CNN Tries To Shame Border Patrol Agent, Fails

Authored by Benny Johnson via The Daily Caller,

CNN brought on Chris Cabrera, a spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council, Tuesday to discuss the Trump administration enforcing America’s border laws.

The Trump administration has enacted a policy of zero tolerance when enforcing America’s border laws. The laws result in separating some families if they cross the border illegally at non-checkpoint locations.

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin brought on Cabrera to grill him over the enforcement of the policy. However, it was Baldwin who got the grilling when Cabrera fact-checked her over the status of immigrants at the border.

“There’s so much being thrown at people who don’t know as much about immigration certainly as you do as a border patrol agent, but there a a couple of ways to come into this country if you’re an undocumented immigrant and you come out on the Rio Grande river, that’s illegal,” Baldwin said.

Cabrera countered, “Even if you’re a U.S. citizen, it’s illegal.”

Baldwin then asked specifically about delays for asylum seekers.

Cabrera said bluntly, “We’ve had this situation going on for four years now. I don’t think you can necessarily blame it on one administration or another. It started under one and is continuing under another. It hasn’t been fixed and it needs to be fixed.”

He continued, “Right now we have this beacon of, ‘We’ll leave the light on for you and let you come illegally into the country.’ If you’ve seen some of the stuff we’ve seen, you’d understand how important it is to have a tough stance to divert people from coming here.

Cabrera then bluntly told Baldwin some of the horrors he has seen.

“When you see a 12-year-old girl with a plan B pill, her parents put her on birth control because they know getting violated is part of the journey, that’s a terrible way to live. When you see a 4-year-old girl traveling alone with just her parents phone number written across her shirt.

We had a 9-year-old boy have heat stroke in front of us and die with no family around. That’s because we’re allowing people to take advantage of this system.”

The retelling of the child horror stories elicited an audible gasp from Baldwin.

Cabrera went on to say that it’s up to Congress to change the law, but until then his agents will continue to enforce the laws on the books.

Most of our agents are parents. I’ve seen guys and I’ve done it myself, you give your last bottle of water to a kid, you’ll take a toy out of your car to give to one of these kids because you know the situation they’re in.”

Caberera said. “Agents are very sympathetic. We’re human, we’re fathers, we have families. We do a lot for the communities here, whether or not a camera is involved. Our agents are very involved. And nobody saves more lives along the southwestern border than the U.S. Border patrol.

Of course, truth and facts don’t matter anymore now that this has become the latest Democrat and liberal media talking point… but do they really think they can stretch this to the midterms?

Pelosi – MS-13 are just misunderstood hard-working S. Americans looking for a better life and to assimilate into our culture. Of course, they will still be cutting off feet, arms, necks, and flaying faces and chests, but we should all recognize the strength of diversity and welcome them.

When we talk about all these poor children we always invoke the image of young children, little ones, but I wonder what their average is? And how many older and younger than, say, 13?

After all, a 14 or 15 year old tattooed MS13 gangster or Cartel assassin is still a “child” even if we are thinking something else entirely when we are led to talk about “children”, because that is not the image being presented to us by the media.

Despite the coordinated establishment onslaught, I get the sense that trump is actually gaining ground on this issue. There’s been a lot of these buckets of cold water being tossed in the faces of dipshit cable cuties like this dolt. Gail king got a similar face planting from a border agent live on her morning show. I really like Tucker Carlson’s tact of pounding the subject of those favoring 3rd term abortions for sex selection like killery and pilosi now suddenly sooo concerned about kids precious lives. Even laura bush is getting whacked for her idiotic statement comparing this to Japanese internment camps. Can’t she just silently tend her asshole old man so no one challenges her about albright’s statement that killing 500,000 Iraqi children under 5 was “worth it” while in the bush administration? K Nielson’s press conference yesterday was masterful. She swatted away the trick questions with ease. I don’t sense a losing position for trump here.

If the Orange Crusader stays the course and doesn’t cave I think he racks up a big W on this. Not that I really give a shit but the reaction of his prospering politically from the failure of this stunt will provide days of delightful hate-watching of maher, meathead, mika and all the other dummo shitheads.

Looks like Trump is caving on this. Goddamn it. He should keep all of the kids in custody until he gets full Wall funding.

This is a great victory of the MSM over Trump.

They force him to issue an executive order defying the enforcement of law without Congress having to do anything to address it at all.

Expect this to invigorate the left and more and more and more similar efforts and resulting victories to come in the future, they have finally found a formula that works and will push it to the extreme now.

The shame is entirely Baldwin’s. What a horrifing unAmerican attempt at smearing. The Fake News Network continues hard at work tearing down America. Good job Hussein Obola!
