SNIPPET: “WESLACO — Border Patrol announced plans last week to shift agents from the Laredo Sector to the Rio Grande Valley Sector, where they’ll form a dedicated processing team.
The agents have been re-assigned to the Weslaco Station, where they’ll process people apprehended by Border Patrol. That should reduce the strain on local agents, who have struggled with the extensive paperwork required to process so-called “Other Than Mexicans”— an actual category used by Border Patrol on statistical reports.”
SNIPPET: “The number of Other Than Mexicans — most agents simply call them OTMs — has steadily increased during the past decade, especially along the Texas-Mexico border.
“Over the past three years, OTM apprehensions have more than tripled nationwide and have been concentrated along the South Texas border.”
I know how to ACT HISPANIC, I go to a Mexican Restaurant and order a taco and re-fried beans.
