On September 11, former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott sent a letter to Senate leadership warning about serious law-enforcement and national-security vulnerabilities at the Southwest border.
He started as a Border Patrol agent in 1992, eventually rising to sector chief in El Centro and San Diego before being named Chief of the Border Patrol in 2020.
His reasons for writing that letter are set forth therein: Scott is "Sickened by the avoidable and rapid disintegration of what was arguably the most effective border security in" U.S. history in the last few months.
With respect to that national security threat, Scott posits that if "[l]ow level, unsophisticated and uneducated smugglers are illegally crossing the border and increasingly evading apprehension daily", why wouldn't "Well-resourced terrorist networks, criminal organizations[s], and hostile nations" not be "Doing the same"?
"He also encourages those leaders"to ask questions about the surge in" Border Patrol "personnel assigned to the border in Texas.
Respectfully, if the president or his subordinates have hidden the threats posed by terrorists exploiting an out-of-control border, or are blithely accepting that dangerous people may enter areas of the border that are being left undermanned as they reassign agents to change diapers, "Electoral" consequences are not the only ones that they should be facing.
Reading Scott's letter, one comes away with the impression that the border is like a basketball game where smugglers and cartels are the Harlem Globetrotters and Biden's DHS advisors are their perennial patsies, the Washington Generals - the latter basically mailing it in, but trying just hard enough to make a show of it for the fans.
