Acting Border Chief Expected to Resign as Migrant Children Are Returned to Texas Facility
MSN News ^ | 6/25/2019 | Caitlin Dickerson and Zolan Kanno-Young

The Customs and Border Protection agency’s acting commissioner, John Sanders, is expected to step down in the coming weeks as the government’s primary border enforcement executive, a federal official said Tuesday, a development that comes as the agency faces continuing public fury over the treatment of detained migrant children.

The news of the resignation came shortly after agency officials disclosed that more than 100 children have been returned to a troubled Border Patrol station in Clint, Tex., a location where a group of lawyers who visited recently said hundreds of minor detainees had been housed for weeks without access to showers, clean clothing, or sufficient food.

"The official who confirmed his resignation, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter, said it was not clear whether the impending resignation was connected to recent criticism over the agency’s management of a large influx of migrant families along the border."

This is a New York Times story based on a leak by an anonymous official. It may or may not be true.

Is this the same guy who leaked the ICE raid info to sanctuary cities? If so, I’d be inclined to say good riddance.

Are they this concerned about the millions of homeless AMERICANS who need medical treatment?

Yeah, they’d be much better off south of the border so crank up the busses.

“Public fury”? I guess I missed that, except from the usual suspects, none of whom was “furious” when mullah Baraq was doing the same thing.

The pattern is that a few weeks after some real screwup, like the “Roundup Leak” the bad guy departs. “You’re Fired”. Of course it’s blamed on other things.

I don’t pretend to like DJT, but I’m in favor of the vast majority of what he’s doing. It ain’t rocket science. What is rocket science is DJT escaping the alligators at his heels 24/7 for 2+ years straight.

I'm just not seeing the "fury". Folks don't seem to be lit about this much at all. Not even to the level of a mis-gendered tranny, or a thirty-year-old booted from his mom's basement, or a feminazi denied reimbursement for birth control, or any other liberal grass roots member with undies bundled. Maybe folks know this is fake news designed more to hurt a sitting president than to help anyone else.

BS. The “fury” is we are still being invaded and we’re not even deporting illegals ordered deported by a judge. LOCK IT DOWN & KICK ‘EM THE HELL OUT!

I don’t give a rat’s backside what happens to these invading parasites or their kids. They don’t either or they would not drag their kids over thousands of miles of desert.

I care about the kids. Unless they are unaccompanied teens they had no choice in the matter. They are victims of serious neglect or abuse.

However I don’t as an American think this is my fault.

It is the fault of the parents, or the coyotes, or the exploiters, or even perhaps sometimes liars who give false information to naive
parents.

Best they are not physically here at all. But if they are here we must do right by them. That does not mean somehow make them automatic citizens. But repatriate responsibly, to proper parents or to lawful authorities that will look out for them as citizens of whatever country they are from.

“...the government’s primary border enforcement executive...”

That description right there shows it is definitely not true because we have no border enforcement. Now, he may have some kind of position, but no job...

Many of these kids were being brought in as sex slaves for the pedophile Johns in America. Their “parents” were operating for the drug cartels who are trying to open up a new market for the American dollar.

I don’t think they become our responsibility just because their illegal alien parasite parents drag them here. Doing “right” by them should consist of returning them to the other side of the border at their point of entry as quickly as possible, preferably hundreds of miles on the other side of the border. I don’t care what happens to any of these invaders or how much it sucks for them. They could have avoided any unpleasantness inflicted on them by staying in their sh*thole of origin.

"Where are they supposed to go?"

They're either from Mexico or they passed through Mexico without being stopped so, drop them in the nearest Mexican city, that's where they supposed to go and let the Mexicans clean up the mess they created.

They should go back to their homes. They have sufficient food in our detention facilities. Yes they get fed the same thing over and over again burritos, cheese crackers, juice and water. It may get old and it may not taste great but it is sufficient. We do not have clothing for them, I dont know why we would be expected to have it. Nobody invited them here, if they want a change of clothing than they should bring it. We already provide shelter, food, medical care and yes we do provide showers although they dont get one everyday.

You are correct we dont enforce the border because we cant stop anyone from crossing. It is the most frustrating part of being a border patrol agent.
