Column: How the Border Patrol helped cause the ‘browning’ of America
LA TimesLugging gallon jugs of water, migrants walk along footpaths just north of the Mexico-Arizona border in 2007. A recent Breitbart article — “Report: ‘Mostly’ Single Male Border Crossers Bussed to Louisiana Cities” — inspired comments such as “Their job is to vote communist democrat and rape women” and “They are REPLACING YOU, Louisiana.” Now for the irony: The people who are so concerned about brown men entering this country are arguably the most responsible for the recent demographic shifts. She argues for greater green card access instead, enabling people to “exercise their labor and civil rights.” This year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered more than 441,000 single adult Mexicans at the Southwest border, up 72% from last year. Gil Kerlikowske, former U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner, recalls that before the Secure Fence Act of 2006, many single adult migrants crisscrossed the border. “And then, because enforcement and security wasn’t that strong, they’d return back to Mexico.” Today’s Border Patrol is unrecognizable from the agency of earlier years.
