For all of the equipment, intelligence and manpower they have allotted to these forces, considering these men simply negligent seems a drastic undersell of just how guilty they must be. Observing the mind-meltingly obvious indicators of human/child trafficking, drug trafficking and even more on the border is no large feat. If someone is in charge of defending our border, as far as all permanent aspects of our government and its edicts are concerned, what should happen to the people who command such a position, only to not just be negligent, but to facilitate behind a foggy veil all of the kinds of evils that are present at our border today?
I couldn't be more tired of people who are "just doing my job". Does no one remember how our constitution says it isn't just our privilege or right, but RESPONSIBILITY to elect new Guardians and to bathe the tree of Liberty? As the Constitution also says, just how much of this is truly sufferable? How many of these people are truly tyrants? Shouldn't We, The People also "do our job" eventually too?
I'm sure Caesar took a while to stare at the Rubicon. I'm sure he pondered, for far longer than most men would, how he might one day regret doing what he knew he had to do. I'm sure the weight of RESONONSIBILITY weighed on him heavily as well. I'm certain he only reluctantly, with tears in his eyes, cast The Die.
