So here’s a little nugget the left REALLY hates talking about:
Something you won’t hear much about: 52 percent of Border Patrol agents are Hispanic. But sure, continue your Nazi narrative.

GASP! Is it TRUE?! But…but…but…
I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL A BUNCH OF WHITE SUPREMACIST NAZIS WHO HATE “BROWN PEOPLE” ?!?!?!?!
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) public affairs office told The Daily Caller News Foundation that about 51 percent of Border Patrol agents were Hispanic or Latino at the end of FY 2016. About 50 percent of all Border Patrol staff, not just agents, were Hispanic or Latino.
The percentage of Hispanic agents was about the same nearly a decade ago. The Houston Chronicle reported in 2008 that 52 percent of Border Patrol agents were Hispanic.
The Border Patrol has a much higher percentage of Hispanic and Latino agents than the general population. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that about 18 percent of the population was Hispanic or Latino in 2017.
The agency also has a higher proportion of Hispanic and Latino staff than some other law enforcement agencies. A Bureau of Justice Statistics report on local police department personnel across the U.S. found that 11.6 percent of police officers were Hispanic or Latino in 2013. The Dallas News reported that about 7 percent of Secret Service agents were Hispanic in 2014.
Hispanics made up 8.5 percent of the entire federal workforce in FY 2015, according to a report from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. The Department of Homeland Security, which includes the Border Patrol, had the highest percentage of Hispanic staff at 21.6 percent.
CBP said in March that it employed 19,437 Border Patrol agents. Agents are required to already speak or learn Spanish.
The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal crossings led to an increase in the number of migrant families separated when parents were detained. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to reduce the number of family separations.
Of course, the left is already screaming about how these POOOOR Border Patrol agents are being “forced” to do something they don’t want to do.
These people are forced to do a job that I’m sure is gut wrenching for them to do. Side note, Africans assisted in the capturing and selling of other Africans during slavery, so what’s your point exactly?

Wow.
The left is really FANTASTIC at removing all agency from “people of color” aren’t they?
Has this dude stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, these people are defending the borders of their nation because they WANT TO? Because they think it’s the RIGHT thing to do? No, of course not. The evil white man is “forcing” them to do this.
I JUST wrote about how and why I oppose illegal immigration. I too, am Hispanic. But SURELY Mock and Daisy are just “forcing” me to write about it, right?
Does the left not realize that assuming no “person of color” could possibly think for themselves is the EPITOME of racism!?
And that African slave trade “point?”
Uhh… you can’t be serious, dude.
Yes, Africans assisted in the capturing and selling of other Africans during slavery. In fact, certain tribes became GLORIOUSLY WEALTHY from it. I took a summer course about it in Ghana a few years back. They weren’t “forced” into anything. Africans captured other Africans and marched them straight into slaving ships. They knew exactly what they were doing… Which is (yet another reason) it’s ridiculous that white people exclusively get “blamed” for slavery.
So um, what is THIS GUY’S point, exactly?
These people are so BEYOND delusional, they don’t even realize the garbage they’re spewing does absolutely nothing to prove a point. They just spit some crap out and fist-bump each other over it.
Typical.
