Recently Retired Border Patrol Chief Makes Damning Revelation About Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: He Never Once Heard from Either

We already know that leading figures in the Biden administration care nothing about border security. But every fresh piece of evidence helps further the case for their outright betrayal of the United States.

Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told correspondent Cecilia Vega that before his retirement in the spring of 2023 he never once heard from President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’ve never had one conversation with the president or the vice president, for that matter,” Ortiz recalled.

“And so, I was the chief of the Border Patrol. I commanded 21,000 people,” he said. “That’s a problem.”

Moments later, Vega followed up on Ortiz’s criticism of the Biden administration.

“Do you believe that the White House has sent mixed messages to migrants?” she asked.

“Yeah, most definitely,” he replied.

Vega’s exchange with Ortiz occurred in the middle of a longer segment on the border crisis in Texas.

Aside from allowing the former Border Patrol chief to tell the truth about Biden and Harris, Vega largely parroted establishment talking points.

Has Biden failed Americans on immigration?

For instance, in recent months Texas has clashed with the federal government over the latter’s failure to secure the border. Here, Vega tried to depict Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas as a modern-day Jefferson Davis.

“Governor Abbott argued the federal government had failed to fulfill its obligation to the states. And in that, some heard echoes of Texas’ history of rebellion and threats of secession,” she said in a voice-over.

Later, Vega revealed her true establishment colors when she took seriously one of the most atrocious pieces of legislation ever to reach the floor of the U.S. Senate.

“President Biden says that if Republicans were serious about securing the border, they would not have rejected a bipartisan immigration deal in the Senate last month after former President Trump opposed it,” she said in another voice-over.

That supposed “immigration” deal, of course, would have included more money for foreign wars. It also would have allowed 5,000 illegal crossings per day before any security provisions would have taken effect.

Former President Donald Trump did indeed denounce the deal as “horrendous.” And Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called it “even worse than we expected.”

On Feb. 7, the Senate voted 50-49 against the bill.

In sum, Vega and the people at “60 Minutes” did everything possible to sell establishment talking points. After all, CBS serves no other purpose.

The real news here, however, is twofold.

First, the fact that the CBS News program covered the border crisis in the first place tells us something significant. It means the establishment media believe they must help their powerful masters get control of the illegal immigration narrative.

Second, “60 Minutes” allowed Ortiz to report gross negligence on the part of Biden and Harris.

Have media outlets received orders to maintain talking points while at the same time carefully preparing an opening for the establishment to jettison the president and vice president?

Indeed, the fact that CBS would broadcast Ortiz’s interview came as a surprise. His report of negligence from Biden and Harris, of course, did not.

Still, in a Sunday post on the social media platform X, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who regularly covers illegal immigration, reacted with astonishment to Ortiz’s comments.

“Wow,” Melugin said.

He then recalled a number of “high profile events” that occurred during Ortiz’s tenure as Border Patrol chief.

“And the White House allegedly doesn’t speak to the Chief overseeing 20,000 agents on the front lines?” Melugin said.

It is almost as if the Biden administration wanted this invasion to happen.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
