Rodney Scott was the chief of the Border Patrol for decades until Biden ousted him last spring. Scott chose to retire as a result.
He recently sat for an interview with Bret Baier of FOX News, and made some ominous claims about what’s happening at the border.
The interview isn’t going to air for a few more days, but Yael Hanlon of FOX News has a preview:
Ousted Biden Border Patrol chief says terrorists attempting to enter US through borderRodney Scott, who retired in June after 30 years in Border Patrol when the Biden administration forced him out, sat down with “Special Report” host Bret Baier for a two-part interview that will air on Tuesday, October 6th and Wednesday, October 7th on the Fox News Channel.”We have terrorist threats we can’t get into in this type of a forum but they are real,” Scott said in a preview released on “Special Report” Monday.”They exist, and they want to come across that border. Statistically, it always includes rapists, murderers, potential terrorists every single year if you look at CBP’s statistics publicly available. Those all exist in who we actually catch,” he added. “To think there is not just as bad or worse people in those getting away would be naive.”
He also claims almost half a million “gotaways” have vanished into the country.
Watch:
Scott also claims that the Biden administration has paid millions to contractors to not build the wall.
That last claim is was mentioned in a July report from Jake Dima at the Washington Examiner:
Biden administration spent $2 billion ‘not to build’ border wall, Republicans sayPresident Joe Biden’s administration has spent roughly $2 billion to pay for military contractors tasked with guarding unused materials after the Democrat put a pause on construction of the border wall.Biden’s cohort shelled out roughly $3 million per day to “guard steel, concrete, and other materials in the desert,” according to a report from the Senate’s Subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management, of which Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford is the chairman. The $2 billion figure is roughly 20% of the $10 billion transferred to the Department of Defense by former President Donald Trump to build the border wall, a process that was halted by Biden on his first day in office.”For years I have called out federal waste, but the Biden Administration is literally ‘going for broke’ with this nonsense. Our border patrol agents are doing their best to secure our border, but they need additional barriers, roads, and technology to help keep us safe. Instead, President Biden is paying professional construction contractors to babysit metal to the tune of $2 billion and counting, while at the same time we’ve seen a 20-year high number of migrants crossing our open border,” Lankford said in a statement, adding that Biden is paying “not to build the border wall.”
Over the last four years, Democrats adopted a mindset that anything Trump was for, they absolutely must be against, even if it’s something that’s good for the country.
We joke about Trump Derangement Syndrome, but this is an example of how it is affecting real-world policy decisions.
