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.

“...We should call in a judge..suspend all parental rights to these kids and then fly them back to their country of origin and turn them over to their own CPS.”

In most of those countries, CPS is what we would call a “pimp”.

Boys on the loose - just what Queer Nation/Obamanation wants.

The entire non-Old World geographic region of the earth might be an extension of the biblical notion of coastlands. When push comes to shove, it’s Palestine and the physically adjoining areas that are going to matter most. America might have been a big shot in worldly terms.

Another possible reference is the bear with her cubs (England and the colonies).

The gospel made America great. Whiffing on the gospel took the greatness away. We might by mercy see a reprieve if enough people get serious about the Lord again. But one thing about this sinful world is that generations come and go, and virtuous fathers can have rotten sons.

But it is even worse than that. The Soros Administration is flooding us with these aliens in order to overwhelm the native population, to reduce us to the level of a Third World stinking, disease-ridden, filthy hell hole.

Yep. This is an evil, diabolical plot, part of the "community organizer in chief's" Cloward-Piven Strategy to destroy the US.

Can't have the peasants actually documenting the treason.

And as usual the GOPe will bluster and do...nothing.

The explanation for these travisties is simple. Go to your local Mall and ask ANY question of 100 shoppers/voters ! If 1% of those polled can answer your question, I will be amazed. Remember, ANY question ! With very few exceptions, Americans know nothing.

I agree completely that there needs to be an investigation. Who is calling for one? I don’t hear anyone demanding an investigation...the most I’ve heard is that 0 is lawless.
