Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who was forced out of his position by the Biden administration earlier this year, issued a stark warning during an interview that aired on Wednesday evening, saying that the greatest threat that the U.S. is facing is the current administration withholding information from the American public.
Scott told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that the Border Patrol has made significant progress over the last couple of decades to shore up border security and that the Biden administration has effectively thrown all of that progress out of the window and completely opened the border.
“It was getting significantly better than ever before and it allowed us to make calculated risk decisions on behalf of Americans,” Scott said. “We knew who the organizations were bringing them, and we had a higher confidence level of what type of a risk would they be if they crossed in this area where they’re trying to evade arrest, higher probability that they’re actually criminal aliens or their narcotics smugglers. We were investing in technology systems that use artificial intelligence to help us with that as well.”
“All that has been shut down,” Scott continued. And all effort has been refocused on expediting the processing speed of the massive amounts of illegal aliens that are coming into the country today. That should matter because if I can’t tell you who crosses through a Nogales, or a McAllen or a San Diego, they are going to end up in your community.”
