Former U.S. Border Patrol chief Mark Morgan just broke with the hysterical Democrats and wiped the smirk off Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s face.
This guy knows more about the crisis at our border than newcomers like AOC, who while full of energy remains short on facts.
Look, we have a crisis at our border and we have some very simple solutions. Trump has proposed them and while he is open to refining them if the Democrats will work with him, they remain steadfast in opposition.
Choosing, like AOC, political theater to actually doing the work to solve the crisis.
From Fox News: Obama-era Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan said recent accusations by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) about the men and women who protect the southern border were “wrong” and “reckless.”
The freshman House Democrat, speaking to her followers on Instagram Live Wednesday, said border agents are mistreating illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers based on their “national origin.”
“At least I’m not trying to cage children at the border and inject them with drugs. That’s not a mistake, that’s just hatred,” she said during a diatribe against Republicans.
Morgan responded on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” saying he would attempt to restrain his comments about Ocasio-Cortez’s rhetoric.
“The United States Border Patrol should be applauded,” he said, explaining agents have been doing the best they can since 2014, as facilities became overcrowded and they scrambled to find solutions for the safety and security of those being detained.
Carlson said Ocasio-Cortez is accusing Americans of “being cruel for cruelty’s sake” and it’s shocking to hear from a member of Congress. Morgan said based on 30 years of public service, the current border crisis is the worst it has ever been.
He said American immigration laws are broken and authorities cannot handle the number of family units who are making the trip to the border. Morgan said from his experience, the men and women of the Border Patrol care for the children in custody “like their own.”
