EXCLUSIVE: Border agents are 'defeated, demoralized and feel unwanted' because Biden is lifting 'the only deterrent left' against a migrant surge in Title 42 and 'pandering to the far-left' instead of protecting the U.S., union head says
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told DailyMail.com that border agents are feeling 'defeated', 'demoralized' and 'unwanted'
Judd said that President Biden is more worried about 'pandering to the far-left' than protecting American citizens
Title 42 is ending on May 23, which will lead to at least a tripling in border apprehensions, according to some estimates
Judd described the policy as the last real deterrent for illegal immigration
Said: 'Now they're talking about getting rid of the only deterrent that they left in place... And they're talking about doing it well, pandemic is still ongoing'

The National Border Patrol Council president says U.S. border agents are feeling 'defeated' and 'unwanted' under the Biden administration as immigration agencies prepare for a massive influx of 18,000 migrants every day once Title 42 is dropped.
Brandon Judd, in an interview with DailyMail.com on Wednesday, pleaded for President Joe Biden to stop 'pandering to the far-left' and start 'protecting the American public'.
'What are border patrol agents saying?' the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) president posed. 'We feel defeated.'
'We're extremely disappointed in this administration's unwillingness to protect the American public not only from a virus that has ravaged the country but also from those that would come into our country to do us harm,' Judd continued.
He said quelling the migration crisis 'can be fixed very easily through policy' but claims 'the administration won't do what the American public needs it to do.'
'And that, of course, makes us feel unwanted, it makes us feel unproductive, it demoralizes all of the agents,' Judd said.
