Flutterby™! : Border Patrol lying

Cal Matters: Border Patrol said it targeted known criminals in Kern County. But it had no record on 77 of 78 arrestees

Nationwide there are roughly four times more Border Patrol than ICE agents. In El Centro, there are five Border Patrol agents whose job it is to produce videos.

Their latest project is a series of fictionalized videos portraying migrants crossing the border as menaces with a bloodlust to commit crimes. Bovino shared the first video on social media with the caption: “Any town. Any neighborhood. Any family. When heartless criminals, sex offenders, and human traffickers illegally enter the United States and get away, they prey on our children, the most vulnerable members of our communities.”

We know, of course, that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, statistically are less likely to engage in criminal activity than citizens.
