Not only do we need to pay them more, we need to build small towns where they can live - sort of like military bases.
I mean... If we can build tent cities to lock up kids... Why can't we build something for Border Patrol agents?
Make the job much more attractive.

I have a buddy who is a border patrol agent and he makes a decent living. The problem is health care. If one of these guys needs any sort of tests done, they will be waiting 6 months or more. BTW, he says we need more agents and we need to spend money on technology, not a wall. A wall doesn't stop the flow of drugs, and a wall is not going stop illegals from getting in. He said he is not concerned about them going over the wall, but they will go under it and they will claim amnesty. Half of all illegals enter the country legally and over stay their welcome. A border wall is not going to stop that.
The odds of being killed by an illegal alien is less then getting bit by a shark. Its less then getting struck by lightning. I mean the odds are so low, some of the shit that has a higher chance are just comical. You have a higher chance of getting killed by your clothes. You have a higher chance of getting killed by a wild animal.
