The National Border Patrol Council has come forward to reveal to the American public once again management practices that could be risking the lives of Americans -- and the lives of illegal immigrants.
Shawn Moran, Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council, spoke exclusively with Breitbart News and claimed that Border Patrol management has begun the practice of ordering Border Patrol Agents to stand down and cease pursuing drug smugglers, human smugglers and traffickers, and illegal aliens.

Obama’s treasonous MANPAD transfer to al Qaeda now
has wide-open fenestrated borders to further allow
it all “to come home ... to roost”, as his teacher says.
The border patrol are being reassigned to guarding Washington from WW2 vets crossing barrycades.
"..I'll have more leeway after I win, the MSM say's I have a lock on it, tell Putty, the southern border will be wide open after our budget crisis, we're working on"
excellent point, someone is failing their job.../sarc
This is absolutely criminal, and the person(s) behind this, at every level, need prison time.
Obama, the “Make it Hurt” President.
Thing is, the money is still being spent, according to the article. It’s just being spent on the high-ups as a reward for telling the guys actually trying to protect us to stand down instead.
A lot like Benghazi...
When we let crap like Benghazi go, we get a lot more of it, and it’s not just gonna be 4 government workers who get killed out of this. Obama, the “Make it Hurt” President, will make sure that civilians - lot of civilians - end up dead because of his own political posturing.
He hates us, and it’s time we change the Obamacare hotline phone number to 1-800-FUBHO
Actually, that someone is me. A proper reading shows that the guarantee is of a "republican form of government". The guarantee doesn't, from a strictly grammatical point of view, apply to invasion. A case of too much caffiene this AM.
you are more alert than I.....
what no Barry Cades available?
send some down from the WW2 memorial
actually aren’t they sending them from the borders to monuments?
An open invite to Al-Qeada to move men and resources for the next attack.
