An American disgrace.

As if it was not disgraceful enough that the current administration in the White House has adopted a policy of cruelty toward LEGAL asylum seekers, the department of Homeland Security has opened an investigation into a private Facebook page for Customs and Border Protection agents who use the social media platform to spew hatred and post despicable memes.

That's right! The people who are at the border being detained are LEGAL asylum seekers according to the current laws. If you present yourself at a point of entry of the United States, you are LEGALLY claiming asylum. FULL STOP!!!!

If migrant groups of 30,000 people marched through Mexico and presented themselves at the border for LEGAL asylum, according to the law, you do not detain them for more than 72 hours! Now, just because someone claims asylum, does not mean the United States has to grant them asylum, but you do have to give them a hearing (according to current law).

Instead of following the law, 45's administration is slow-walking these asylum seekers, and making sure than they stay on the Mexican side in tent cities. Cruel enough, right? WRONG. The very small number of people each day they are letting cross the border, are being detained. In addition to that, they are being separated from their families to deter future asylum seekers from coming to the United States.

It is disgusting how the administration is handling the crisis at the border, but now he have confirmation of something that I have known for a long time, and that is that a large number of CBP agents are in fact cowboys who hate immigrants. Nearly half of CBP agents in this country belong to this private Facebook group "I'm 10-15", who joked about the sexual assault of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and about the deaths of migrant children at the border, because little children dying is apparently funny to some of these so-called Border Protection agents.

With Congress members present at some of these border facilities, the CBP agents, a large-majority of them men, were less than respectful to the women detainees, and I am being kind in the way I said that, so imagine what they are like when Congressional leaders are not around.

Today is July 1, and as of tonight, the heads of CPB should be fired, and any agent found to be a member of this despicable group on Facebook and has posted any disparaging and hateful remarks should be fired tomorrow. You have freedom of speech in this country and I am using it now, but working at CBP is not a right. If you can be fired from the private sector for posting hateful garbage on your social media, than you definitely should be fired from a government job. It's okay, the cowboys can go bag to the piggly wiggly where they clearly belong working for minimum wage.
