A Homeland Security whistleblower is offering a glimpse into how officers facing the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis are faring — saying Biden administration policies "were implemented irresponsibly" by people who are removed from the situation on the ground and "do not have any sense of realism."
In an interview
with Fox News' Sara Carter on
Hannity Thursday evening, the unidentified DHS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed increasing frustration at the federal government's handling of the situation.
"People are just very burned out and there's not a lot of optimism that it's going to get better anytime soon," the unnamed official, a male, told Carter.
The official went on to say that he was frustrated with President Biden's border policies.
"I think the policies were implemented irresponsibly and I think they do not have any sense of realism," the man explained.
"The people that implemented them, because they are not down here and haven't been here, they don't have significant law enforcement background. This is all something that until you have done this job, or you've actually had some feedback from people who have, you're not well-equipped to handle the human capital involved in working this," he continued.

The DHS official also alleged to Carter that unaccompanied minors were being moved across the US with the help of taxpayer dollars.
"My understanding is, they are going to several directions and oftentimes the NGOs are involved on some level, the government is involved," he said.

Central Americans looking for refuge from the Northern Triangle countries — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — have taken these policy moves, as well as the overwhelmingly more welcoming tone from Democrats, as a sign that Biden is inviting them to cross the border.

Insisting that the border was
not facing a crisis, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in early March that the problems the agency faced
should be blamed on the previous administration.
The data, however, overwhelmingly shows that migrants were flooding the border because they believed Biden would
welcome them with open arms.
Late last month, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
blamed the new president for the crisis, arguing that the "expectations" he set left migrants with
the perception that they would be let into the US.
There is no mention of what they are in the article?..
"Biden administration policies "were implemented irresponsibly" by people who are removed from the situation on the ground and "do not have any sense of realism.".......
What policies were implemented irresponsibly and in what way were they implemented irresponsibly?
"I think the policies were implemented irresponsibly and I think they do not have any sense of realism,"
What policies? and in what sense did you were they unrealistic?
"The anonymous official said he was frustrated with President Biden's border policies"
In what way? why? how?
"The Biden administration's undoing of former President Donald Trump's border policies has prompted a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children."
The undoing of what Trump policies?
You think an article complaining about Bidens policies would mention what those policies were? Surely?
Lacking any factual, relevant information....
Regardles of what 'side' you are on, this is a terrible article devoid of any facts whatsoever....
