The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol has resigned after only six months on the job, one day after President Trump announced plans to ratchet up immigration enforcement and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Thursday.

It was not immediately clear why Mark Morgan — a career FBI official who was the first outsider to lead the agency responsible for securing the U.S. borders — left the agency. His resignation is effective Jan. 31, officials said.

But Morgan had clashed with the powerful Border Patrol union, which endorsed Trump for president and whose leaders were present at Trump’s announcement of his immigration crackdown at Department of Homeland Security headquarters Wednesday.

“The union has been very vocal about someone from outside of the Border Patrol becoming the head of the Border Patrol,” Kerlikowske said. “The union supported this candidate for president, and now very much appears to be directing things — which is absolutely unheard of in law enforcement. The union used their influence to have him removed.’’

4. Trump claims that he will add border agents.

But Trump lies about everything, so who knows what will happen. I am ashamed to say it, being a lifelong Democrat that believes in core Party Principles, if someone voted for Trump, if they get hurt by his actions, have at it. I am more concerned about the people that actively opposed him and/or voted for Hillary Clinton getting hurt by the Orange Psycho.
