THE FOLKS THAT WORK THESE JOBS ARE THE EXPERTS!
Border Patrol agents in San Diego agree that they need more people and funding for investigative work.
“It‘s old-school police work,” Shaw says. “That’s where I think our best money is spent.”
Wiretaps and paid informants are among the unit’s most effective tools for uncovering the inner workings of drug-smuggling organizations, he adds.
“You can have all the technology you want and all the infrastructure you want, but if you have nobody to make an arrest when someone comes across illegally, it really doesn’t do you any good because they are going to get right past that technology eventually,” Hernandez says. “And if you have all the agents you want but no technology to help you find them, people are going to get away anyway. We want to try to find the right balance.”
And any wall that is built can’t wall off the bustling border ports.
