I think Reyes was handed his democrat talking points when he arrived to Congress. At one time he was seen as kind of tough for daring to close the border with his Operation Blockade and he seemed able to stand up to the Mexican government which was highly critical of him over it. Luckily for the region, his Operation Hold the Line is still in place. The only reason Reyes ever went to Congress is because his Hispanic constituents liked it when he closed the border. I don't know anything about his daughter.

You may be right about his affiliation with being Democrat and given talking points. But, he was a U.S. Border Patrol Agent, and as such was pledged to prevent illegals from entering the country. His daughter is involved in a $200 million dollar photo-electronic surveillance system between the U.S. and British Columbia. I saw this on TV and apparently this system is not working, and they're not doing a very good job of apprehending the illegals coming over the borders. She was the only company involved in this program. There were no other bidders.
