A frustrated Border Patrol agent said the Harris-Biden administration has turned his job into a migrant concierge service — and he fears that the crisis at the besieged southern border is only going to get worse.
Zachary Apotheker, who has been a Border Patrol agent since 2020, told The Post that he misses what his job used to be — busting big drug loads, apprehending illegal crossers and protecting Americans.
“I don’t want to bring people into the country. That’s not what I signed up to do,” Apotheker, 31, said.
The agent, who has worked at both the southern and northern borders of the US, confessed that he has witnessed the mass catch-and-release of illegal migrants he says have been improperly vetted under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Since January 2021, more than 8 million migrants have crossed the southern border — including killers, rapists, terrorists and gang members, such as those from the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.
More than 1.7 million “gotaways” have also illegally snuck over the southern border without being apprehended during the Biden administration, according to Border Patrol data.
Apotheker said the names of victims of violent migrant crime — including Kayla Hamilton, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray — now “haunt” him.
“I’m an apolitical person and I just want to do my job and protect this country,” the agent said.
“When I see people from another country coming here, getting resources beyond what the American citizen can get, that’s where I have to draw the line. And then they’re going out and committing crimes and we’re still not removing them and American citizens are being killed, women are being raped.” --->READ MORE HERE
A veteran border patrol agent is lambasting the Biden-Harris administration for drastically changing his job from busting major drug dealers, catching illegal aliens, and protecting Americans to what he ruefully calls a being a "migrant concierge service."
“I don’t want to bring people into the country. That’s not what I signed up to do,” said 31-year-old Zachary Apotheker, a four-year veteran of the Border Patrol.
“I’m an apolitical person and I just want to do my job and protect this country,” the agent said, the New York Post. reported. “When I see people from another country coming here, getting resources beyond what the American citizen can get, that’s where I have to draw the line. And then they’re going out and committing crimes and we’re still not removing them and American citizens are being killed, women are being raped.”
“However bad you think it is now, it’s only going to be worse,” he warned.
Apotheker also raised the issue of illegal immigrant children. He says the Border Patrol is not collecting biometric information for children under the age of 14.
“We don’t have any data on them and we’re not checking the addresses that we’re sending these children with these people to. And we’re not connecting these families. We have no actual proof other than the documents,” he said.
Most of these children are not reunited with their families. They are given to "sponsors" who may or may not be legitimate. The ORR (Office of Refugee Resettlement) delivers a child to a sponsor even though some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations," according to HHS whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas. Vetting is entirely inadequate. --->READ MORE HERE
