GOP Rep: The Border Patrol Works As “Travel Agents”

“We have brave men and women of Border Patrol who are down there ready, willing and able, who want to enforce our laws, who want to fight for our country. And instead, as you point out, they’re being assigned tasks like passing out blankets and working as travel agents to just bring people into this country.

“We don’t know who they are. We don’t know where they’re going. We do know that quite a number of these people, some are even on the terror watch list and they’re getting spread out throughout America with these notices to appear that many of them simply ignore.

“So this is a crisis that is a true danger to our country and something that House Republicans are committed to putting a stop to.” – GOP Rep. Laurel Lee, this morning on Fox News.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Lee as his secretary of state in 2019 after her predecessor resigned in a blackface scandal. She then embarked on a crusade to purge felons from voter rolls if they had outstanding court debts. Lee, a freshman, was replaced as secretary of state by QAnon nutbag Cory Bryd.
