The nation’s sheriffs on Friday expressed anger that President Joe Biden did not recognize law enforcement in his State of the Union address, blasting the White House for turning a calm border into a calamity.
While he gave his speech just two weeks after visiting the Texas border, where he met with agents, Biden failed to acknowledge their efforts to keep the nation safe despite broadening violence.
The National Sheriffs’ Association, expressing frustration both at being ignored by Biden and by Biden’s dismantling of the Trump-era border protections officers played a critical part in enforcing, called on the president to take action today to stop the flow of illegal immigrants flooding in.
