Biden's 'whipping' lie harms Border Patrol effectiveness

 Washington Examiner:

Border Patrol agents are fearful of carrying out their duties a full year after President Joe Biden and his administration demonized federal law enforcement on false grounds of whipping immigrants, according to a report.

Brandon Judd, the national president of the Border Patrol union, said the fallout from the incident in late September has caused federal police to think twice before doing regular parts of their jobs.

“Border Patrol agents are very hesitant to do their jobs knowing that they could be accused by the most powerful man in the world of a crime,” said Judd, head of the National Border Patrol Council, in an interview with Fox News.

"Now, you just have a bunch of agents that are very, very hesitant to go out there and do the best that they possibly can for fear that they're going to come under investigation, that they're going to be accused of a crime as well," he said.

...

I suspect that the Democrats will lose more Hispanic votes on the border because of Biden's obvious lie.  There is little wonder why several wives of Border agents are running for Congress as Republicans.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
