The morale of the Border Patrol is at an all-time low. That’s according to National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) President Brandon Judd who directly blamed Joe Biden in a recent radio interview.

When asked if Border Patrol morale was lower than during the Obama administration, Judd said nothing even comes close to how agents are feeling right now. He also called out the Biden administration for it’s treatment of the Border Patrol agents pictured apprehending Haitian migrants on horseback in Rio Grande, Texas last month.

“I’ve never seen the morale any lower than it is right now when you have a president who is wiling to throw his employees under the bus for doing what he ordered them to do,” Judd stated.” But he had to do that to deflect from his failures on what’s taking place on the border right now. He’s completely failed the American public and because of it he’s had to find a scapegoat.”

Judd said the most powerful people in the country have already condemned those border agents without the benefit of having the facts of an investigation come out.
