Getting the truth out
As Agents are forced to read policy that they won't take pictures of illegal aliens and now we are hearing that some member of management telling his Agents not to speak to the press, we have to ask — WHY? What are they afraid of?
Are they afraid that their archaic enforcement operations have failed, that their story of "Secured Border" was a lie, that they wasted millions of dollars on programs and technology that didn't work, and that they are more interested in preserving their title and position than they are protecting the American Public would get out.
The Border Patrol is not equipped to handle long term housing of any person, much less juveniles and the Immigration policies of this country have failed and we are forced not to do our job by political appointees.
Why wouldn't any high ranking Border Patrol manager just come out and say it? Is really that hard? If you just came out and said it you wouldn't have to worry about Agents taking pictures or talking to the press.
If you won't… we will! We will continue to press our issues every time, will continue to expose the lies DHS has forced upon the American people, will continue to highlight the failures of ICE not doing their job!

ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer is asking the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a health alert to medical professionals in New York and around the country for identifying, treating and containing the chikungunya, or "chik-v," virus, a mosquito-borne illness that causes fevers, joint and muscle pain, headaches, joint swelling and rashes.
One of the mosquito species carrying the virus and responsible for disease transmission is prevalent in Brazil.
Schumer says there have been three confirmed cases in New York and 25 in Florida, and numbers could increase dramatically with the return of soccer fans from the World Cup.
So far, all of the infected Americans have contracted the virus in parts of the world where it is common.
Prior outbreaks have occurred in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Late last year, the virus was found for the first time on the Caribbean islands, where more than 100,000 people have been sickened.
"This is not a fatal infection; it's just a miserable infection," Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of Vanderbilt University's Department of Preventive Medicine, told CBS 2 earlier this month.
Schumer is also calling on U.S. Department of Homeland Security to increase border safeguards, citing the developing threat in the Caribbean, where more than 100,000 people have been affected.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A Mesa man and his son each have been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for operating a multi-state drug trafficking organization.
Federal prosecutors say 47-year-old Hector Raul Ortiz-Tarazon Sr. and 24-year-old Hector Francisco Ortiz Jr. were among 12 people indicted in the case.
The father and son were accused of running an organization that shipped marijuana to the Midwest and East Coast.
Authorities say the organization trafficked more than 1,300 pounds of marijuana and generating more than $1 million in cash and money orders.
Federal agents seized about $400,000 in assets including cash, eight vehicles, 39 firearms and numerous rounds of ammunition.
