Richard HumphriesABP Board Member on VIP Tour
Naco (ABP) 3/15/03 -- Unexpectedly, American Border Patrol board member Richard Humphries became a part of the official VIP tour of the Naco border area. After a brief meeting at the Copper Queen hotel in Bisbee, Humphries was not only asked to speak at the breakfast meeting, he gave Senator McCain a ride to the Naco Border Patrol station and, later to the Naco Port of Entry where he again addressed the group. Humphries identified himself as a board member of ABP and reminded the audience that Rep. Grijalva had once called people like him "cockroaches." All in all, his comments were friendly and even handed, observers noted. Humphries is a former undercover drug agent and pilot for the state of Arizona., and a former Phantom fighter pilot.
