Author shares stories of his time as a border patrol agent. He says he joined to work outside and try to “understand the border.” Although he doesn’t shy away from the inhumane actions of BP agents, he detaches himself from it sort of like saying “this is what happens and what other agents do BUT NOT ME” 🙃

Disjointed with bouncing between facts/history, Cantù’s personal stories, and his dreams with no transitions or chapter breaks. 

This man worked here for years to uphold the system instead of question or challenge it, which goes to prove that no matter your good intentions you’ll only become part of the unjust system. He had a college degree studying the border but felt like he had to work the field to “better understand it” as if studying it doesn’t already teach you about the inhumane policies that you’ll be enforcing…anyways fuck border patrol
