Former Obama Border Patrol Chief Calls For The Border Wall:‘Enough Is Enough’

Former U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) chief during the Obama administration is breaking silence and speaks in support of President Trump’s push for border security.

Mark Morgan is speaking out about his support for improving our border security, from bashing Democrats for calling the situation at the southern border a “manufactured crisis” to roasting the “irony” in CNN’s Jim Acosta’s reporting at the border.

This Wednesday, Mark Morgan attended the Trump Coalition Press Conference that was held by Women for Trump and Angel Families.

The former border chief spoke during the event and encouraged Americans to be united and said “enough is enough” when it comes to deaths caused by our “broken immigration system.”

“Not one more citizen should die because we have a broken immigration system and open borders,” said Morgan.

There were many other speakers during the event including U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise.

Rep. Liz Cheney stood firm saying that House Republicans stand with President Donald Trump to secure the borders.

Republican Steve Scalise began his speech by saying, “Our hearts and our prayers are with the families of everybody who’s lost a loved one because somebody that was here illegally took their life,” adding, “it shouldn’t happen in America.”

Scalise also noted that the “battle” is ultimately about keeping America safe by securing our border.

“Don’t let anybody tell you this is about closing our borders,” Scalise added.

“We let over a million people into our country every single year legally. No country’s close. So America will continue to be the most generous nation, but we’re also a nation of laws and we need to get back to that rule of law.”

This Wednesday in an interview on Hill.TV, Morgan slammed the “absolutely false” idea walls don’t work along the border.

“One of the best ones is walls are ineffective,” Morgan noted one of the “false information” that is “misleading the American people. “2006, the bipartisan Secure Fence Act. 2013, the Senate passes a bipartisan immigration bill with $8 billion dollars included in a fence, and just last year, there was money for fencing and barriers.”

The former border and customs patrol chief Yuma, Arizona as an example where “they build 23 miles of a physical barrier, and then they added additional technology and personnel. Illegal immigration went from a 150,000 to 15,000 overnight, and there’s countless examples of that.”

Los Angeles Police Officer Arrested After Allegedly Trying to Smuggle Illegal Immigrants Across Border

LAPD Officer has been arrested and federally charged after allegedly trying to smuggle two people through an immigration checkpoint in Southern California.

Mambasse Koulabalo Patara is the police officer from Los Angeles Police Department, who will be faced with violating immigration laws after a federal complaint was filed against him on Wednesday.

Patara was arrested Tuesday morning at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Pine Valley, located about 12 miles north of the border crossing between the U.S and Mexico.

Mambasse Koulabalo Patara drove up to the checkpoint with 2 male passengers in a 2006 Toyota Corolla at 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the federal complaint.

While the Border Patrol agents interviewed Patara, he showed them his LAPD badge and told that he was off-duty, the federal complaint states. After the agents patted him down, they found his service-issued gun on his waistband, according to the complaint.

Patara reportedly said to the border agents that his two passengers were citizens of the U.S. But both of the passengers identified as Herman Lopez and his nephew German Ramirez Gonzalez admitted that they were in the country illegally.

All three of them were transported to the Campo Border Patrol Station and arrested the same day.

The people from his neighbourhood in Fontana, were in disbelief.

‘I heard what happened, and I’m really shocked,’ said one woman. ‘They’ve always just been a really nice family ever since my husband and I have lived here. […] There are always multiple sides to every story, so I think that’s important for everyone to keep in mind […] before jumping to conclusions on these types of things.’

‘I just don’t believe that he’s doing that. I don’t believe at all that he’s capable of doing something like that.’ Another neighbour told CBS2.

Patara has been placed on paid administrative leave, an LAPD spokesperson confirmed to CBS2.

If he is convicted, Patara will face up to five years in prison.
