Border patrol agents have been inundated with an influx of illegal border crossings. The report cites U.S. Border Patrol agents who monitor the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that crosses into southern Texas. Chris Cabrera, a McAllen-based Border Patrol agent and local spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council, nonetheless defended the border wall in an interview with Texas Monthly and said that the structure at least slows down undocumented immigrants and gives Border Patrol agents more time to apprehend them. He pledged to build a wall spanning 1,000 miles funded by Mexico. Scott Nicol, an activist and artist, has traveled along the Southern Border of the United States looking for ladders used by illegal immigrants to scale the border wall, Texas Monthly reported Wednesday.
