Calling the wall along US/Mexico border the Trump Wall is like calling the Great Wall of China the Qin Shi Huang Wall. Contrary to popular belief and political claims, Mongolia never paid for it.

@LMplusG @chicagofire4321 @RepBarbaraLee It’s actually 57 for FBI Agents, Secret Service, and Border Patrol. It’s only 56 for Air Traffic Controlers, but commercial pilots have a max age of 65.

@CBP Did you know CBP allows travelers one article of each type of counterfeit merchandise when arriving in the United States? So, one purse, one watch, etc. It’s called the personal use exemption. Even crew members are allowed a counterfeit for personal use.

@CBPMarkMorgan @CBP As the US unemployment rate rises, apprehensions at the border have a tendency to drop. This decrease is more likely a lack of available jobs. With fewer people crossing for work, fewer family members are seeking to follow.

@CBP Dear Americans, these restrictions also apply to your travel to Canada and Mexico. It’s a reciprocal ban on non-essential travel.

@USBPChief The existing design lacks anti-climb and anti-cut features. Migrants can climb over the current new wall and cut through slats with reciprocating saws. In fact, CBP asked for help from contractors to improve the wall's design along the southwest border.

@CBPMarkMorgan @realDonaldTrump GAO Report: @CBP misappropriated $112 million for "ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, boats, passenger vans, and small utility vehicles." Congress allocated emergency funding to CBP, ICE, and FEMA for migrant care, specifically "consumables and medical care."

@markberman @NickMiroff Oleoresin capsicum pepper balls and rubber-composite coated ammunition, clearly not to be confused with tear-inducing gas or bullets cast in solid natural rubber.

DHS unlawfully appointed @HomelandKen Cuccinelli the acting head of @USCIS. With the title "senior official performing the duties of the deputy secretary for the Department of Homeland Security," he should not have set immigration policies for asylum.

@realDonaldTrump The border did not close, @CBP always allowed US citizens and residents to return stateside (with quarantine). US carriers canceled China routes (not by presidential order). However, the repatriation of Diamond Princess passengers, against @CDCgov advice, doubled COVID-19 cases.

@OFODEAC @CBP CBP agent and officer suicide rates are 28% higher than any other law enforcement agency. Thoughts and prayers for those struggling to do their job in this high-stress environment. Don't forget to check on your strong friend.

Senators propose a temporary ban on facial recognition by the federal government until Congress can regulate the technology. The suggested moratorium appears to exclude warrantless search authority of @CBP at border crossings and international airports.

.@WhiteHouse Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said the United States "needs more immigrants" and the US is "running out of people" to sustain growth. Contrary to Trump's restrictive immigration policies, Mulvaney called for an expansion of legal immigration.

@CJ39000511 @USBPChief .@CBP once called it replacement wall until the President didn’t want to hear the truth. Now it’s all called “new,” even though at least 100 miles replaced existing barriers.

.@DeptofDefense gives $3.8 billion to the border wall. Pentagon will cancel two F-35 fighter jets and two Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft (Marines); one P-8A (Navy); four C-130J and eight MQ-9 Reaper drones (Air Force); and updated Humvees and trucks (Army).

@Jai_Eugene @CBP This has nothing to do with legality. It is an issue of @CBP using the word "narcotic" to refer to any illicit drug. There are many illegal drugs, but not all are classified as narcotics (e.g., stimulants, depressants, psychotropics). Semantics.

[Border Advisor @BorderAdvisor]

In Mexicali, Mexico, the new border wall system slows down smugglers but does not stop them. They get paid $700 for each time they cut through the wall. Coyotes collect $8,000 per person they smuggle into the United States, sometimes using a rope ladder.

@RepLeeZeldin @DHS_Wolf The truth is, @DHSgov does not need access to DMV records to approve trusted traveler applicants. Databases like NLETS criminal history, @StateDept passport records (PIERS), and @USCIS Central Index System contain the information needed for @CBP Global Entry and @TSA PreCheck.
