The official union of U.S. Customs and Border Protection released a statement on Thursday backing the Texas National Guard’s attempts to secure the southern border and slamming the Biden administration for its “catastrophic” border policies. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC)‚ which has over 18‚000 members‚ said that the “rank-and-file” Border Patrol agents “appreciate and respect” the measures Texas has taken to repel the record flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. under Biden. “TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other’s jobs. Period‚” the NBPC said. “If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders‚ then they have to carry out those orders.” Earlier this week‚ Texas Governor Greg Abbott doubled down on using razor wire to repel migrants from illegally crossing the border after the Supreme Court ruled that Border Patrol agents have the authority to cut through the wire to allow illegal immigrants into the country. On Friday‚ The Daily Wire found that Texas authorities have not only maintained existing razor wire fortifications but have added razor wire to border barriers‚ all while continuing to bar Border Patrol from establishing a presence at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.

Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed.” The NBPC then ripped the Biden administration for its border policies and the negative consequences they have had on America. “Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America‚” the statement continued. “We want to be perfectly clear‚ there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG‚ Gov. Abbott‚ or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines‚ but it simply isn’t true.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP A senior CBP official told Fox News on Friday that there are “no plans” to remove the razor wire being installed by the Texas National Guard after the Supreme Court’s ruling. “While this issue plays out in the courts‚ the relationship between Border Patrol‚ Texas DPS [Department of Public Safety]‚ &; TMD [Texas Military Dept.] remains strong‚” the official said. “Our focus is and will always be the mission of protecting this country and its people. On the ground‚ we continue to work alongside these valuable partners in that endeavor.” “Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure (c-wire) placed by Texas along the border‚” the CBP official added. “Our posture remains the same. If we need to access an area for emergency response‚ we will do so. When that happens‚ we will coordinate with Texas DPS &; TMD.”

Billionaire Elon Musk rebuked President Joe Biden on Friday after the president blamed Congress for the worsening border crisis. “Congress needs to finally provide the funding I requested in October to secure the border‚” Biden said in a statement on Friday‚ following backlash. “This includes an additional 1‚300 border patrol agents‚ 375 immigration judges‚ 1‚600 asylum officers‚ and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines to help detect and stop fentanyl at our southwest border.” “For everyone who is demanding tougher border control‚ this is the way to do it‚” he captioned his statement. “If you’re serious about the border crisis‚ pass a bipartisan bill and I will sign it.” For everyone who is demanding tougher border control‚ this is the way to do it. Here's my full statement on border security negotiations: pic.twitter.com/sm2IXV99Lx — President Biden (@POTUS) January 27‚ 2024 “No laws need to be passed‚” Musk responded. “All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be.” No laws need to be passed. All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 27‚ 2024 Musk went on to suggest that even a border wall is not necessary for Biden to act. “Building a wall is a red herring. No wall is needed to fix this situation‚” he wrote. “Border Patrol is being instructed to facilitate illegal entry at scale into the United States. The fundamental problem is that anyone can claim asylum with zero proof‚ which means all of Earth can come to America.” Building a wall is a red herring. No wall is needed to fix this situation. Border Patrol is being instructed to facilitate illegal entry at scale into the United States. The fundamental problem is that anyone can claim asylum with zero proof‚ which means all of Earth can come… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 27‚ 2024 Responding to a post that said‚ “Biden’s policy is open borders. Everything else is noise‚” Musk reacted‚ “That is undeniable at this point.” That is undeniable at this point https://t.co/yUnqNDQmfh — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 27‚ 2024 Earlier this week‚ Daily Wire Emeritus Ben Shapiro also said the border crisis could be fixed by Biden‚ who Shapiro said is “abandoning his constitutional duties and abdicating the presidency of the United States.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I’ve been down to the border. It is‚ indeed‚ wide open‚ and that facilitates the incentivization of drug cartels to pour millions of people into the United States and move tons of fentanyl across the southern border‚ the cause of over 100‚000 American deaths a year‚” he wrote. “This is Biden abandoning his constitutional duties and abdicating the presidency of the United States. It is evil for the president of the United States to do such. The equivalent would be if a mayor of a large city simply announced they are not going to police crime anymore. The fundamental duty of the federal government is to protect the people and the borders of the United States of America.” “It is a federally mandated duty for the government of the United States to do that. It is a federal issue — not a state issue. Biden has not only signally failed‚ but he has also done the opposite of good. He has facilitated all of this — with terrible border policy. It is wrong. It should be against the law. The federal government has one job and one job only in the end: to protect you‚ to protect your rights‚” Shapiro added.

Although you might think of the King’s Guard and their horses as one of the many tourist attractions to see while visiting London‚ they’re not there for our entertainment.
