Then in 1971 when I worked for a police department in western Kansas, we started taking 7 or 8 illegals off the trains daily and returning them to the USIA. I talked with the Deputy District Director in Kansas City once and he told me thats everyone that starts with them or the Border Patrol spends about 3/4th of their career on the southern border of the United States and many quit without ever getting the chance to 'bid' on one of the ones elsewhere like on the Canadian border for instance. You may like high tech gadgets and 4x4's but you will probably spend most of your time trying to stay alive out there, because whether its with the Feds, the State Police or Highway Patrols, or the Sheriff's Offices or the local Police Department's, there is a war going on out there on the street and it's them or us.

spend most of your time trying to stay alive out there, because
whether its with the Feds, the State Police or Highway Patrols, or
the Sheriff’s Offices or the local Police Department’s, there is a war
going on out there on the street and it’s them or us. Nuff Said.
