A Texas school district has sent a warning to parents that border patrol agents could be boarding school buses to check the citizenship status of students.

    These tough guys border patrol agents must feel invisible against these harden criminals hiding in school buses.

      If I see a border patrol officer, I’m treating them like absolute shit.

      I once was a bit dismissive/rude to a friend of a cousin when I learned he had just moved to SoCal to work as border patrol. Initially, I thought it would be cool to make a new friend. I legit couldn’t help it. Come to find out a couple years later that he quit because he couldn’t handle the cruelty/racism. I somewhat regret not being a bit more friendly to him, especially considering he was one of the good ones (the ones that leave). If it were today, I’d maybe just be more clear in my reason for being rude. Communication and whatnot

        I’ve seen it while with my wife (from Mexico) crossing into the US (I’m white, from the US).

        In fact, they were going to turn her away from entering the US at a pedestrian crossing because the railing forced us to walk in single file and she was in front of me. It wasn’t until I spoke up and said “she’s my wife and a legal resident” that they even took her seriously.

        On a lighter note, their broken in Spanish is hilarious after spending any length of time in Mexico.

        Save up addresses of people who still have their trump signs out and tell them you saw some Mexicans around there.

        I would too, though. To take a job like that in the first place shows you have a misplaced set of morals.
