Well. what about others? What do they say? What experts are out there who know something about immigration? What do they think of this bill? What about Border Patrol officers. people who carry out their daily responsibilities to enforce the border. who have lived with this illegality for so long? They are real experts. I assure you they were not in the meeting with the masters of the universe when they crafted this legislation. They know what is happening. A group of them. a prominent group of retired Border Patrol officers held a press conference at the National Press Club on June 4. Their purpose was to express their opinion about the legislation. I have to tell you. their opinions are not a pretty sight. I am going to quote from them and show you what they said. not what this Senator said but what they said. Hugh Brien. the former Chief of the Border Patrol from 1986 to 1989. after the 1986 failed bill became lawHe was appointed by former President George H.W. Bush. He is himself an immigrant to America. He came here as a young man. This is what he had to say about the bill.
