If the Border Patrol isn't defending the border, what are they doing down there besides providing free police services to invading colonists and getting shot by Mexican bandits? National Border Patrol Council Local 2544 reveals the answer — picking up trash:
Teams of uniformed Border Patrol agents from the Casa Grande [AZ] station are being ordered to spend their duty shifts cleaning up trash on the Tohono O'Odham Indian reservation instead of performing the police work they were hired for. This is outrageous. Border Patrol agents are not dumping trash on the reservation, nor are we responsible for cleaning up the mess. Illegal aliens, smugglers, and reservation members are dumping trash on the reservation. For example, there are thousands upon thousands of empty quart beer bottles strewn about the reservation, dumped there by tribal members. Many tribal residents dump household trash wherever it's convenient. And as we all know, illegal aliens and smugglers could care less about littering in this country. Littering by tribal members and illegal aliens on the reservation has been going on for decades.
An update highlights the sophisticated equipment being issued to Border Patrol agents:
Our newest information indicates that agents showed up for muster at Casa Grande station and were ordered to report to the Tohono O'odham district office at Federal Route 19 and Baboquivari Park Road. They were issued sticks with nails in them and told to pick up trash along the roadsides. This was presumably in preparation for a meeting with tribal leaders at the District office so that certain BP managers could ingratiate themselves to the tribal leaders. We are disgusted by these actions.
There is a very high unemployment rate on the reservation, and in the country as a whole. The tribe is bringing in millions of dollars in casino revenue. How is it feasible that with an out-of-control border we are assigning Border Patrol agents to do work that many states and municipalities assign prisoners to perform? It is a minimum wage job that takes almost zero job skills, and this is how management decides to utilize Border Patrol manpower?
Of course. The idea is to keep their hands full so they won't interfere with the massive influx of undocumented Democrats.
Send the bill for trash collection to the Mexican’s on the other side...
I take that back. Anything is believable under the misrule known as Obamanation.
Don’t look to the Republican party for relief. They’re right in the thick of things in the area of failing to secure the borders, failing to round up and deport the illegals, and coming down on businesses that hire them.
a job better suited for the UN do-nothing bureaucrats.
There are a LOT of prisoners in the United States. I see prospects for gainful employment, here. For trustees only, of course. I mean, if they were illegal aliens with maybe a few weeks left on their sentence, we wouldn’t want them dashing back across the border in an act of self deportation, now would we?
Ping!
Or are they all watching Oprah, and busy...?
