A Border Patrol Agent From Liberal North East Hellhole Reveals What Itâs Really Like to Guard Migrant Children
he said, when he landed in McAllen. It was his first time on the border since he was a rookie. Heâd spent most of his career posted in the eastern part of the United States, investigating smuggling organizations rather than intercepting undocumented immigrants. But as huge numbers of Central American migrants came to the Rio Grande Valley, he and hundreds of agents across the country were summoned to help.
In his journal entry, the agent described what he saw when he arrived at the Border Patrol detention center as a âscene from a zombie apocalypse movie.â
His colleagues, he said, wore surgical masks and rubber gloves because there was âsickness and filth everywhere.â And he said the facility âlooked like a walled-off compound where the government had the last safe zone and was taking in refugees fleeing the deadly zombie virus.â
The scene that struck the agent the hardest that first day was the sight of dozens of children being held in cages â an image publicized this year to widespread condemnation. The children seemed about the same age as his 2-year-old son, but thatâs where the similarities ended. âMy kid would have been running laps around that entire building, nonstop,â the agent said. âBut the boys my kidâs age, they were just there. They werenât running or playing, even though they had been pent up all day.â
The agent said he suspected that the kids were lethargic because they hadnât been given enough to eat. He said he wondered, âWhy are things like this?â He said he didnât look for answers because he didnât expect heâd find any. âI decided not to dwell on it, and just do my job.â
He went on that way for weeks, seeing things without dwelling on them. His interactions with individual immigrants, he said, are a blur. He vaguely recalled a government staffer combing lice out of a little girlâs hair; 7- and 8-year-olds pacing in circles and sobbing inconsolably because theyâd been separated from their parents; a teenage mother whoâd swaddled her baby in a filthy sweatshirt that sheâd borrowed from another detainee because sheâd been forced to throw away the clothes she brought.
