I was in the Border Patrol in the past. We were a tracking station. We averaged several hundred a month. The wetbacks (still called that then but calling them illegal aliens was creeping in as the politically correct term) were processed and then VR'd (voluntarily returned to Mexico).

Everything that's happening on the border is evil and designed to destroy America. At least where I was we rarely caught OTMs (other than Mexican) in fact I don't remember ever catching one. Now every third world country is flooding into the United States of America.

Even then the border was porous by design, in other words, if as an illegal alien, you kept trying, eventually you would succeed. But it was still limited by the very fact that illegal aliens did get caught and were sent back across the border. Now the illegal aliens are released into America. Thousands are flown to towns and cities and given money, housing, medical and everything else.

This is absolutely replacement of White people and voters for the globo homo democrats.

Basically at that time the border acted as a safety valve for Mexico. People don't seem to understand what that means. It means that the 14 families who owned Mexico had less chance of being knocked off their ownership of Mexico if there was a place for the peasant to flee to. A place to go to work and send remisas back to Mexico. Good for the Mexican economy and for the 14 families.

I quit shortly after I got off probation because having a gun, badge and a costume didn't mean anything to me. Nor did the government pension. When I quit one of my fellow agents gave me a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20. the idea of course, was that was my future for giving up a government pension.

Thanks for the history. I hope the MD2020 remains an unopened souvenir!

In your experience, what was the general attitude of fellow BP folks? Was there ever any indication the Locals would ever organize into an armed stand against the invasion, especially on private property? Or was their grudging acceptance of 'the way it is' and bitching about was the only recourse? Considering the near future as you and Carrell see it, will the Locals get to a point where armed resistance is their only option?

I kept the MD 2020 for years. I never regretted the decision. I was an agent late in the last century. Times were different then. All of my fellow agents were there to catch wetbacks. That was the job. The Hispanic agents hated them worse than the Anglo ones. I remember one of the Hispanic agents using some physical persuasion on a wet back suspected of being a coyote. There never was any threat from the wet backs. It was, as I tried to explain, a pressure valve release for Mexico and a way to have a more than nominal but feel good control of the border for the United States. They came, we caught them and processed them and loaded them onto a bus to the border and they walked back into Mexico. The wet backs were very polite as were we. Standard security pre cautions of course. One thing that bothered me and this was even though I knew then that allowing any number really of illegals into the United States would ultimately destroy the United States, is that I began to see the wet backs as things to be processed rather than actual human beings. I think we

all did. We had sensors at likely crossing points and a few other places in our sector. We would get a sensor hit over the radio and go catch them.

Something else, about twenty or so miles north of the border, outside the distance where we generally caught wet backs, was a gas pipe line with the usual road. One day I drove up there, got on the road and couldn’t believe what I saw. I’d thought we caught nearly all of the illegales. We didn’t, as I drove looking out the window there were an unbelievable number of tracks crossing the pipeline road.

the border is pretty much a separate country, neither Mexico or the U.S. Everything sort of worked out, it was like a gentleman’s agreement. You cross, you get caught, then you try again until one day you make it. Until the

communists threw the gates open to the entire third world. I don’t know that people understand that if you cross the border without going through a U.S. border entry point customs and immigration, you are breaking U.S law. You aren’t a migrant, you aren’t an undocumented immigrant, you are an illegal alien who under U.S. law is supposed to be arrested and deported. What mayorkas is doing is illegal under US law and no one seems to care.

In terms of your questions there was no need at the time for a militia response, now that’s changed. I only know about a small part of the border in New Mexico. And I haven’t been there since 2016. There is nothing good about 20 or thirty (or more) million illegal aliens in the U.S. The net cost of illegals is in the hundreds of millions yearly I believe. Not to mention they are an army essentially waiting to be trained and deployed. Anyone who thinks millions of illegal aliens who have no knowledge of American customs, history and traditions and in many cases hate America is a good idea is a traitor to America.

wilson, You are a principled man with integrity. Perhaps that does make you a Mad Dog with 20/20 vision of what is going on today.

Thanks for that. But I can only say I try to have principles and integrity.

Wilson, At least you try. So do I. Sometimes I am in no-win situations. I can't be in two places at once. The toughest choices are about which loved one to help.

I've seen interviews of the former Border Patrol Agent on Redacted with Clayton Morris. He tells horrifying stories of what is happening at the border and down in Panama where the camps are located for illegals from all over the world. From the camps, the aliens are put on buses headed north. NGOs and our tax money pays for most of it. Soros throws in a few bucks and perhaps a few other billionaires. Maybe even the Chinese government pays for the Chinese immigrant camp.

Without affirmation, I've read FEMA is the laundromat for NGO funding - altho Soros types are certainly players.
