As the new year approaches, the border crisis continues to escalate, with hundreds of migrants legally crossing into the United States on a daily basis. This surge of activity has forced Border Patrol agents to spend their holidays away from their loved ones, as they work diligently to process and transport the growing number of migrants. However, there is growing frustration among agents who feel that their efforts to enforce the law and secure the border are being undermined by the current administration's policies.
Agents on the ground have expressed their dissatisfaction, equating their roles to that of tourist guides and Uber drivers, as they find themselves predominantly processing and releasing individuals rather than enforcing immigration laws. Acting Commissioner Troy Miller recently called for more funding from Congress to address the ongoing surge, blaming smugglers for manipulating migrants into coming to the United States. However, critics argue that this narrative is a 'stone-cold lie' and that migrants are well aware of the lenient policies enacted by the current administration.
