Mike Banks, the border patrol chief who oversaw the most aggressive militarization of the US southern border in recent history, has resigned with immediate effect.

“It’s just time,” Banks told Fox News in an interview. “I feel like I got the ship back on course from the least secure, most disastrous, most chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever seen.”


quote:

The resignation comes weeks after the Washington Examiner reported that six current and former border patrol employees had accused Banks of regularly paying for sex with prostitutes during trips to Colombia and Thailand over more than a decade, and bragging about it to colleagues.

The behavior was said to have been investigated twice by CBP officials, with one inquiry reportedly ending abruptly while the former homeland security secretary Kristi Noem was in office.

CBP described the matter as “closed” last month, with a spokesperson telling the Examiner the allegations “date back more than a decade and were reviewed years ago”.

He just needs to claim he hired lady boys in Thailand, and he’ll be in a protected class.

The first trip to Bangkok with the wife and three kids in 1986, the topic of getting a Bangkok haircut had been discussed. She said no problem. I went to get the haircut and she sent the three kids into watch.

Hey- being Border Patrol Chief is a stressful job. Probably has Trump on his arse all day long. He needed to get his freak on to help deal with the pressure.
