President Biden’s former chief of the United States Border Patrol, Rodney Scott made a stunning claim about Biden’s ongoing border crisis during a Fox News interview. Scott says that thousands of migrants have already been released into the country and the border is significantly less secure than it was during the previous administration.
According to The Daily Wire:
“The real thing that’s changed is the focus on border security in general, and acknowledging that border security is critical to homeland security, and actually trying to control the border,” Scott told Fox News anchor Bret Baier. “The messaging has changed. I personally participated in some of the transition meetings, my staff participated in all of the transition meetings, we made it very clear that if we dropped all the initiatives that had been put in place over the last several years, that we would get an influx of mass migration that we would not be able to control. The current secretary, Mayorkas, he work is he was part of DHS before, he ran CIS. He clearly understands and knows how to control the border and what needs to take place.
Scott said that the administration was intentionally “choosing not to take simple common-sense steps to secure the border.”
Scott said that what really sparked Biden’s border crisis was the administration started creating special carve-out protections for certain groups of people, which he said immediately causes people to exploit the system.
“The result of that is the message goes out and then instead of having a couple hundred encounters a day, we quickly went up to about 6,000 encounters a day,” Scott said. “The little bit of misleading messaging in the public today too is they think this is just Mexico or South America. Border Patrol caught people from 150 different countries coming through Mexico into the United States, this last year before I retired.”
Scott’s claims come as the Biden administration has repeatedly attempted to downplay the border crisis to Americans and the media. However, shocking footage of the border has shown thousands of migrants brazenly crossing the border and others camping under a Texas overpass.
