I promise you, those people will pay,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ABC\/status\/1441407510204780545?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone, California\u200c Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/slavery-horrific-maxine-waters-thinks-border-patrol-whipping-accusation-much-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maxine Waters<\/a> said the incident was\u200d \u201cworse than what we witnessed in slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas also\u200d got the memo after initially backing the Border Patrol agents. \u201cAny mistreatment or abuse of a migrant is unacceptable,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/09\/21\/politics\/alejandro-mayorkas-del-rio-border-cnntv\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe pictures that I observed troubled me profoundly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Making sure to\u200d check every box, he later added, \u201cWe know that those images\u2064 painfully conjured up \u2063the worst elements of our nation\u2019s ongoing battle against systemic racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Of course, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sharon-osbourne-out-from-talk-show-after-defending-piers-morgan-receiving-potentially-8-figure-payout\/\" title=\"Sharon Osbourne Out From Talk Show After Defending Piers Morgan, Receiving Potentially 8-Figure Payout\">internal investigation found<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-videos-not-show-border-agents-using-whips-round-illegal-immigrants-southern-border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no evidence<\/a> of whipping. In actuality, the agents were utilizing split reins \u2014 a standard tool used by \u200bmounted personnel to guide the horse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However,\u2063 despite the accusations against them having been debunked, the \u200cagents \u2062were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/report-biden-admin-set-discipline-border-patrol-agents-falsely-accused-whipping-illegal-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disciplined<\/a> for undefined \u201cadministrative violations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To\u200b add insult\u2062 to injury, Mayorkas did not apologize \u200dwhen he met with them on \u2063Wednesday, according \u2064to Fox sources.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Mayorkas reportedly\u200c spoke with the agents in a \u201cprofessional\u200c and respectful tone,\u201d allowing them to \u2064share\u200c \u201chow the incident affected their lives and careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Mayorkas would make a good head of human resources, but the Border Patrol agents whose lives he \u2063and his boss destroyed with their lies deserved more than a chance to vent.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Tensions<\/a> have persisted between Border Patrol and the Biden administration amid\u2062 the growing illegal migrant surge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There were nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2.5 million<\/a> illegal migrant encounters at the \u200csouthern border in\u2062 fiscal\u2064 year 2023. Those staggering numbers without any solutions from the administration are understandably eroding morale among Border Patrol agents.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, they have been demonized and used as\u2064 political tools to rile up the Biden administration\u2019s base.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever feel like you have a thankless \u2062job, just be grateful you\u2019re not one of Biden\u2019s\u200b Border Patrol agents.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mayorkas-met-border-patrol-agents-biden-slandered-big-problem-report\/\">Mayorkas Met\u2062 with Border Patrol Agents Biden Slandered, And There Was a Big Problem: Report<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why is it important for Mayorkas to apologize to the\u200c Border Patrol agents?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  On their horses, a common practice in horsemanship. The reins were not\u2064 used to whip or strike anyone, \u200cas the false accusations suggested.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the facts finally established, Mayorkas had\u200b the opportunity to rectify his previous statements and\u200d apologize\u200b to the Border Patrol agents he had maligned. However, according to the Fox News report, no apology was offered during the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of accountability is deeply troubling. As the\u2062 head\u200c of the Department of Homeland Security, Mayorkas \u2064has \u200da responsibility to lead with integrity and ensure the truth is\u200d upheld. By refusing to\u200d apologize, he sends a message that\u200d it\u2063 is\u200d acceptable to falsely \u2063accuse and defame individuals without \u200dconsequence.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, Mayorkas&#8217; initial comments, along with those of President\u200b Biden and Rep. Maxine Waters, paint a damaging picture of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-talks-global-inequality-in-france-as-u-s-border-crumbles\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris talks global inequality in France as U.S. border crumbles\">border security agents<\/a>. \u200cThese men \u2063and women dedicate their\u2064 lives to protecting our borders\u2064 and enforcing \u200bour immigration laws. \u200dTo label \u200btheir\u200d actions as\u200c mistreatment or abuse \u200cwithout evidence \u2063is not \u2062only unfair but also undermines their important work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The incident in Del Rio highlighted the ongoing \u2063challenges\u200d our nation faces in securing its borders and managing immigration. It is \u200bcrucial for our leaders\u200d to approach these issues with nuance, fact-checking, \u200dand \u2063a commitment to the\u200b truth.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the handling of\u200b this incident by Mayorkas and others in the Democratic Party \u2063demonstrates a disregard for these principles. Instead \u2064of waiting for all the information to surface, they jumped\u2064 to conclusions and \u200brushed to condemn our Border\u200c Patrol agents.
