Ortiz \u200brevealed that throughout his time in the position, neither Biden\u200d nor Harris \u2063ever met\u200d with him.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz&#8217;s criticism comes at a time when the Biden administration is facing a significant\u2063 increase \u2064in illegal immigration. Approximately\u200d 8 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S.\u200b under Biden&#8217;s\u2064 watch, surpassing \u200dthe population of many \u2063states.<\/p>\n<p>During \u2062the\u200d interview, Ortiz highlighted the issue of decision-making \u200cbased on politics and \u2062media coverage. He questioned why resources were concentrated in certain areas \u200cwhile neglecting others. &#8220;What about the other \u200d200 miles?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>As the\u200c former chief of the border patrol, Ortiz commanded a team of 21,000 \u2064people. \u2062However, he never had a single conversation with\u200b the \u2062president or vice president. He emphasized that this lack of communication was a problem.<\/p>\n<p>When confronted with the reporter&#8217;s observation \u200bof numerous\u200b illegal aliens entering the country, Ortiz stressed \u200dthe importance of\u2063 sending a clear message to \u200dCentral\u200c America, South\u200c America, and Mexico. He emphasized \u2063that those who\u2062 pay smugglers and cross \u200dbetween\u200d ports of\u200c entry without a legitimate claim\u200b to \u200basylum should \u2064be sent back.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>When asked about the White House&#8217;s messaging to migrants, \u2064Ortiz agreed\u200c that \u200cmixed \u2064messages were\u2064 being sent.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the interview:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never had one conversation \u200bwith the president \u200bor the vice president for that matter\u2026 That&#8217;s a \u200cproblem,\u201d says Raul Ortiz, the U.S. Border Patrol chief under President Biden\u2062 until \u2064he retired\u2064 last \u2063year. \u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bWoZkFbnVc\">pic.twitter.com\/bWoZkFbnVc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/60Minutes\/status\/1764444286282506397?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 4, \u20622024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2064 insights and expertise could former \u200bU.S. \u200bBorder\u2064 Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz have provided to the \u2062administration in understanding and resolving the root causes of the border \u2064issue?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063In\u2062 unauthorized border crossings\u2064. As Border Patrol Chief, Ortiz had firsthand knowledge and experience dealing with\u200d the challenges and\u200d complexities of border security. His role \u2064was crucial in maintaining the integrity of U.S. \u2064borders \u200dand ensuring the safety of\u2062 both citizens \u2064and immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062lack of communication and engagement\u2062 from the President and Vice President raises concerns\u200d about their commitment to addressing the border crisis. It is essential for leaders to be actively involved and \u200bseek advice from experts in the field when making decisions that impact national security and immigration policies. By \u200bfailing to meet with \u200bOrtiz, Biden\u200c and Harris demonstrate a lack\u2063 of understanding and engagement with\u2062 the realities of border enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the absence of communication also hinders the effectiveness of \u200dimplementing strategic solutions to the border crisis. Ortiz&#8217;s expertise \u200band \u200cinsights could have provided valuable guidance to \u2062the \u200cadministration in understanding the \u200droot causes of the issue and developing \u200bcomprehensive strategies to address it. Without the input of individuals like Ortiz,\u200c the administration risks making uninformed decisions that may further exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of communication from the President and Vice President also\u2062 sends a\u2062 message to the dedicated men and women of the Border Patrol who work tirelessly to secure the\u200c borders. Ortiz&#8217;s statement highlights\u200d the \u200bdisregard shown towards the individuals who risk their lives daily\u2062 to protect the nation. It is disheartening for those on the\u200d frontlines to see their efforts undervalued and their\u200b expertise ignored \u2062by the very people who should be leading the charge in ensuring\u200b a safe and secure border.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, previous administrations\u200c have recognized the importance of communication and collaboration with \u2062border enforcement \u2064officials. They understood the value of\u200b seeking guidance from those with direct experience \u200bin the field. By engaging with individuals like Ortiz, past administrations were able to develop effective strategies that balanced border \u200dsecurity with humanitarian \u200cconcerns.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for the Biden administration to rectify this lack of communication and engage with border\u2062 security experts like Raul Ortiz. They must acknowledge the expertise and insights that individuals in key positions possess. By actively seeking their advice\u200d and expertise, the administration can \u200dwork towards developing effective solutions to the border\u200d crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the lack of communication from President Biden and Vice \u200dPresident Harris \u200dwith former U.S. Border\u200d Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz represents a missed opportunity to address the border \u2062crisis effectively. By disregarding the insights and expertise of experienced professionals, the administration risks making ill-informed decisions that may negatively impact both national security and humanitarian \u2063concerns. It is essential for the administration\u200d to rectify this oversight and actively engage with experts \u200cin the field to \u2063develop and implement comprehensive strategies\u200b that address the challenges \u200bat the U.S. border.
