If you think our Hispanic American Citizens here in the USA don't oppose Illegal Immigration you are either tragically stupid and uninformed or you are just a LIAR.
All 16 patrol districts on the border were recently asked to submit proposals to the White House to mitigate the illegal immigration surge we are having after The Democrats took The House back in the 2018 midterms, and all 16 districts proposed a wall, wall and fencing reinforcements and improvements and strengthening border security with more infrastructure, technology and manpower.
Border Patrol agents back Trump wall, survey finds
Border Patrol agents say they can’t be much clearer: They want more walls along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In a survey conducted by the National Border Patrol Council, the agents’ union, they overwhelmingly supported adding a “wall system” in strategic locations, embracing President Trump’s argument that it will boost their ability to nab or deter would-be illegal immigrants.
Agents also said they need the government to change the “catch and release” policy. They often have to immediately release illegal border crossers they arrest, giving them the chance to disappear into the shadows with the 11 million other illegal immigrants in the U.S.
The findings, shared with The Washington Times, appear to undercut the argument of congressional Democrats, who released a report last month concluding that line agents didn’t support Mr. Trump’s plans for a wall. The report was based on an internal tool used by Homeland Security to evaluate security gaps.
The NBPC’s survey, of more than 600 agents in two of the Border Patrol’s busiest sectors, found just the opposite: A stunning 89 percent of line agents say a “wall system in strategic locations is necessary to securing the border.” Just 7 percent disagreed.
Fact Check: Are Half of All Border Patrol Agents Hispanic?

Pavlich mentioned the proportion of Border Patrol agents after pundits and politicians (Democrats) made Nazi comparisons when criticizing the Trump administration’s separation of families crossing the southern border.
“This is the United States of America. It isn’t Nazi Germany, and there’s a difference,” Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said in an MSNBC interview last week.
Former CIA Director and CNN national security analyst Michael Hayden tweeted a photo on June 16 of the Birkenau death camp at Auschwitz. “Other governments have separated mothers and children,” he said.
Pavlich noted the prevalence of Hispanic Border Patrol agents in response. “Something you won’t hear much about: 52 percent of Border Patrol agents are Hispanic,” she tweeted. “But sure, continue your Nazi narrative.”
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Public Affairs Office told The Daily Caller News Foundation that about 51 percent of Border Patrol agents were Hispanic or Latino at the end of fiscal year 2016. About 50 percent of all Border Patrol staff, not just agents, were Hispanic or Latino.
The percentage of Hispanic agents was about the same nearly a decade ago. The Houston Chronicle reported in 2008 that 52 percent of Border Patrol agents were Hispanic.
The Border Patrol has a much higher percentage of Hispanic and Latino agents than the general population. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that about 18 percent of the population was Hispanic or Latino in 2017.
The agency also has a higher proportion of Hispanic and Latino staff than some other law enforcement agencies. A Bureau of Justice Statistics report on local police department personnel across the U.S. found that 11.6 percent of police officers were Hispanic or Latino in 2013. The Dallas News reported that about 7 percent of Secret Service agents were Hispanic in 2014.
