“This is about protecting our nation. We've already let terrorists in, drugs. The drug cartels have control of the border, sex trafficking, drug trafficking,” said Monroe. A reporter pointed out his group’s mission was to prevent illegal crossings, yet Christenson had just crossed illegally into Mexico.
“We haven't met anybody that wasn't dropped off by the cartel,” Monroe said, after speaking with some of the migrants. Several children were seen waiting to be picked up by agents. One mother nursed her infant while sitting in the dirt. Back at the border, the razor wire installed by the Border Vets begs a question: Are they breaking the law by building their own wall on federal property?
