“The men and women who work as agents are not border guards. They are Border Patrol Agents. That is what we call ourselves, and we hope that you will honor this....

I think I see part of the problem here. Bruce Jenner calls himself a woman, doesn't make it so.

Fact is the USA needs border guards, most especially along the southern border. The very definition of a nation state includes the defense of its borders. Perhaps the ones that feel dishonored and offended by the term border guard, which is a concise job description, should look to another career as travel agents or somesuch.

As the father of a Border Patrol Agent, one that was twice injured on the job and shot a drug smuggler that tried to kill him, it will be appreciated if you would be more respectful of those on the line and honor them by referring to them by their professional, official, more accurate job title.

*****************

Well we can have both if the title is so meaningful. The Agents can occupy the Check
points along the highways some 50 or so miles inland and the Guards can patrol the
Rio Grande and catch those crossing the river. Whatever the names be they need
enough bodies to do the job.
