Border Patrol says morale is 'in the toilet' with just 12 guards protecting a 245-mile stretch of border in the Rio Grande during a historic influx in migrants
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Only a dozen agents out of 19,000 CBP workers are patrolling the area in Texas
- Texas and New Mexico see 60 percent of all illegal crossings into the US
- An official with a Border Patrol union said agents are frustrated and burned out
- One anonymous agent described clearly being able to see migrants crossing the Rio Grande River but not having the manpower to do anything about it
- Under the Biden administration many agents have been sidelined to processing and transporting migrants rather than actively patrolling the border
- There were more than 212,000 migrant encounters in July, a 21-year high
- More than 10,000 CBP employees have tested positive for COVID since the pandemic began.
