Border agents ‘beyond frustrated’ as Biden prepares to finally visit besieged southern border

Top Border Patrol officials say agents are beyond frustrated ahead of President Biden's visit to the southern border on Sunday, as they try to deal with the two-year crisis.

It’s unclear whether he will meet Border Patrol agents, but the head of the Border Patrol union told Fox News Digital that if he did, he’d meet a workforce where morale is low from two years of a historic border crisis. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"We're beyond frustrated that it's taken him two years. We're beyond frustrated that he allowed this issue to get as bad as it is," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News Digital. "He's not coming to the border of his own accord. He would have done that a long, long time ago." He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.

Judd says he believes the visit is due to pressure from certain media outlets as well as from fellow Democrats including NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who has taken aim at the administration over its handling of the crisis that has hit New York City as well as others.
