"The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border."
The former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector, and prior to that, the CPA for the Grand Forks Sector, responsible for border security operations along 861 miles of the U.S and Canadian border, issued explosive evidence against the Biden-Harris administration on Tuesday, saying he was warned not to release any information on the increase in illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism crossing the border illegally.
“The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin,” Former CPA Aaron Heitke explained to the Homeland Security Committee. “Throughout the first three-plus years of the administration I saw a steady decrease in the countries we can send people back to. For the first time in my 25 years and under five different administrations whether through neglect or on purpose, I saw a large-scale lapse in our ability to return people to the country of origin. The inability to send people home meant that most people being arrested for illegal entry would either have to be detained or released.”
He turned to the Biden-Harris administration: “The current administration, however, from day one, made a point of decreasing the amount of detention space available nationwide. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s funding for detention has steadily been cut and private detention eliminated. The fact that so many illegal aliens are being released into the United States has spread worldwide very quickly. As this happened, the numbers Border Patrol encountered illegally crossing the border increased exponentially.”
