Border Patrol agents slam proposed Senate bill that guarantees entry of 1.5M illegals and directs majority of funds to Ukraine and Israel

The “Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024” is a legislation pushed by the Senate to allocate funding toward adding more personnel to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), detention beds to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, expelling certain illegal migrants and enhancing fentanyl interdiction.

President Joe Biden reportedly said he is eager to sign the bill. However, critics see that it does anything but “shut down” the southern U.S. border. In fact, it would guarantee the entry of 1.5 million illegals to the United States. The proposed $118 billion funding proposal offers more than $60 billion for Kyiv; more than $14 billion for Israel; and $10 billion for aid in Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine. Just roughly $20 billion in the 370-page bill is set aside for the U.S. border.

This is why four rank-and-file Border Patrol agents criticized it, telling the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) that the legislation would only allow the illegal immigration crisis to continue because “it allows for the release of family units and single adults that show a credible fear of persecution should they return home.”

“Now that I’ve seen more of it, they can respectfully go f*ck themselves. The more I see the more it just puts what they’ve been doing in writing. If you want to shut this down, it’s really easy. Team up [the Department of Defense] with DHS and let us enforce like we were supposed to,” one agent told DCNF, adding “I feel like we are the only nation in the world that is this dumb about the border. Maybe it’s because we haven’t.”

In recent years, Border Patrol has recorded high levels of illegal immigration. Agents recorded more than 2.2 million encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal year 2022, a new record, more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023 and more than 629,000 between October and January, according to federal data.

Another agent told the news outlet that “It’s a load of bull***t. We don’t need a border bill, we need to enforce the laws on the books,” adding: “Unaccompanied minors and families released, that’s unacceptable. They need to be removed.” Two more agents said that the bill is “bull***t” for various reasons, including the release of families and certain single adults with ‘credible fear’ claims. “Another loophole that aliens are going to abuse,” said a fourth agent.

Biden calls for passage of supplemental bill while condemning Trump for growing opposition in Congress

On Tuesday, Feb. 6, Biden urged Congress to pass the said national security supplemental bill that would provide major funding for wars the United States is waging. Some of the money, he claimed would “bolster border security.” But reports indicate that the support he is expecting is crumbling, especially from the right wing. The opposition from House Republicans was anticipated, but a growing number of Senate Republicans have also come out
