Border Patrol union taunts Biden after border visit: 'Take nap'
The Border Patrol union mocked President Joe Biden Saturday over his visit to the southern border last week.
In a post on X, the union gave a satirical version of Biden's daily schedule, leaning into concerns over the president's age and mental acuity.
"Board AF1, take nap. Wake up in place called Brownsville," it said. "Read large teleprompter message, 'It's all Trump's fault.' Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they 'strap' illegal aliens, express horror, take nap. Wake up, call a lid, hit beach, take nap."

Attached to the post was a picture of Biden in a lawn chair.
The attack was just the latest of several against Biden from the group, which has come out strongly against the president and in favor of former President Donald Trump.
"President Trump treats BP agents with respect, supports their mission and listens to their ideas," a statement from last week read. "Biden falsely accuses agents of crimes, burned the border to the ground and only listens to his radical leftist base. See the difference?"

Another post from the union taunted Biden on the day of his visit to the southern border, saying "In an effort to invigorate him for his border visit, WH staff reportedly tells Biden that Brownsville is a new ice cream flavor."

The group did not support Biden's visit to the border last week, saying it was "too little, too late."
The border has proven to be one of Biden's most difficult issues, with illegal border crossings reaching record highs during his administration. He has wrestled to calm public concerns, which have grown substantially over his presidency.
A February Monmouth University poll found that 61% of the public believe illegal immigration to be a "very serious problem," the first time in the poll's history that a majority answered as much. A majority also support the construction of a border wall, according to the poll.

Another first: Most Americans now want a wall:

All of the hell the country is going through could have been avoided in 2020 if Biden had lost.
The border states can pay for it.
Yep. He chose disaster. He literally invited it.
We are, and as far as I'm concerned, they should go all the way around Texas...
Once again liberals want others to foot the bill for their fuck-ups.
That splains that disfunction Frosty.
Yep …..
That works for me!
The mayors of NYC, Chicago, Denver...may be willing to contribute.
Go ask them, let me know what they say.
They wouldn’t take my calls.
Sounds like the Student Loan scam.
Blue collar workers, raging against the machine.
So much for Joes pathetic attempt to make people believe he cares about better securing the border he opened up.
