Exclusive — Border Patrol to Nikki Haley: ‘We’re Basically Babysitters’
HANNAH BLEAU8 Apr 202348
“We’re basically babysitters,” Border Patrol agents told Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday where she detailed her recent experience on the southern border.
Haley visited the Texas-Mexico border this week, meeting with officials and getting a firsthand view of the reality on the ground.
“I think crisis is an understatement,” Haley said, explaining she traveled from Hondo, Texas, through Del Rio down to Eagle Pass. She said she met with officials, including sheriffs, who are “really frustrated and furious because their law enforcement officers are going out there” to deal with crime related to lawlessness on the southern border. These officers use their resources to catch the illegal immigrants and then hand them over to Border Patrol, which ultimately releases them due to the Biden administration’s policies. This makes local police officers feel as if they are wasting their time.
Border Patrol agents appear to be unhappy, too.
