Washington, D.C. (March 30, 2023) – What do Border Patrol agents do in the field? This week’s guest on Parsing Immigration Policy ([link removed]) , Paul Eberle, explains just that. Eberle is a former Border Patrol agent and author of Look at the Dirt: The Story of Border Patrol Agents Through Their Own Eyes ([link removed]) . His book includes accounts of agents – including himself – from several stations along the southwest border, from the early 1990s to the fall of 2021, when Eberle retired.

Eberle explains his path to becoming an agent, shares stories from his and other Border Patrol agents’ experiences, and provides potential improvements for border enforcement today. Among his suggestions for ways to improve the situation at the border is his opinion that border walls and fences do indeed work. He explains that in addition to deterring illegal crossings altogether, they only allow migrants to cross at points between the barriers, where agents can focus their efforts and more easily apprehend migrants.

In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, host of Parsing Immigration Policy and the Center’s executive director, brings attention to Cesar Chavez’s upcoming birthday this Friday, March 31, which is increasingly being celebrated as National Border Control Day ([link removed]) . The holiday recognizes Chavez’s commitment to border enforcement. As a labor leader, he understood that easy access to cheap labor from Mexico undermined his efforts to improve wages and working conditions for American agricultural workers.
