In a stunning admission that exposes the true scale of America's border catastrophe, retiring Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino told The New York Times that his biggest regret is not catching even MORE illegal aliens during his time leading our overwhelmed border agents.

Think about that for a moment, Patriots. Here's a man who has seen firsthand the tsunami of illegal crossings that has flooded our nation for years, and he's telling us straight up – we only caught a fraction of them.

Bovino's bombshell confession validates what President Trump has been saying all along: the border invasion under the Biden regime was far worse than the American people were ever told. While Democrats and their media allies downplayed the crisis, our own Border Patrol chief knew we were losing the battle.

"One of my few regrets is that we didn't arrest more illegal aliens," Bovino revealed in the interview, pulling back the curtain on just how overwhelmed our border security has been.

This is exactly why President Trump made mass deportations and border security the cornerstone of his second term. The Trump-Vance administration inherited a complete disaster – millions of illegals flooding across our borders while Biden's DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed the "border is secure."

What a joke that turned out to be.

Bovino's honesty stands in stark contrast to the lies we heard for four years from the Biden regime. While they gaslighted Americans about border security, this chief was watching countless illegals slip through because his agents simply couldn't keep up with the massive influx.

Thanks to Trump's leadership, we now have Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary – someone who actually believes in securing our homeland instead of facilitating an invasion. The days of catch-and-release are over, folks.

Bovino's retirement confession should serve as a wake-up call to every American about just how badly the deep state bureaucrats failed us. How many more illegals crossed our borders undetected? How many criminals, drug dealers, and potential terrorists walked right into our communities while Biden slept?

The Trump administration is already working to answer those questions – and more importantly, to fix the mess they inherited. America First means American security, and that starts with knowing who's in our country.

This is exactly what we need to hear more of - honest assessments from the people on the front lines.

What resources and support did he need that he wasn't getting? Would love to hear more specifics about what could have helped him and his agents do their jobs better.

Usually it's manpower, technology, and policy support from higher ups. These guys are hamstrung by politics.

Respect to this retiring chief for speaking out. How many more are staying quiet because they're afraid for their careers? We need our border agents to have full support to do their jobs properly.

I live 30 miles from the border and see the impact daily. My property has been crossed dozens of times - broken fences, trash, and worse. When will Washington listen to people like this chief who actually know what's happening?
