Letter: Obama administration not protecting our borders

To the editor: Just today, a retiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent leaked to Fox and other news agencies that all the “new” ICE and Border Patrol agents we are supposed to have enforcing immigration laws have been reassigned away from the border by the administration flunkies at Homeland Security! These agents in many cases work only four hours a day with zero border enforcement duties. Disease carriers, gang members, drug dealers, terrorists and criminals are flooding our southern borders, and the administration refuses to act. A report from ICE shows juvenile criminals are just set free on orders of the administration. Depending on which agency you believe, only 20 percent to a maximum of 60 percent of those crossing the border are children. Why are more “news” outlets not reporting on this? Bruce Watters, Bowler
