President Obama has sent out a subtle message to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to stand down and slack off the enforcement, former border agents told the National Review Online.
Some agents say the White House has purposely failed to order them to take care of the influx of illegals across the border, said Ronald Colburn, the former national deputy chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, National Review Online reported. And that neglect has led to the scores of illegal minor-age immigrants coming up from Central America, Mr. Colburn said.
“They’re sitting still at their desks, reading newspapers, playing video games on their government computers, because they’re not being tasked with work, and they feel like it’s coming all the way down from the top,” Mr. Colburn told National Review Online. “These are guys that do want to go out more, but basically they’re not.”
Mr. Colburn said some ICE agents actually head to the gym each day for four-hour workouts, just to keep busy on the job.
