The acting border patrol chief for a section of the border is asking that a barrier is built in his sector and more agents be added to secure the border. This directly contradicts the Democrat’s narrative that the border crisis is a manufactured crisis.
According to The Daily Caller:
The acting border patrol chief for the Rio Grande Valley told Fox News he wants to see another 120 miles of border fencing in his Texas sector and an increase in the number of agents.
“Right now we would like to see about another 120 miles of fencing in this sector alone. We’ve got 277 miles of river country. It winds an awful lot,” Raul Ortiz said.
“But if we were able to get the infrastructure, a few more agents and certainly the technology, I like our chances against the transnational criminal organizations out there,” he continued. “What I say to anybody who says we don’t need those things, come walk in my shoes.”
Fox News’s Pete Hegseth said Ortiz appreciates President Donald Trump’s hands-on approach to the border crisis and said anyone who knows border security will stipulate that a wall is absolutely necessary.
The chief also said that he is happy the president is taking initiative on the issue and he is actually visiting the border to learn what is needed to improve the conditions there.
