Subject: DHS Orders Border Control, Retreat From Illegal Throwing Rocks and Drug Smugglers Vehicles

 

One of our responsibilities is to provide facts on issues that may

negatively affect the safety of the Republic, in order that American

Citizens will be provided with the truth on issues that the Obama

administration and the left of center liberal media establishment, works at

covering up many of those facts daily.  The below listed published article

provides complete details on our summary of the new Rules Of Engagement

issued to the US Border Patrol.

 

On the first day of his appointment, new Rules of Engagement were issued to

the Border Patrol by Obama's newly appointed Secretary of Homeland Security,

Jeh Johnson, who has no Law Enforcement experience and is the first African

American to head DHS.   The new Rules Of Engagement, bars self-defense from

rock-throwers, and match the recommendation of a report by an Illegal

Immigration advocacy groups and the Mexican government. They want to reduce

policing of illegal immigrants trying to illegally enter the United States

at the Mexican border.  Obama agrees with the new Rules Of Engagement and

desires for more lenient policing of illegal Immigrants violating Federal

Law at the US/Mexican border. The report by the

<http://www.policeforum.org/> Police Executive Research Forum was

commissioned by DHS, it encourages lawlessness at the border by Illegal

aliens, puts Border Patrolmen in much more danger, bars Border Patrolmen

from standing in front of smugglers' vehicles to prevent smugglers from

entering the United States, and prevents Border Patrolmen from shooting at

people who are attacking them with large rocks (those rock assaults have put

Border Patrolmen in the hospital with critical head injuries).  Three U.S.

Border Patrolmen were killed in recent years, including one who was shot

during a clash with drug smugglers carrying AK-47 assault weapons provided

to them by agents of the Obama administration's Fast and Furious illegal

drug running operation (the illegal Fast and Furious gun smuggling operation

continues to be covered up by Holder). The Border Patrol has been attacked

6,000 times since 2007, and they have been "assaulted with very large rocks"

1,713 times since 2010, resulting in the serious injury of Border Patrolmen.

Despite the 7,713 attacks on Border Patrolmen, they have only responded with

deadly force only 43 times----or 0.00056% of the time they were dangerously

attacked.

 

Instead of tighten up policing rules to protect the lives of Border

Patrolmen, Obama's newly appointed Secretary of Homeland Security is doing

exactly the opposite, he is putting them in more danger and telling them to

run away, and seek shelter from attack,  if they are attacked by Illegal

Immigrants.  According to

<http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/27/nation/la-na-border-killings-201402

27> a report in the Los Angeles Times, the new rules are being challenged by

mid-level DHS officials and Veteran Border Patrolmen, who argued that the

new rules barring self-defense from rock-throwers "could create a much more

dangerous environment, especially for agents operating in rural or desolate

areas, often alone, where concealment, cover and egress is not an option."

But Johnston overrode the internal opposition by Veteran Border Patrolmen,

and forced the implementation of the advocacy groups' new Rules Of

Engagement; Johnson demonstrated his incompetence on the first day on the

job by putting Federal law Enforcement lives more in danger.  The new Rules

Of Engagement will encourage drug cartels and human smuggling cartels in

Mexico to get much more aggressive.  These unconscionable new Rules Of

Engagement, should be grounds for Speaker Boehner to take action against DHS

for  intentionally putting the lives of Federal Law Enforcement Officers in

danger, and creating fear for the families of those dedicated Federal Law

Enforcement Officers. 

 

Obama is doing to Federal Law Enforcement Officers what he did to US Combat

Forces in Afghanistan, forcing new and very dangerous Rules Of Engagement on

them (those new and dangerous Rules Of Engagement in Afghanistan increased

personnel Killed In Action by casualties by 458%).  If the Speaker of the

House doesn't take "immediate" and "firm" action to oppose these new and

dangerous Rules Of Engagement for Border Patrolmen at the Mexican Border

that are preventing them from defending themselves and telling them to

"run", like the speaker has failed for 17 months to establish a Select House

Investigative Committee with subpoena authority on The Battle of Benghazi,

there should be a change in leadership in the House.
