On Friday, the Biden regime finally admitted that Border Patrol agents were falsely accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants in Texas last year.
Last month it was reported that the Department of Homeland Security was preparing disciplinary action against border patrol agents who have been falsely accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants at the border.
To set up a bogus narrative, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and DHS Director Mayorkas had all issued strong statements to condemn something that, as it turned out, never happened. However, the agents will still be punished.
Back in September 2021, the migrant crisis had turned the Texas borderlands into a flood, with tens of thousands of illegal border crossers flowing into the U.S. Social media were inundated with images of Haitian migrants wading across the Rio Grande River to enter Texas.
That’s when Biden’s gang seized a news photograph that went viral on social media appearing to show a Border Patrol agent on horseback whipping a fleeing Haitian non-white immigrant.
However, it was proven by the Customs and Border Protection in a 500-page report released Friday that the border agents did not strike the Haitian migrants as they had been accused of doing. Instead, the agents were accused of using too much force and acting unprofessionally.
Flores, who recently won her primary in Texas was quick to call Biden out for his false portrayal.
This was the rhetoric coming from Joe Biden just days after the debunked incident: “To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped – it’s outrageous,” Biden told reporters, making a whipping motion with his hand. https://t.co/w16OuigraI

Even Rep McCarthy said Biden owed the agents an apology.

Chip Roy criticized the decision to punish the agents, saying ‘this administration can’t miss a chance to destroy the morale of our overrun, hardworking Border Patrol for political gain, and it issued disciplinary action anyway to finish off one of the most despicable displays of leadership seen from any cabinet Secretary.’
And according to the Daily Mail, the Texas Rep said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ‘doesn’t deserve to lead’ the DHS.
Greg Gutfeld also tore into the Biden Administration Friday.
“This is, you know, right up there with two plus two equals five and Orwell’s “1984.” It’s like “Yeah, we found nothing wrong, but you’ll be sentenced to five years of hard labor.” Well, no, it is, that’s the thing that I think should disgust everybody in terms of offensive language. The real offensive language was comparing border patrol to slave owners, to call and calling all of this, they used this language, this dramatic language “it’s horrific… it’s brutal… they will pay.” And it’s like that rash, hyper-dramatic tweet you put out that gets all the attention. And then when it turns out you’re dead wrong. The correction is just a little mouse squeak.”
The impact of the smear and prolonged “investigation” can never be determined or gauged. Perhaps the overworked Border Patrol agents under a cloud of doubt were reluctant to do their job uncompromisingly for the fear of being branded as racist. This concern is likely to remain.
The result is even more illegal and unvetted migrants cross the border. Perhaps that was one of the motives behind the smear.
