Border Patrol chief is mad that he can't use slurs to describe immigrants anymore



By Amy Lieu -April 29, 2021 5:53 PM

After implementing a policy change on language, the acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner said, 'The words we use matter and will serve to further confer that dignity to those in our custody.'

Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, a Donald Trump appointee, denounced a new Biden administration policy demanding changes in the language used to refer to immigrants.

Scott penned a memo to Acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Troy Miller on April 16 to protest a proposed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol policy to replace "illegal alien" with "undocumented noncitizen" and "assimilation" with "civic integration," among other new suggested language.

A law enforcement source leaked the memo to conservative right-wing media outlet Breitbart, which published it on April 27.

Charming fellow. Maybe he'd be happier leading a Klavern instead of the Border Patrol? He can go as soon as his hood comes back from the cleaners. Or we can just forward it.

Firing can be difficult. Reassigning is so much easier and every bit as effective.
