One paper posted something that not only gave Hot Air a sigh but us as well.

Sigh. What next, the Marines actually don’t have the responsibility of fighting and winning America’s wars?

Border Patrol agents dont have the responsibility of apprehending illegal immigrants, Carlos X. Carrillo, chief patrol agent for the Laredo sector, said at a town hall meeting Wednesday.”The Border Patrol is not equipped to stop illegal immigrants,” Carrillo said, noting that illegal narcotics are also not on the agents priority list.

“The Border Patrol mission is not to do any of those things,” he emphasized.

The Border Patrols mission is to keep the country safe from terrorist and terrorist weapons, he said. Carrillo added that when and if terrorists come into the country, the agents will be ready.

So…the Border Patrol will only be ready when the bad guys are already inside the country? And they don’t actually have to stop illegals from crossing into the country? Then what does this Mission Statement mean?
Some in the media just don’t understand the core values of the border patrol.

Here is there mission statement (Photo: Customs and Border Protection)
