NOGALES, ARIZONA – The immigration debacle is taking its toll on the 60,000-plus members of the US Border Patrol, agents and former top officials told The Post.
According to Rodney Scott, the former chief of the Border Patrol, many border agents sit aghast as they process hundreds of adult males, mostly from Venezuela, with tattoos and tough manners.
“You know they are gang members, but there’s no database to pass them off and they won’t admit it so we can’t document them as gang members,” Scott told The Post. “They’re just getting released into the United States.”
Scott said that one officer told him: “I feel like I’m part of the smuggling organization.”
