Unfortunately, we find that Art can do an amazing cackle impression.
The Politics of Arizona are discussed and how most voters will tend to vote and why stepping out of the echo chamber is important to listen to all candidates.

For this weeks The Green Line Radio Show has been very busy with interviews about the Border Situation and many of these from East Coast Stations which means he has had to get up really, really early to do interviews, but he also has to go to bed really late because he is still doing interviews. One of the key features was discussing the Executive Action from the Biden Administration on the Border.
It is important to note however, President Biden has released over 2.8 million people into the country more than the population of Chicago, Our third largest city. While Art is somewhat hopeful for any discussion on the Border he is sceptacle due to the fact that President Biden claimed that he couldn't take executive action to fix the abuse of the asylum system. Now less than six months before the election. He claims he suddenly has the authority to act under his new rules.
Art points out that Under this Executive Action, the 1st 2500 that are coming in will still then have to be processed and then needed to determine if they request asylum. Once you hit that point, What they're saying is everyone else is going to be set back, right? In a perfect world, that would work. It worked under the Trump administration, Art explains the differences. We also learn why this Action however could lead to a rise in Child Trafficking.
Andy ask Art about the Summer Heat and those Agents that are going be out there in the field. Art reminds us even in 113 degrees, They still go out there in the field and as he says The US Border Patrol is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world and continues its work today.

In this Week’s Episode of The Green Line Radio Show, Art Del Cueto gives us his thoughts on some of those seeking asylum in the United States and how he is concerned there is no real desire to pledge Allegiance to the United States. There is concern though that some statements made during this time on social media are misleading. This includes statements against Agents and how the State of Texas disagrees with the Federal Administration, however Border Patrol Agents are following their duties. Art is surprised that some Social Media Reporters are calling on Agents to walk away in disagreement with the administration.
Art was on a Show this past week and explains his concern with the "terrorist watch list." His concern centers around those that were traveling with asylum seekers and not on the list.

Expressing frustration over the reporting of individuals crossing the Southern Border, he highlights not only those processed through official ports of entry but also the substantial figures of those apprehended after illicitly entering the region. Art questions the apparent lack of transparency from the Agency when it comes to sharing these critical statistics with the media.
A puzzling question emerges: Why would asylum seekers opt to evade authorities by entering between ports of entry? Art indicates this as a calculated strategy employed by cartels to divert attention and facilitate the movement of illegal goods through alternative routes.
The show takes an exciting turn as Dr. Dale Comstock, a former member of Delta Force, graces the Green Line. Dr. Comstock reflects on his journey into the United States Army and offers intriguing insights gained from his deployments.

In this week's installment of The Green Line Radio Show, Art Del Cueto brings us the latest developments from the Southern Border. One notable highlight is Art's account of receiving a call from Representative Juan Ciscomani, who expressed a keen interest in gaining firsthand insight into the border situation. Del Cueto recounts Ciscomani's recent tour of a border sector, where he had the opportunity to observe the tools utilized by agents in their operations along the border. However, the tour primarily focused on the tools and equipment rather than delving into the specific numbers and implementation strategies.
Venturing away from the ports of entry, Art Del Cueto chauffeured Rep. Ciscomani and his team to the site of the existing border wall. This journey offered them an immersive experience of the "Border Patrol Way" – a detour leading off the beaten path onto a rugged road. As the tour continued, it became evident that the wide-open plains stretch beyond the boundary where the wall concludes. This exposed landscape has been a subject of concern due to reports of cartels employing drones to pinpoint areas where agents are actively engaged, aiding their illicit smuggling and trafficking operations. Del Cueto addresses the question of whether these drones can be intercepted or shot down.
Art informs us of photographs which emerged last week revealing cartel members, clad in camouflage, on U.S. soil along the border, brandishing automatic weapons. Despite the swift response of the Bortac unit, the individuals in question evaded capture, leaving authorities perplexed yet the evidence was captured in these photos. This occurrence underscores the disconcerting scenario of armed operatives operating on American territory and raises questions about potential confrontations with border agents. Another intriguing story from this week centers around a smuggling attempt involving a bag containing spider monkeys. Del Cueto, who has witnessed a multitude of unusual occurrences, admits that this particular incident was a sight he'd rather not encounter.
Turning to matters of policy, Del Cueto sheds light on the asylum process and the pivotal role of asylum judges. He stresses the importance of streamlining the qualification hearings and reducing the release of individuals into cities while awaiting their hearings, a process that can extend for years. Many cities, including the likes of New York City, have found themselves grappling with the strain of accommodating these individuals. Notably, Senator Krysten Sinema has advocated for equitable federal funding, pointing out that Arizona, particularly the Tucson Sector, leads the nation in apprehensions, entries, and getaways yet New York City seems to be getting Federal Funding.

