Those interested in the border. Here's the real world.
If you haven't been there you should go. This takes
place ON AMERICAN SOIL. You must imagine what the
ranchers and families live with 24/7 as you read this
and they have no protection. The border patrol is not
there to protect them necessarily unless it is a case
they are working on. Residents very seldom see them
and when they do they are tearing down the dirt roads
to intercept crossers.

I am currently reading a book by Lee Morgan. David ,
I bet you know some of the events and persons he
writes about. He must have retired around 2000.

The name of the book is THE REAPER'S LINE by former
Border Patrol Agent, Special Agent - Customs service.
Lee Morgan II

He discusses his disgust with the Elite in regards to
the weapons they were expected to carry in comparison
to the sophisticated weapons that they were up against
that the criminals had.

He discusses his days in Naco, and Douglas, and
reminds me of the Weeks I had spent in that area the
last several years.

"our duties included patrolling the U.S. Mexican
border and tracking and arresting illegal aliens
discovered crossing the border. I would later learn
that aliens were just the tip of the iceberg down
south on the frontera. Dope smugglers, burglars,
border bandits, homicide suspects, communists, and
violent fugitives from ALL countries and agencies were
a few of the bad guys on the list of violators a
border patrol agent may encounter during his day."

He goes on to discuss a 300 foot long tunnel in
Douglas, corrupt Judges and agents, and all manner of
confrontations he came in contact with, describing
them explicitly. Language is rough, but that is the
way it is there as in the military as well.

I admire and want to thank all Border Patrolmen who
put their lives on the line every day protecting our
country from an element we very seldom come in contact
with. Let us do every thing we can do to free two
agents disgracefully in prison, solitary confinement,
for doing their job because a president who has
turned his head refusing to come to their aid while he
freely struts around eating steak and living in a
mansion.
