When Zach Taylor, a retired U.S. Border Patrol supervisory agent, talked about the situation on the U.S. border with Mexico, he didn't pull any punches.
Disputing assertions by Barack Obama, the president, and Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security, that the border is "safer than it's been in years," Taylor was blunt in his disagreement:
"It's more dangerous than I've seen in my 26 years in the Border Patrol."
According to Taylor, ever since the Border Patrol was moved from the jurisdiction of the Justice Department after 9/11 to the Department of Homeland Security, it's become a political tool of those who don't see border issues as law enforcement matters.
Taylor was speaking to citizens at an event sponsored by the Cochise County Republican Committee in Arizona, and he leveled with them.

Monday-morning Ping!
Thank you for the thread JH2.
The Obama Machine has weakened our defenses, dissed our allies, embraced our foes and seriously compromised our ability to respond financially and militarily — and then stonewalled and lied to the country about it — tick tock.
I wonder how long Obama’s pardon list will be.
“It’s more dangerous than I’ve seen in my 26 years in the Border Patrol.”

Standard pattern for UN “Agenda 21” ~ no international borders Sovergnty as a prelude to (NWO) New World Order
Rick Perry understands this crap! Joe Arpaio understands this crap!
I used to live in Cochise county and there was no problem when citizens could aid in the patrol.
I never even locked my doors there because my neighbors had my back.
Now the Fed has us all locked down.
FUBO!!
For Mr. Obama to know something, they’d have to put it in the screen crawl on an NBA game.
There is a huge corridor in Az, The Tohano O’dham Indian reservation.
It runs from the sea of cortez to tucson, and its all off limits! since it is a sovereign nation.
Now the Organ Pipe National Monument is off limits too, thanks to our stinking Federal government.
The Huachucas too..
FUBO!!
Come again?
“Monday-morning Ping!”
Late left coast Sunday night bump!
“He says agents are denied the right to do their jobs because they are denied access to much federal land in their efforts to track illegal aliens and drug traffickers.”
Border agents are feds. So.............why?
Oh, yeah...
“According to a report on his presentation in the Arizona Range News, in 1952 the Border Patrol was granted unlimited access to all private and state lands up to 100 miles inland from the border. This enabled law enforcement to deal with direct border issues and track illegals as they traveled inland through the thousands of acres of federal and private land.
But now, Taylor says, that’s changed and much of that land is off limits to the Border Patrol. But drug cartels aren’t stupid. They don’t have those restrictions, which gives them free access to U.S. land for transit and observation posts to track Border Patrol activity, situations confirmed to me by county sheriffs.”
The result?
“Taylor ended his talks with photos of dismembered bodies and heads left behind by drug gangs, often on U.S. territory.
He told the group, “The border has become lawless,” and he sees more violence headed our way.”
It’s so good to see you, again, JH2!
Joyeaux Noel, y’all!
BTW, Obama knows this.
“The Obama Machine has weakened our defenses, dissed our allies, embraced our foes and seriously compromised our ability to respond financially and militarily — and then stonewalled and lied to the country about it — tick tock.”
“..The Obama Machine has weakened our defenses”
Wait until the mandatory defense reductions take place since the failure of the ‘Super Committee’ occurred; Governeors asked for military assistance ~ and got 15 FED signs telling lawful Americans to use alternate routes due to ‘danger of drug cartels and illegal immigrants ‘.
“.. dissed our allies,...”
Do you mean the purposeful international sabotage of the governments of Syria , Egypt , Baharain , Turkey , and then isolating and encircleing Isreal ?
“.. embraced our foes...”
Do you mean like the embracing of the “Muslim Brotherhood”, by the Dept. of State Hillary Clinton , whose first assistant is linked to “Muslim Brotherhood” leadership ?
“.. and seriously compromised our ability to respond financially and militarily... “
Do you mean the one President to run up national debt in three years to exceed the entire history of all the American Presidents combined( from George Washingtion (#1) through to George W Bush (#34)) in three years of his first term ?
The first President to reflect a downgrade of credit worthiness on the International financial markets ?
All of this in only 3 years .. ?
And then refuses to accept personal responsibility ?.. and says it is all “Bush’s Fault” ?
Move along !!
Nothing to see here !!
Move along !! /sarc
We are at the mercy of the Feds.
Perry is fighting that. I am fighting that.
Things were better when the people on the border controlled the border.
Looks like some asshats in Pennsylvania protesting things on the border to me LoL.
Can we get a time and a place stamp on that photo?
“He says agents are denied the right to do their jobs because they are denied access to much federal land in their efforts to track illegal aliens and drug traffickers.”
Border agents are feds. So.............why?”
Because some desert salamander has more rights than national sovergnty.
Because we wouldn’t want to impede the illegal drug supply to inner-cities.
Because we arm our border security with “Bean-bags” while the illegal drug cartels get armed by the FED with high powered rifles. Maybe we should invent “tortillabags” and “Rice-bags” so that they can get a fully nutritious meal while they kill our Border Agents with our FED subsidized and provided high powered firearms.Instead of HOmeland Security , perhaps we should ask for the Federal Dept. of Agriculture to defend the borders ?
Thank Goodness that the desert salmander has more rights than an American citizen . /sarc
Tip of the hat to you..
"It's more dangerous than I've seen in my 26 years in the Border Patrol."
Which was when? And how does he know?
Why doesn’t the American public know this?
