Mike Banks, President Donald Trump’s top Border Patrol official, resigned from the position on Thursday, “effective immediately.”

Banks’ departure from the Border Patrol comes under the cloud of sex tourism allegations against him.

Several current and former border patrol agents told the Washington Examiner last month that Banks “bragged” about having sex with prostitutes in countries that included Colombia and Thailand.

    going to other countries with lower age of consent laws to fuck children.

    Notable the two countries mentioned, Thailand’s age of consent is 15. Colombia’s is 14. One can only speculate about the other countries he solicited sex in.

      These are not kids in school, btw. They’re slaves sold for rape.

      Not that republicans have any problems with raping kids. In fact, their golden leader is king of kid rape. So maybe it’s like he said; he just wanted to retire. Maybe do some travel.
