Thank you, CI, for that link. We can't thank these men and women enough, for what they do on a daily basis for us. Thank you to all of our brave border agents, that put their life on the line every day, to keep America safe.

My brother is in law enforcement in Cali, he says the BP is notorious for being on the take/corrupt.

There's an old saying; "there's always the ten percent".
The Border Patrol has many safeguards and does watch out for bad agents I can assure you.
But by far they are hard working and believe in what they are doing and Americans need to know that and give them our support, they receive way too many complaints and not enough backing.
These guys and gals are out hiking through the brush watching out for catcus and rattlesnakes looking for illegals in temps over 100 degrees and most of the time all they receive are complaints from the public who have no idea of what they do.
I live on the border and I see what these folks do night and day, I have called in a group and by the time I am back outside there is a BP chopper in the air and agents on the ground. Try getting that kind of response from a local PD dept.
These folks risk their lives out there for us, in fact there was an agent who died of heat stroke near where I live last month.
I have the greatest respect for these agents and support them 100 percent.