The episode takes a turn as Art unveils a recent Fox News exposé that pulls back the curtain on the staggering reality in Arizona—over 10,000 asylum seekers have crossed into the state, in a One Week Period.

The crux of the problem, as Art astutely points out, lies in the legal realm. The failure of prosecutors to rigorously pursue these cases has perpetuated the very issues promised to be eradicated. Astonishingly, more than a decade later, the struggle continues—a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Border Patrol Agents, undeterred even in the face of formidable administrative challenges.

For this Week’s Episode of the Green Line Art Del Cueto has had a busy week and shares some of the stresses for the week. One of these centered around a new program by CBP to introduce Dogs/Canines to reduce stress. While Art is a dog lover, he feels this is certainly not the solution for Agents to feel lower levels of stress. The pure solution would be Policy Change and more agents to work the overtaxed borders and deal with reducing the number of Gotaways. His views ruffled some fur in management however most of the Agents he has spoken with feel the Dog program is not the solution.
Art has a serious discussion on Law Enforcement and the horrible situation in Memphis.

For this Week’s Episode of the Green Line Art Del Cueto takes a moment and shares his thoughts about Life. Life Lessons learned through stories of others that have left behind legacies and how special life is. Art shows how amazing sometimes it can be to step back and look at the entire picture and what we may hold as stress can be looked at differently when the importance of why we are here is revealed.
Surprisingly, the same thoughts can apply to the situation on numbers coming into the country requesting asylum and the continued numbers of gotaways overtaxing the mission of the Border Patrol. Simply put, the Administration needs to correct the situation and look at the entire picture how it is affecting the Country and how it will in the coming years.
The Agency has been seeking to hire more Border Patrol Agent yet as discussed in previous episodes, there is a problem with the Polygraph steps which has been outlined in various media reports.

For this Week’s Episode of the Green Line Art Del Cueto discusses an issue regarding the second amendment and ATF and how a regulation has been passed regarding handgun stocks. Art explains what this means and why this is, in his newly created word, Unsense.
Another problem with a story in the news center around an upcoming visit by Vice President Harris to Arizona yet does not seem to involve the situation along the border. As the Appointed Border Czar, shouldn't the Vice President try to check in on the situation along the southern border and talk to the Agents dealing with the influx of asylum cases?
Art creates the word Unsense and hope more will start using this new term until this nonsense stops.

The movement of Agents from Tucson Sector to Areas in Texas or even those migrants to San Diego and being processed then returned to Tucson. There is no sense in these operations.

Art tells us a story about an Agent with Air and Marine that was killed near Puerto Rico in an operation to stop drug trafficking, yet nothing was said by the Administration or Media about this.

Both sides of the political aisles need to come together and enact change rather than only point fingers at the cost of agents lives and well-being.
The numbers continue to increase upwards, and apprehensions also continue to be evergreen news stories as if it is not startling to hear of 69,000 people since October, it has become normal. Art calls on the agency again to provide some form of compensation for the mental health, well-being and martial arts training for Agents.

In this week’s episode of The Green Line Radio Show, Art Del Cueto shares about a recent trip he made which not only had him dealing with Peanuts, Puker’s and a Plonker! If he wanted to write a sequel to Planes, Trains and Automobiles he certainly could base on this trip, except for the two pillows. While we feel bad for Art, we can't help but snicker at his bad luck. Art did get a good twist of luck though from the people at Hertz Rental Car, so the story ends on a good note. Except that at the end of the trip, Art gets sick, and he thinks he knows why!
Some border crossers when apprehended are choosing to challenge agents and attack them. We learn of a recent battle between an Agent and suspected illegal alien which lasted 17 minutes. Again, the AUSA (Assistant United States Attorney) decides not to prosecute the offender. The onslaught not only has an increase in attacks on Agents but also drug activity and the hiring of young adult US Citizens to aid in human smuggling. This has been a growing problem with the traffickers using social media to promise a payoff for driving a car.
Art tells us about a confrontation between a British woman who wanted to get in a verbal confrontation with him. What a Week…

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.

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.

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?

