'Status Quo Is Just Not Acceptable': ICE Director Says Agency Is 'Running Out of Resources'

Jan. 2, 2019

Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Ronald Vitiello said Wednesday that his agency is being depleted of resources at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Speaking on "Special Report," Vitiello said that ICE is facing an "unprecedented crisis" regarding the traffic flow along the border.

He said that 65 percent of the more than 2,000 people arriving at the border each day are lone children or families with children.

"That changes the enforcement dynamic, it changes the traffic, it changes the resources that CBP (Customs and Border Protection) is applying to that problem," he said.

Vitiello said loopholes in immigration law are encouraging more people to come to the border.

"We're running out of resources, and the status quo is just not acceptable," he said.

He said that the partial government shutdown, which entered its 12th day Wednesday, is an issue for his agency, calling it a "disruption" to its employees.

ICE is already in "unprecedented territory," Vitiello said, adding that he was disappointed at lawmakers opposed to President Trump's long-proposed border wall.

"Those agents need an enduring capability to slow people down as they come across that border," he said. "You always have a safer border where you have that barrier."

Everything is ass backwards. They have Border Patrol on the front line, with active military somewhere behind them and national guard way way behind them.

They need to put active military on the front line, use national guard for a middle line, and put Border Patrol at the back of line to do what they do which is "process" whoever gets through.

Border Patrol doesn't keep them out, they "process" them.

Bad system, ass backwards, put someone on the front line who knows how to keep people out of our territory who aren't supposed to be in it. Border Patrol doesn't know how to do that. That's why we have 30 million illegal aliens roaming our land free as birds.

FLIP THE SWITCH.

Implement Judy's Plan B:

Tell all these countries, if our citizens don't stop entering our country illegally, then your country will have no aid from or trade with the United States. Period.


The United States won WWII in 3 years and 8 months. We're soon to be 2 years into this war on the US border. When what you're doing isn't working the way you're doing it, you do something else .... to win.

Exactly how do you propose these countries stop their people from leaving? Are you suggesting they build a Berlin Wall? Why would they do such a thing when they want the remittances to keep rolling in? To suggest that nobody can leave a country is ridiculous. Anyone leaving one of these countries could be a potential illegal alien, but no one should suggest a country imprison their entire population.

You have things a little reversed. Stopping illegals from entering our country is our job and it's about darn time we did it. Telling other countries to secure our nations border and expecting them to do it is ridiculous. That job belongs to our weak kneed politicians in Washington, D.C.! Expecting another country to do what we obviously won't do ourselves is beyond logic.

Wow, so you think illegal aliens have the right to "leave their country" which means entering another country illegally. There's a lot of upside down, inside out, say anything, do anything, to try to make Americans and Trump in particular look like failures, but I do believe this one of yours really does take the cake.

Tou've just articulated your support for the fundamental philosophy of the Open Borders Movement.

As usual, I see you missed my point. Furthermore, you didn't answer my questions.

You do realize we have a lot of illegals here that are legal visa overstays, don't you?

Yes, that makes them illegal aliens, too, right? I think so, we've called visa over-stays illegal aliens ever since I've been here.

They must be stopped from entering. We are essentially saying that we have little border control by permitting this invasion. We cannot absorb other nations' citizens or the problems that follow.

Mexico is between us and those who seek to illegally cross the southern border. In my opinion Mexico is an enemy of the United States. Drugs, smugglers, other criminals, potential terrorists, people who have little education, those who are unskilled, socialists, America haters, all cross our border with Mexico in mass every month.
