The Biden border crisis is pushing the overstretched Border Patrol to the brink.

Now they’re getting some backup in trying to keep the country safe. 

And shelter dogs’ shocking role in the scary fight against the Biden border crisis will leave you stunned.

Shelter dogs may help clean up Joe Biden’s mess

President Joe Biden created the worst border crisis in American history after he began opening the border by unilaterally rolling back virtually every successful border security measure on his first day in office.

The Border Patrol is now being overwhelmed by record numbers of illegal aliens pouring across the southern – and even northern – border each and every day.

Agents are overworked and overwhelmed dealing with the chaos.

Now, a bipartisan push is underway in Congress to use shelter dogs to comfort Border Patrol agents.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (RINO-TX) – a ruling class RINO gun grabber who represents the largest stretch of the Texas-Mexico border – is trying to give shelter dogs a chance for a better life.

He introduced legislation that would create a pilot program at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to adopt dogs from animal shelters near the border and train them to be therapy animals.

It would supplement a program created last year by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) called the Canine Support Program.

The bill is named after Pearl, the first dog in the Canine Support Program.

“These men and women work long hours year-round and face enormous challenges head-on,” Gonzales said in a press release. “By improving access to canine therapy support, this legislation will give our law enforcement one more tool to improve mental health outcomes at CBP.”

The goal of the pilot program would be to place a therapy dog at every Border Patrol sector on the U.S.-Mexico border.

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), one of the bill cosponsors, told Fox News that during a trip to the border, he saw the enormous stress the Border Patrol is under.

“Every time I come down here, it gets worse; the lack of detention space, the human tragedy you see here; what the Border Patrol has to deal with every day, day in and day out, looking at these migrants that are pouring in; this sense of hopelessness, that it won’t stop,” McCaul said. “Profoundly, I worry about the mental health of our Border Patrol. The suicide rate is going up. They don’t have the proper resources.”

The Border Patrol has struggled to recruit new agents, putting greater strain on the existing workforce.

Air Marshals and other members of federal law enforcement have been sent to the southern border to help deal with the Biden border crisis.

Dogs are an essential tool for securing the border

The CBP has a specially trained Canine Unit based out of El Paso, Texas that uses dogs to track down illegal aliens and drug smugglers.

Dogs are also used at the ports of entry along the southern border to sniff out drugs hidden on vehicles trying to enter the United States.

Keeping America’s southern border secure is getting an assist from man’s best friend.
