Our border agents put their lives on the line daily to thwart criminal activity along our border. The truth of that statement was made obvious over the weekend when persons attempting to illegally enter our country killed one agent and hospitalized another:
Border Patrol Agent Brandon Judd, also president of the NBPC, stated, “What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogilio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking. Our agents’ reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks.”
Agent Judd continued, “The other agent arrived on scene a short time later and was also ambushed and struck in the head with what is believed to have been a rock or rocks. These disgusting acts and complete disregard for human life need to stop immediately. Family members of slain Agent Martinez will never get to see him come home again all because we have failed to secure our borders from such criminals.”
The area they were patrolling is where drug and human trafficking is prolific.
We must and we will BUILD THE WALL! Building a wall in the most dangerous areas along our southern border will help to protect our nation and the border agents who put their lives on the line every single day.
