After Leaked Photos Expose Unaccompanied Child Crisis, Border Patrol Agents Threatened With Firings
Townhall ^ | June 9, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Last week, photos surfaced from Texas and Arizona showing Border Patrol processing centers overwhelmed as thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America continue to need shelter and resources. The photos show hundreds of children sleeping in crowded, chain linked cages. Agents have described the situation as a humanitarian crisis.

In response to the leaked images out of Arizona, Patrol Agent in Charge Leslie Lawson is cracking down on the use of personal technology by agents in the Nogales Border Patrol processing center.

"Due to the recent unauthorized use of a personally owned electronic device in the Nogales Processing Center, the use of such devices will be restricted to locations outside of detention areas," Lawson wrote in a June 6 memo to all employees at the Nogales station. "Effective immediately, the use of personally owned cellular phones, cameras, or recording devices in the Nogales Detention Facility and the Nogales Processing Center is strictly prohibited. All personnel working or visiting detention facilities at the Nogales Station will be required to turn off these electronic devices and store them in a locker other secure location prior to entering the detention area."

According to sources, agents have been threatened with firings if found to have leaked the photos to media.

"They are looking to fire any agents involved," one source said anonymously for fear of losing their job.

‘Leaked images’? Really?

Just how long does this stupid government THINK the land swell of undocumented, illegal and otherwise criminal immigrants to this country BE kept secret?

• If border officials ‘leaked’ a photo... so what?
• When DOES the administration plan to officially announce that THEY have authorized this?
• When DOES this administration plan to officially announce their plan for coping with consequence of this policy?
• Why DOES this administration want so desperately to set up a third-world, disease ridden, criminal petri dish, epicenter of poverty and refugee camp RIGHT HERE in the United States?
• Once “O’s” administration casts this disgraceful and gratuitously manufactured humanitarian debacle in the faces of American taxpayers, will he also attempt to foist culpability and guilt for their situation, on US?

I am at the gag point considering where this will inevitably lead. Haven’t we been robbed, insulted and deceived enough by this malicious clown?

Maybe instead of firing the agents they should deport the problem.

I agree. Send him back to Kenya.

These kids are set in motion from their home countries and permitted free passage through Mexico as a direct strategy of the Democrat party to advance an invasion for the explicit purpose of overthrowing the US Constitution.

There needs to be an investigation into who is paying to spread the word in Guatemala, etc., that they should be sent here. Who is paying off the Mexicans (who otherwise are aggressive in their border enforcement) to look the other way as they transit. Follow that money and you'll find out who is funding the subversion of the nation.

If we don’t let nobama have his way on 100%, then this is only a portion of the payback we’ll get during the next 2 years.

Who is Leslie Lawson or Lawless?

Photograph her. Put her in news articles. And why isn’t the media taking photos in Obama’s detention camps?

There is so much iniquity going on that, ironically, trials may be beside the point. A sea change, an earthquake shift, in the body politic might result from a personal rededication to the Lord multiplied millions of times over. And it should be an era of grace if it happens. Let the bygones be bygones, as happened when the Confederacy surrendered.

A re-gonading (sp?) is what the doctor called for.

These pictures will not help dems. I'm sure that a percentage of these teenagers left home without their parents blessing. They're minors. Shouldn't they be returned to their parents? How many will end up involved with sex or drug trafficking? Then there's the fact that they're teenagers. What you've got is thousands of unsupervised teenagers on summer break....what could go wrong? Especially since they've left anything that might possibly promote moral behavior....family, community, Church.

It's a CHILDREN'S CRUSADE, for heaven's sake. Obama is using youth from impoverished countries to complete the invasion of the US.

What's going to happen in a few years when they join the military? They'll have absolutely no loyalty to US citizens. In these numbers their loyalty will be to their hispanic culture.

What Obama is doing is dumping every single illegal thing he wants to happen on the US at once, while the RINO ptb are more interested in defeating conservatives than they are in saving the US. Heck they're probably thrilled with this new source of cheap labor.

I'm even more disgusted, every day.

Deport the lil’ “bachelor’s children” back to the other side of the Mexican border.

Otherwise, read “A Modest Proposal” by Swift, Jonathon, 1729.

Issue some H-4’s for Papua and have experienced Long Pig chefs officiate at the “Diversity BBQ”.

It’s not a problem, it’s an untapped resource.
