Border Patrol Agent describes what violence at the border looks like

They throw rocks at agents and they’re sure as hell not harmless. And, our agents aren’t allowed to fight back. I’d love to see them at least be able to use rubber bullets to put the scum who throw rocks at them down.

CHANGE: Border Patrol Is About To Be Given The Authority It Needs To Handle The Border Crisis.

There are reports that Border Patrol will soon be given on-the-spot authority to decide asylum claims:

The Department of Homeland Security is racing to implement a plan that would give federal law enforcement on the border the authority to conduct interviews with asylum seekers who fear returning to their home countries, according to two sources with first-hand knowledge of the plan.

Under the pending procedural change, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers would train Border Patrol agents on the southern border how to conduct "credible fear interviews," which immigrants must pass to go on to claim asylum. Agents would conduct the interviews shortly after apprehending people who have illegally crossed from Mexico to the U.S

The Trump administration is pushing to start agent training “ASAP,” according to one official.

The proposal has some downsides. For instance, there likely would be fewer Border Patrol agents performing law enforcement duties while undergoing training. But that would be offset by an overall decline of undocumented immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S​

DHS is not planning to get congressional approval before implementing the change. Department officials believe they are within the law because an asylum officer must be an immigration official, which Border Patrol agents are considered to be. As long as agents get training on how to carry out those interviews and make those decisions, the department believes the plan is sound, a second official, who spoke on background in order to speak freely, explained.​

It is only going to get worse as the numbers continue to swell and all border security and services are overwhelmed and exhausted. Anyone still think this is a "manufactured crisis"? Obama what say you?
