Brandon Judd appeared with former President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday in Eagle Pass, Texas, where the likely Republican presidential nominee sought to contrast his immigration policies with those of current President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, knowingly or otherwise helped Trump do just that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir, I want you to know: Your agents, my agents, they\u2019re mad as hell, absolutely mad that President Biden went to Brownsville, Texas, rather than going to Arizona, rather than going to San Diego, California, rather than coming to Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been the epicenter,\u201d he said during his brief remarks at the podium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat President Trump has seen right here is, he\u2019s seen how his policies have worked. But he\u2019s also seen how he can expand upon those policies once he takes \u2014 goes back into the White House. He has seen how Gov. Abbott has been able to use [Trump\u2019s] policies to secure this specific area, the epicenter over the last two years of the illegal border crisis that we have had to endure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judd explained that the agents his union represents have become increasingly frustrated at the polices of the Biden administration that encourage immigrants<\/a> to enter the country by whatever means possible, legal or otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd your agents, president, they are p***ed. Border patrol agents are upset that we cannot get the proper policy that is necessary to protect human life, to protect American citizens, to protect the people that are crossing the border illegally \u2014 we want to protect them as well,\u201d Judd said. \u201cAnd we can\u2019t do that because President Biden\u2019s policies continue to invite people across here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judd then expressed gratitude for Abbott and Trump and their willingness to engage in government service for the benefit of the American people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank goodness we have a governor like Gov. Abbott,\u201d he said. \u201cThank goodness we have somebody that\u2019s willing to run for president of the United States, forgo everything else that he\u2019s been doing, to serve the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour agents, my agents, they\u2019re mad as hell \u2026 that President Biden went to Brownsville, Texas, rather than going to Arizona \u2026 San Diego \u2026 Eagle Pass.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/08crRwv070<\/a><\/p>\n

Biden and Trump both visited the southern border Thursday, as Judd said, but the location each chose to visit looked very different when it comes to illegal immigration.<\/p>\n
Brownsville, Texas, where Biden visited (something some residents weren\u2019t thrilled about<\/a>), only sees in one week the number of illegals encountered by Border Patrol<\/a> agents in the Eagle Pass area in one day \u2014 if they even see that many.<\/p>\n

In fact, in another Fox<\/a> report on the two presidential visits, the outlet described illegal immigrant activity in Brownsville as \u201cnearly nonexistent,\u201d with only 12 apprehensions recorded on Monday.<\/p>\n
By contrast, Eagle Pass<\/a> may have the most apprehensions of any border location, reporting 511 apprehensions on Monday, or more than 42 times the activity of Brownsville.<\/p>\n\n
