As a Border Patrol Agent, I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Mr. Barnette and other citizens that are giving up their time to patrol the border. The magnitude of the immigration problem definitely requires civilian help.

Excellent. And do you also acknowledge the news reports that Border Patrol management shifts the duties of its agents when calls come from Mexico to avoid dangerous areas at times and places where drug runs are to take place? (In effect aiding the drug trade.)

As an Army vet, I salute you for the job that you do for our nation. It must be quite frustrating at times. Don't take any of the negative comments about the Border Patrol in here personally - they are all directed at your bureaucrats in DC and not at the actual agents. We also know that there is another agenda that they are operating on at the top levels - and defending our nation isn't one of them.
