HACHITA, N.M. โ€” A Border Patrol agent wearing body armor was struck by gunfire but avoided serious injury Thursday while confronting the occupants of a vehicle suspected of migrant smuggling in New Mexico, federal authorities said.

Six people were taken into custody after the vehicle later crashed, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. The agency added that the agent was shot in the chest multiple times and was released after a medical examination.

from CIAP no less. This is a telegraph message to cartels. Brandon needs you to throttle back a bit.

“Biden also announced Thursday that the U.S. would immediately begin turning away Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who cross the border from Mexico illegally, expand on an existing effort to stop Venezuelans attempting to enter the U.S.”

Gosh - and here I thot Brandon was on the anti-discrimination side of the equation.

Again I’ve been proven wrong.

Joementia says if you take a job like that, you know the risk.

So, ills get airlifted to El Paso for medical on our dime. Joementia will probably visit and give them award. ๐Ÿค”

But the Brandon regime wonโ€™t turn away Hondurans, Guatemalans and El Salvadorans, obviously.

This is part of the El Paso sector for those who are wondering. This area of New Mexico is very sparsely populated and pretty wide open.

I am beyond tired of the politicians & the BLEEDING HEARTS having the power to place the rest of the USA in Constant Jeopardy.

They are totally wrong..

MILLIONS of Americans are at the breaking point

The politicians are doing it more openly.

THE BLEEDING HEARTS are doing it under cover of “COMPASSION”.

How COMPASSIONATE will they be when Americans are killed/injured every day with the masses of ILLEGAL INVADERS keep arriving.

I have been all along that part of the border from the Arizona border to El Paso. Stopped for lunch in Columbus New Mexico.

The last time I flew a plane a few years back, I flew along the border from El Paso to Douglas AZ. I was appalled by the amount of trash that was dumped by illegals. There was everything from abandoned vehicles to paper. There must have been thousands of tons of trash along the entire flight path.

This is a blatant invasion of our country.

Where is the Teddy Roosevelt or General Pershing of today who will raise an army and chase them all back into Mexico?

I lived near here until 2019. I’m glad I no longer do.

Makes you wonder where those environmental organizations that filed hundreds of lawsuits against the Trump administration over the wall are now. Oh, they are busy counting their monetary contributions from China.

I can see Jo Jo Let’s Go Brandon issuing gold Freedom Medals to every freeloading illegal alien who sneaks into the country. He’s a demented moron. He’ll probably give them a full rebate for the money they paid the “coyotes” to sneak their asses across the Rio Grande.

Yep. The Nature Conservancy (based in Tucson) and the other far left environmental groups have been silent about this. Meanwhile, the Mimbres River in SE Arizona has been polluted with all of the garbage dumped there.
