Obama Border Patrol chief to Trump: 'Stay the course' on the border wall

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Trump has taken federal workers hostage. We don't negotiate with hostage takers. We should wait for a legitimate president before any funding goes to a 'wall'. Trumps main campaign promise, Mexico was going to pay, was all a lie that his ignorent, undereducated base bought into.

I wonder how much $$$$ he stands to gain?

Build tha dang wall, already

He supports it yet only 49% of Arizonans support a physical wall on their long border and they have to help pay for it as well as also dealdirectly with immigrants. So, believe him or our fellow citizens?

This coming from the guys who know best. Let’s end the Dems shut down. Build the wall at any cost.

If Border Patrol Chief thinks a wall along the entire Mexican border is necessary, doable and a cost-effective deterrent to border penetration, he should be relieved of duty and made to ride a horse along the entire border. His eyes and butt would soon tell him this is nuts.

Finally somebody that understands border security and the benefit of the wall

Ass-kisser.

Trump closed the government only Trump can open the government he should have never closed the. government the Struggle is real totally wrong.

Obama’s mistake was being bipartisan hiring Republicans who are extremely partisan.

How long would he last if he opposed the Mother**cker

Another desperate seeker of publicity and high office in the waning days of his ho-hum career

Was he stomping his feet and whining when he said it.

It took a while, but he finally fell for Trump's con.

I hereby revoke his pay and we listen for him to decide for 800,000 other people whose voice they didn’t hear. Shame on you for that comment.

I expect nothing less from a racist Nazi in uniform.

Real America has his back. Election 2016 is a voter mandate to build the long promised wall

Where do these people come from, no common sense, completely uninformed.

Those human rights advocates...Wonder if they cared about the Mariel boat lift criminally insane that Castro shipped over...

MSM is Dem mind control network. The people have spoken & a mandate is put forth. Before DJT all of the 2 faced dems said border security was lacking...now they backside because it's popular among libs to deride our PRESIDENT.

It took him being fired to speak up in favor of Trump's ideas because he's figured out that Trump wants 'yes men' and he thinks ads kissing will secure him another position. Just watch....

Morgran was dumped by Trump Administration because he didn't share Trump's passion against all brown people crossing the border. Now he shares Trump passion. Hmmm. somebody wants a job with this vile administration.

Thank you Morgan for standing for the truth

SOMEBODY WANTS THEIR JOB BACK

Wait, the wall is common sense but aren’t you supposed to always oppose Trump no matter what?

ThisBigRichard Shock horror: Man who works on border agrees with President Trump.

Tucker had this two nights ago

Even with a wall they can still seek asylum protections. Our asylum review system is over whelmed with cases taking years. Then the asylum seekers are let in and lost. It’s a system issue. A physical barrier will not reduce the number of asylum seekers.

What's Putin got on him?

Looking for his job back, is he?

A disgruntle troll trying to get his frustration and mysery out

Obviously you people don’t understand a wall lessons the number of Border Patrol officers need for protecting open spaces so they can be assigned to other things like tunnels, processing or protecting other vulnerable areas

Can we use this money?

Listen to the 'boots' on the ground, not so-called 'experts' living in the cities.

Because the experts on the job know more than the idiot democrats who think they know everything.

How much ya reckon that cost the orange man?

Also from WaPo - Point/Counterpoint: Irrelevant man vs relevant union.

'Morgan’s comments, which have been widely disseminated by right-leaning media,' I like how this is part of their reporting. 'We're just now being forced to report this because it's actually important.'

Looking for a job as chief border toadie? Yuck.

🍄😮 He must really like Mushrooms.

He brought it back

TheRealWiseOne So many people don’t read the articles haha 👍 to Mark Morgan

Sure, as soon as Mexico sends the funds for the wall, like realDonaldTrump promised, construction can begin.

Shocking that someone who stands to receive more money will be for this...

6 months? Really? Expert you impy? Nope. He will have to do something abt his noggin to get on AgentOrange's team. Doesn't look enuff like Trumpinsky's other coneheads. piersmorgan needs to wash his nose.

Blasphemy.😂😂

Wow WAPO - Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile !

Like I care what he thinks...

'Morgan said Trump may have called for a wall along the entire border, but no one actually believes it’s needed for the entire 2,000 miles. But there are areas that remain porous, he said, that encourage illegal immigration rather than coming through legal ports of entry.'

Somebody's angling for a new job.

“Obama” birder chief? He’s not an Obama chief. He is a CBP officer

what else should he say? He would lose his job if he told the truth

Let's not pay this guy for a while.

Another p*ssy-boy afraid of Trump's faux macho.

Its funny how ALOT of BarackObama 's old workforce are coming out in support of trump lately! Isnt it! the switch is flipping 😉

Useless and spineless.

I had to check three times to make sure it was really a WaPo story and not just someone spoofing you. Kudos.

The KKK Border Patrol.. Racist Patrol.. id say.

Mark Morgran is a corrupt individual - sooner or later this will come out

Now how do the libtards know more about border security than this guy?

I hope this clown NEVER gets paid.

Bingo !

What does he know, not as if he is border chief or........ohhh

Wow. I love this. A man of integrity on the left is very rare indeed.

Excellent headline and article Washington Post, continue to support the president's agenda, even if it's unintentional 😆👍

Do it NOW realDonaldTrump

Anybody want to toss the Cheeto salad? He obviously does. Get in line buddy behind LindseyGrahamSC

I guess he's still getting paid.

of course! makes his job a lot easier....

Obama border patrol chief begs Donald Trump to “stay the course” on border wall“I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country,” Mark Morgan said. LOL. You are who you run with. If there presently is no wall that works, hence the need for a new wall, how does this previous “patrol chief” say that the existing wall did work? Donald ? Build!

The Latest: Trump arrives at Texas border townWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and the partial government shutdown (all times local): 1:40 p.m. President Donald Trump arrived at a Texas border town to make the case for his long-promised border wall after negotiations with Democrats blew up over his funding demands. Trump traveled to McAllen, Texas Thursday on the 20th day of a partial government shutdown. He is seeking to use the trip to bolster his argument that a wall is needed on security and humanitarian grounds. Trump is to visit a border patrol station and receive a briefing on border security. The president and congressional Democrats remain at an impasse over his demand for $5.7 billion for a wall along the southern border. Critics say Trump overstates the security risks and that the administration is at least partly to blame for the humanitarian situation. Just go Dickfist Trump. Please take a permanent vacation in the Alps. America does not like you or need you. Get lost. Except that's fine because all he'd be doing there is the same thing be does here. Lying, pouting, sucking up to dictators, watching TV, and rage tweeting. He can stay his ass home. Too cold out. He's headed to Mar-a-Lago, where the sun is always bright. And his staff is 'happy' to see him.
