Were you and are you now there on the border amihow?
IS anyone there actually reporting directly to you?
Do you oversee anything whatsoever going on at the border?
Do you attend any of the meetings of our military?
Are you engaged with any of the officials on either side of the border?
I suspect you’re taking ALL you clues from the media.
Like many people who live and/or work across the border Ihave almost a century and a half cross border family history. Runs from Texas to the Pacific.
Many do international business dealings. Many in CBP. Two family members involved in three shooting incidents over the decades. Many have been. Victims of criminal aliens.
Long time border residents consist of one huge family with the very best of Mexican and American culture. It is found no where else that I know of and beautiful.
But illegal immigration affects them first and for much longer. Unless they get radicalized by the media and schools they are the greatest supporters of border security and control of immigration.
People who do not know the border's culture, geography and daily reality know more than the media.
Hope that is educational.