Art shares startling information that even when Agents are being assaulted in this method, Prosecutions don't seem to be happening.
A Sad reality of the work of the Agents of the Border Patrol finds frustration as when they are assaulted the perpetrators might not be assaulted however when somebody complains about an Agent, they may be investigated and put on Non-Paid Leave. A friend of Art's sends him a video of an arrest by Police Officers and how some Law Enforcement Agencies are dealing with bystanders second guessing the tactics of the Arrest. As Art reminds us, the Law is the Law and why any Arrest can escalate depends on the behavior of the suspect. Why the Arrest take place in the first place, Is a Clue.
We are reminded of the importance of training and furthering the Skills in the field of Martial Arts and with the call for defunding will these needed skills be lost to those in Law Enforcement that can benefit.

In this Week’s The Green Line Radio Show, Brandon Judd President of the National Border Patrol Council sits down with Art Del Cueto about the situation along the Border. Art asks Brandon about the biggest differences between the Former Trump Administration and Biden Administration. Most of the change seen regarding illegal immigration is Catch and Release and how the resumption of that practice has increased the flow of Illegal Entry to the United States after 45 years lows.
With the new approach to immigration, when those captured or voluntary turn themselves in, when they are released, they are given a legal status to be in the United States with a Notice to Appear. This is known as a NTA, this allows them to get a driver’s license and other documents.
Vice President Harris has made the announcement, after Former President Trump announces he will tour the Southern Border with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, that she will indeed visit the Southern Border in El Paso. One of The Concerns is the elimination of Title 42 which will open the flood gates even more seeking residence in the United States. Art and Brandon discuss about how Governor Abbot has worked for his state to provide a solution to help stem the tide of illegal immigration. Brandon talks about what he would do if he were made governor. We also learn how the administration changed how agents respond in the media. Being vocal is important to Brandon and this is discussed.

For this Week's The Green Line, Art Del Cueto has received mail from angered individuals in response to the recent news reports of a visit by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to facilities in Texas housing Detainees who have turned themselves in seeking asylum. There have been strong statements from Rep Cortez in the News about the trip which Art calls misleading and untrue to the general public. Statements made by Rep. Cortez regarding a detainee being told to "drink out of a toilet" when requesting water is completely off base. That statement along with others paints a misleading picture of the situation at the holding facility.
The Elephant in the Room which must be addressed is the Facebook Group "I am 10-15." The National Border Patrol Council has issued an Official Statement regarding this private Facebook group and has spoken out against this group and does not condone the postings and activities and in no way represents the great Men and Woman of the Border Patrol. Art updates us on this group and the investigation which has begun by Administration on these derogatory and insensitive comments and images posted within this group. The Full statement can be viewed at http://www.bpunion.com
Art compliments Chief Rudy Karisch of RGV on his reality check to the public and media for the Men and Women working at the Detention Facilities. At what levels are they performing the duties called upon them? A message to the Agents from Art sums it up, "Do Not Become the People that hate you...”

For this Weeks "The Green Line" Radio Show Art Del Cueto gives us an Update on the Surge at the Southern Border, while the media has become quiet regarding the numbers, Family Units at the Southern Border has increased. The numbers have tapped the resources of the Agency and the 20 Day rule has seen more of these families released into the United States, Pending the Court date for the Asylum claim.
Protecting the Borders of the United States is a matter of law and not of race however because the men and woman of the Border Patrol enforce the law they are verbally attacked by groups claiming it's a racist enforcement.

make promises for those coming into the country yet no legislation was made to deal with it.

Art Del Cueto in this week’s The Green Line speaks on the Mission of The Radio Show. It seems like many speak without the respect of others.

For this Weeks Show, Art Del Cueto talks about a week full of activity and the schedule for many in the National Border Patrol Council. With Art's many appearances on Television for the Council from time to time he is recognized and approached for support for the Agents.

Lee pens some brilliant words and feelings -
As I sit here watching The Patriot and writing notes I am filled with wonder and some dread. Have we lost our sense of Patriotism? Has nearly half our young men and women forgotten what liberty, freedom, personal responsibility, and sovereignty is?
Our forefathers fought for these values and I hope that we do not forget them.
This is the single greatest country, ever, in the history of mankind. We are the bastion of freedom the world over and if we forget all that our forefathers fought and died for where will we be? They did not die for some socialist ideal they believed that we should all enjoy personal freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Let us never forget, all of us.

The duty is to protect the people and interest of the United States.
