| The border patrol seems to be hiring. Anybody here part in the BP, or know someone who is? What's it like? Dangerous? A good job? |

[b]Es uno trabajo bueno pero necessita habla espanol e vive en Tejas. El hijo de migra.[/b] More_Cowbell, he said, "it's one good job where speaking Spanish is necessary if your live in Texas" and "you need to move" or "are you looking to move" (I think, on the last part). My spanish is a little rusty. Mike |

You actually have to learn Spanish, they send you to classes... If you don't learn it, your fired. This according to someone I know who recently retired from the BP. It doesn't seem like a bad job if you like to be alone in the desert for 8-10hrs and have guns pointed at you by the Mexican military. |

I already know where. I'll be applying, too. [url=http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/workfor/careers/bpcareer/index.htm]The Border Patrol[/url] |
| It's a thankless babysitting/taxi service... You drive around the desert and pick up illegals (they're everywhere), give them water and food and take them back to Mexico... Next day you do it again... Same dummies every day... Only the dummies get caught... If you shoot back, you're on the carpet, if you don't you could be dead... I'd wait til we build "The Southern Wall"... |

Quoted: Maybe you could get a few ranchers in AZ to chip in so you make, say $20/hour, and have them furnish you a 4x4, and you could start your own private border patrol. Seems like some neighbors down here tried that a couple of years ago. Local law enforcement didn't appreciate it much. |
