Border Advisor

Calling the wall along US/Mexico border the Trump Wall is like calling the Great Wall of China the Qin Shi Huang Wall. Contrary to popular belief and political claims, Mongolia never paid for it.

@LMplusG @chicagofire4321 @RepBarbaraLee It’s actually 57 for FBI Agents, Secret Service, and Border Patrol. It’s only 56 for Air Traffic Controlers, but commercial pilots have a max age of 65.

California lost a trailblazer and a giant today. Senator Feinstein broke glass ceilings for women in politics and fought fearlessly for safer communities free of gun violence. My deepest condolences go out to her family and loved ones.

@CBP Did you know CBP allows travelers one article of each type of counterfeit merchandise when arriving in the United States? So, one purse, one watch, etc. It’s called the personal use exemption. Even crew members are allowed a counterfeit for personal use. cbp.gov/sites/default/…

#DYK? In addition to harming legitimate businesses, counterfeit goods can be harmful to your health and safety. Shop smart this holiday season to keep yourself, and your family, safe. Learn more: go.usa.gov/x77Xy

@CBPMarkMorgan @CBP As the US unemployment rate rises, apprehensions at the border have a tendency to drop. This decrease is more likely a lack of available jobs. With fewer people crossing for work, fewer family members are seeking to follow.

.@CBP encountered approx. 458,000 illegal border crossers in FY20, down 53% from FY19's total of about 977,000. This decrease is because of the network of initiatives & policies implemented by this Administration, which effectively ended catch & release. bit.ly/31a5COO

@CBP Dear Americans, these restrictions also apply to your travel to Canada and Mexico. It’s a reciprocal ban on non-essential travel.

TRAVEL ALERT: The temporary restriction on non-essential travel at US land border ports of entry remains in effect. Essential travel and trade continue unimpeded. Essential travel includes, but is not limited to:

@USBPChief The existing design lacks anti-climb and anti-cut features. Migrants can climb over the current new wall and cut through slats with reciprocating saws. In fact, CBP asked for help from contractors to improve the wall's design along the southwest border. govtribe.com/opportunity/fe…

Border Wall System Update: 216 miles completed 339 miles under construction 183 miles under pre-construction To see the latest on the Border Wall System go to: cbp.gov/borderwallsyst…

@CBPMarkMorgan @realDonaldTrump GAO Report: @CBP misappropriated $112 million for "ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, boats, passenger vans, and small utility vehicles." Congress allocated emergency funding to CBP, ICE, and FEMA for migrant care, specifically "consumables and medical care." washingtonpost.com/immigration/bo…

It is absurd and dangerous to talk about defunding the police. Now is the time to do what President @realDonaldTrump's Executive Order says, which is to share best practices & invest in better training for law enforcement as they protect our communities. bit.ly/37ETya4

@markberman @NickMiroff Oleoresin capsicum pepper balls and rubber-composite coated ammunition, clearly not to be confused with tear-inducing gas or bullets cast in solid natural rubber.

honestly sometimes there’s nothing like a bluntly accurate headline washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…

DHS unlawfully appointed @HomelandKen Cuccinelli the acting head of @USCIS. With the title "senior official performing the duties of the deputy secretary for the Department of Homeland Security," he should not have set immigration policies for asylum. #5b15c13c5128" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/stuartan…

@realDonaldTrump The border did not close, @CBP always allowed US citizens and residents to return stateside (with quarantine). US carriers canceled China routes (not by presidential order). However, the repatriation of Diamond Princess passengers, against @CDCgov advice, doubled COVID-19 cases.

The Do Nothing Democrats were busy wasting time on the Immigration Hoax, & anything else they could do to make the Republican Party look bad, while I was busy calling early BORDER & FLIGHT closings, putting us way ahead in our battle with Coronavirus. Dems called it VERY wrong!

@realDonaldTrump The United States border never closed. US carriers canceled routes to China, but @CBP always allowed US citizens and residents to return stateside (with quarantine). However, the repatriation of Diamond Princess passengers, against @CDCgov advice, doubled COVID-19 cases.

So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.

@OFODEAC @CBP CBP agent and officer suicide rates are 28% higher than any other law enforcement agency. Thoughts and prayers for those struggling to do their job in this high-stress environment. Don't forget to check on your strong friend. qz.com/1738901/us-bor…

.@CBP continues to transform the international arrivals process to attract and welcome visitors to the US, while maintaining the highest standards of security. Last year, CBP officers processed 410M+ travelers at ports of entry, including 135M+ travelers at air ports of entry.

@realDonaldTrump The United States border (not boarder) never closed. US carriers canceled routes to China, but @CBP always allowed US citizens and residents to return stateside (with quarantine). The repatriation of Diamond Princess passengers, against @CDCgov advice, doubled COVID-19 cases.

Senators propose a temporary ban on facial recognition by the federal government until Congress can regulate the technology. The suggested moratorium appears to exclude warrantless search authority of @CBP at border crossings and international airports. techdirt.com/articles/20200…

.@WhiteHouse Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said the United States "needs more immigrants" and the US is "running out of people" to sustain growth. Contrary to Trump's restrictive immigration policies, Mulvaney called for an expansion of legal immigration. washingtonpost.com/politics/mulva…

@CJ39000511 @USBPChief .@CBP once called it replacement wall until the President didn’t want to hear the truth. Now it’s all called “new,” even though at least 100 miles replaced existing barriers.

Border Wall System update: ▫️ 121 miles completed ▫️ 218 miles under construction ▫️ 414 miles in pre-construction

.@DeptofDefense gives $3.8 billion to the border wall. Pentagon will cancel two F-35 fighter jets and two Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft (Marines); one P-8A (Navy); four C-130J and eight MQ-9 Reaper drones (Air Force); and updated Humvees and trucks (Army). washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

@Jai_Eugene @CBP This has nothing to do with legality. It is an issue of @CBP using the word "narcotic" to refer to any illicit drug. There are many illegal drugs, but not all are classified as narcotics (e.g., stimulants, depressants, psychotropics). Semantics.

@BorderAdvisor @CBP Until the feds make it legal, it’s illegal. Tough titty,sis.

In January, CBP seized 53,736lbs of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana, and meth—50,307lbs on the SW border alone. In the first 4 months of FY20, CBP has seized more than 309,000 pounds of drugs.

In Mexicali, Mexico, the new border wall system slows down smugglers but does not stop them. They get paid $700 for each time they cut through the wall. Coyotes collect $8,000 per person they smuggle into the United States, sometimes using a rope ladder. kyma.com/news/2020/02/0…

@RepLeeZeldin @DHS_Wolf The truth is, @DHSgov does not need access to DMV records to approve trusted traveler applicants. Databases like NLETS criminal history, @StateDept passport records (PIERS), and @USCIS Central Index System contain the information needed for @CBP Global Entry and @TSA PreCheck.

DHS needs access to certain information in order to do its job. New York needs to restore full access ASAP! It's not an option for Gov Cuomo & the NYS Legislature to continue its foolish pursuit of new laws that erode public safety. foxnews.com/politics/dhs-g…
