A Border Patrol agent who serves in the nation’s busiest human smuggling sector says the unsecured border is not safe.

During a recent interview with Breitbart Border/Cartel Chronicles Editor-in-Chief Brandon Darby, Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol Agent Chris Cabrera, in his capacity as vice-president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3373, responded to a question about safety along the unsecured border areas in South Texas. “My response [to people who say the area is safe] is grab a tent and set up shop for a couple of days — see how safe you are,” Agent Cabrera said.

That's like the celebs that go live with the homeless for 2 or 3 days and claim to know what it's like. These ICE folks live it daily for years. If they say it isn't safe, pretty sure they're right.

He forgot to add: “I double-dog dare you!”

Can’t back down from a double-dog dare.

If the agent’s name was Smith or perhaps Wainwright or even Jones... and BHO was President along with Holder as Attorney General, This would have been a whole different story.

I worked down there in the oil patch.
There were places you just didn’t want to be after dark....and during daylight, situational awareness was absolutely necessary.
It is NOT a safe place to “pitch a tent”, but I can’t think of a better place to stick the news media for a few days....LOL

Put all the liberal media there.

For a week. Better yet, a month.

WITHOUT their security.

Without security, I doubt they’d last a night...or maybe two before they were overrun and/or killed for whatever belongings they might have had with em.

A friend of mine made a good suggestion one time. Just make a two mile wide strip along the border a military training base.

The surviving liberal media (if any) can tell their stories on the air.

I’ll actually watch.

Good idea but it won't work. We all ready have countless bases near the border and they are constantly having to cancel live fire exorcises and training because a bunch of illegals are crossing the range.

Cancel the exercise and immediately address the incoming threat.
