The Biden Administration Will No Longer Use Horses At A Texas Border Crossing
The Biden administration has suspended the use of horse patrols at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing in Del Rio, Texas, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Thursday.
Images began circulating earlier in the week of Border Patrol agents on horseback corralling a group of mostly Haitian migrants at a makeshift camp along the banks of the Rio Grande. Officials said some agents used horse reins during the clashes, which were mistaken for whips.
Photos and video from the scene drew widespread condemnation from some Democrats and civil rights groups — as well as top officials in the Biden administration. (snip)
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas informed civil rights leaders Thursday morning of the decision to suspend the use of horse patrols in Del Rio, Psaki added.
This just makes it harder for the Border Patrol to do their job, but, then, that’s what the Dementia Joe admin wants, things to be harder and more illegals to stream across the border. It’s a lot harder, and more dangerous, for the agents to do this on foot. Using motorcycles and ATVs is an option, but, still not as easy. This simply puts the agents at risk from assault by the illegals, so, they’ll probably just not get involved.
Many, including Republicans, have said that what’s happening at the border is just mismanagement by the Biden admin. No, it is intentional
A crisis is a terrible thing to create.
The incredible scenes in Del Rio, Texas, over the last week of the formation of an instant migrant encampment of 15,000 people on U.S. soil are a direct result of the Biden administration’s feckless policies at the border.
The administration and its apologists blame the spread of bad information for the decision of Haiti migrants to travel en masse to Del Rio, but it was really the spread of good information — the presumption that they could make it into the U.S. and some significant number of them would be allowed to stay.
This is exactly what’s happening, despite attempts by the administration at misdirection.
The headline is wrong. This is not a failure. This is what the Biden admin wants. That they are making happen. Taking away the horses will make the border less secure.
