Border Patrol Tweets
Deb and I toured the Weslaco Border Patrol facility, I wanted to learn more about the border wall initiative. My take away was, “This wall will not stop illegal’s, but it will slow the border crossing activity to a more manageable level.”
Only two out of ten people crossing the border illegally are Mexican, other nationality’s make up the balance. With the help of my nephew and his fiancé’, I’ve since opened a twitter account, and follow Austin Skero, RGV Chief Patrol Agent. The purpose of this post is to filter out administration Tweets (agent promotion’s, school events, etc) , and post the work these front-line people do.
