A Border Patrol Agent From Liberal North East Hellhole Reveals What Itās 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. Heād 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 āscene from a zombie apocalypse movie.ā
His colleagues, he said, wore surgical masks and rubber gloves because there was āsickness and filth everywhere.ā And he said the facility ālooked like a walled-off compound where the government had the last safe zone and was taking in refugees fleeing the deadly zombie virus.ā
The scene that struck the agent the hardest that first day was the sight of dozens of children being held in cages ā an image publicized this year to widespread condemnation. The children seemed about the same age as his 2-year-old son, but thatās where the similarities ended. āMy kid would have been running laps around that entire building, nonstop,ā the agent said. āBut the boys my kidās age, they were just there. They werenāt running or playing, even though they had been pent up all day.ā
The agent said he suspected that the kids were lethargic because they hadnāt been given enough to eat. He said he wondered, āWhy are things like this?ā He said he didnāt look for answers because he didnāt expect heād find any. āI decided not to dwell on it, and just do my job.ā
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 girlās hair; 7- and 8-year-olds pacing in circles and sobbing inconsolably because theyād been separated from their parents; a teenage mother whoād swaddled her baby in a filthy sweatshirt that sheād borrowed from another detainee because sheād been forced to throw away the clothes she brought.
