Obama border Chief

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.b01845e5c3ef

This guy has integrity.

“The morning after Trump reiterated in a prime-time address to the nation why wall funding was worth shutting down 25 percent of the federal government, Morgan told The Fix that he’s breaking his silence because, in his view, the wall is an important piece in a group of policy changes needed to secure the border.

“I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right,' " Morgan said. “I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country. I’m begging the president to stay the course.”

The opinion of those on the ground, doing the work, are the only one that matter.

Kudos to him for stepping up to the plate.
Time for the REAL Adults to start talking.

Perhaps because few could read it, since it is behind a pay wall.

I just clicked it again, and read it just fine for the second time. Perhaps you've already used up your allotted WAPO freebies?

One can read WP articles three times (per month, I think) for free before the paywall block pops up.

Here's the article for anyone who is blocked:

Obama Border Patrol chief to Trump: ‘Stay the course’ on the border wall

By Colby Itkowitz
January 9

Mark Morgan, a career FBI official who served as Border Patrol chief for the last six months of the Obama administration before being removed once President Trump took office, has come out this week in support of a border wall.

Morgan, who has kept a low profile since he was forced to step down, first gave an interview to Law and Crime in which he defended the White House’s desire to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.

The morning after Trump reiterated in a prime-time address to the nation why wall funding was worth shutting down 25 percent of the federal government, Morgan told The Fix that he’s breaking his silence because, in his view, the wall is an important piece in a group of policy changes needed to secure the border.
