Some migrants, being sent back to Mexico, were handcuffed to cars and made to run alongside them to the border. Patrollers pushed “illegals off cliffs,” a patrol agent told Crewdson, “so it would look like an accident.” Officers in the patrol’s parent agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, traded young Mexican women they caught at the border to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for season tickets, and supplied Mexican prostitutes to U.S. congressmen and judges, paying for them out of funds the service used to compensate informants. Agents also worked closely with Texas agriculturalists, delivering workers to their ranches (including to one owned by Lyndon B. Johnson when he was in the White House), then raiding the ranches just before payday and deporting the workers. “The ranchers got their crops harvested for free, the INS men got fishing and hunting privileges on the ranches, and the Mexicans got nothing,” Crewdson reported.
The Border Patrol Has Been a Cult of Brutality Since 1924: Since its founding, the U.S. Border Patrol has arguably been the most politicized and abusive branch of federal law enforcement. | [archived]
Liberals love saying “this is not genocidal-settler-colony-like” as a derogatory term
“who are you going to believe, the civic fairy tales I was told in school or your lying eyes?”
Seems like a good article to post on it’s own merit
