Trump is determined to get his
way. He did another re-election speech this time in Phoenix and got the police
to pepper spray the protesters. He made another speech telling Americans that
he will be sending lots more troops to Afghanistan with no end in sight to the
fighting meanwhile he criticized Obama for not getting America out of there
fast enough. And now he wants to hire 5,000 more border patrol police and will
eliminate the polygraph portion to the application process in order to recruit
people to take the unwanted job. He knows more than anyone that lies don’t
matter! At least not to him.
He lied to us when he said that
Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico emphatically refuses to pay for the wall.
Now Trump has new rules for the border patrol. The patrol is not part of ICE
but is part of the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency. They
wear green uniforms and there are about 20,000 of them who literally patrol the
boundaries of this country. In recent years the Border Patrol hasn’t been
getting people just for drugs and crime. More people are rushing to our border
to escape violence and starvation from Dictators oppressing their people like
what is currently happening in Venezuela.
The people are seeking asylum
here. They do not run are happy to be caught because anything has to be better
than where they are trying to leave from. So a Border Patrol job is difficult
in that sometimes they are giving out blankets and offering humanitarian aid
and the next moment are chasing down a possibly armed drug dealer. It is a
difficult job that needs honest and brave workers. So, Trump’s desire to
increase the amount of agents without the proper background checks could leave
us with corrupt and dangerous people wearing our green uniforms. People with
less important jobs in America have to take lie detector tests. Trump is a
desperate man yearning for some kind of praise now at any cost!
The last hiring rush was ordered
by Bush after 911. Then he doubled the amount of agents from 10,000 to 20,000
Border Patrol Agents. Then Bush spent $8 million dollars advertising for the
job search including sponsoring a NASCAR car in races advertising the Border Patrol. The
truth is that the job is not so exciting or dangerous. Often one Border Patrol
agent has to patrol large desert areas alone. Boredom is a significant part of
their job yet they have to be alert when possibly something dangerous should
come along. Most of all the law enforcement agencies do require lie detector
testing. Without it now it will be real easy for corruption if we hire liars on
their applications and those who lie and possibly abuse people or take their
drugs and keep it for themselves. We need good honest people to patrol our
borders. As usual Trumps not so well thought out comments can be more dangerous
than productive.
TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL
SHUT DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT IF WE WILL NOT PAY FOR HIS WALL.
Apparently everyone can lie now.
Trump got elected partly on his promise to make Mexico pay for his wall.
Still a Trump supporter?
