As the Biden administration’s border crisis continues and law enforcement is stretched thin, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has resorted to virtually processing illegal aliens.
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott told NTD News that “virtual processing is like a Zoom call or a Skype call. It’s basically leveraging CBP-Border Patrol personnel from around the whole country to help process people and to get them through the system.”
Scott explained that the illegal alien is sitting in front of a camera and an agent in another part of the country takes their biographical and biometric information. However, Scott highlighted that “Zoom calls aren’t the best for actually picking up on… body language and everything else.”
“This is a reminder to America that this is not a Southwest border problem,” said Scott. “This is a national security problem… Many of them will be released into the United States, they call home and the next wave comes. This is unsustainable, and a huge threat.”
Overwhelmed Border Patrol stations—including in Eagle Pass, Texas—suspended vehicle processing last week in order to allow more agents to process illegal aliens. Similarly, vehicle processing in Lukeville, Arizona, was reduced last week.
