63% : "He knows the border, but the ins-and-outs and the size and capabilities of CBP is pretty far outside his remit and understanding how to deal with other parts of the administration."
59% : While CBP is an operational -- not a policy-making -- agency, I've been closely involved in the major DHS immigration, border security, trade, and other policy discussions throughout my time as Commissioner.
52% : Magnus pushed back against the claims in the Politico article in a lengthy statement in which he said he cares "a great deal about CBP and the people who work here." "In the 10 months I've been CBP's Commissioner, I've gotten up to speed on the agency's many complex areas of responsibility.
40% : Critics say he was entirely "disinterested" in the functions of the border patrol.
16% : Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Chris Magnus, who presided over an influx of illegal aliens that reached more than 2.7 million in 2022 alone, was given an ultimatum by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to either resign his position or be fired by Joe Biden.
