On Wednesday’s “Laura Ingraham Show,” Gabe Pacheco, a Border Patrol agent in Southern California and spokesman of National Border Patrol Council Local 1613, stated that the “backdoor amnesty” on the southern border is being controlled from the top by officials at the Department of Homeland Security.

Pacheco stated that for years, illegal immigrants have been turned over to ICE by the Border Patrol only to be “released into the community,” and also reported “this has been going on for years.” He characterized the release of illegals by ICE as “backdoor amnesty, de-facto amnesty.”
