EPISODE379TGL
On this week’s episode of The Green Line, Art Del Cueto provides another update in the continued discussion of the Federal Mandate regarding the Covid 19 Vaccinations. While many Agents are not supportive of the idea of a Federal Mandate, Art stresses the consultation with the Agents physicians when it comes to seeking out a Medical Waiver rather than collecting stories from the Web or social media.
The conversation regarding the Situation at Del Rio and the Agents of the Border Patrol is also discussed with the disappointment and anger at the Administration for not investigating the facts surrounding what was taking place at the Southern Border and instead chastising the Horse Patrol. Andy points out that the area under the bridge in Del Rio is now cleared out after tents and a multitude of people were camped out waiting to be screened. Where did they go? This seems to be a flip flopping of the numbers in this past week by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as far as the numbers that were allowed into the United States.

EPISODE 377 – The Mandate and Agents
On this week’s episode of The Green Line, Art opens the show with the news of President Biden making the statement that the federal government is requiring a Mandate on the Vaccinations for Covid-19 for all federal employees. The National Border Patrol Council has been investigating the alternatives for those not wanting to be a part of this Federal Mandates. Art explains his personal feelings regarding this and doesn’t want to push the issue for or against however stresses people should speak to their physician. In all said, if there is no Medical Reason or Faith Based reason to not get the vaccine then under the edict, if an agent refuses it could mean termination of the agent by the Agency.
The Question of finding an attorney to pursue the matter doesn’t present a viable option. Some have asked based on Articles online, “How come the USPS – is exempt?” Pointing at the source, not so fast, turns out they aren’t exempt. The Misinformation should not drive the argument.
Art reminds us of the hypocrisy of the Administration issuing a mandate and reiterates that even though we are concerned with the Pandemic, the federal government has had thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens released pending a court date in the US. No testing, No vaccine. If an Agent was able to gain a waiver it is important to note, the Agency could elect to have the Agent, relocated or job description changed.
Art shares a revelation about AOC, attending a high-priced function wearing a dress that says, “Tax The Rich.” Art has Andy chuckling as he describes the Outfit reminiscent of a Chic-Fil A Bag, Art tells us a little back story about this Event that was attended.

EPISODE 375 – Tarnished Collar
In This Week’s, the Green Line Radio Show Art Del Cueto talks about the current situation regarding Border Security and the Pandemic. With the Administration almost promoting open borders it has created a situation for Agents in dealing with those which may be carrying Covid-19, This concerns the NBPC and Agents alike.
If we could all have the confused look on our faces it would be due to a recent tweet by the Department of Homeland Security regarding the Remain in Mexico policy. The Tweet read with the DHS disappointed by the reinstatement of Remain in Mexico which have Agents and even managers wondering where that came from?

In This Week’s, the Green Line Radio Show Art Del Cueto talks about leadership within the ranks of the Agency and how it is surprising that some have moved up in leadership which don’t seem to have the safety and wellbeing of the Agents in Mind.

The Situation, as discussed on last week’s show, with refugees now from Afghanistan are posing even more frustrations as CBP is also moving to handle those Asylum cases.
