Beyond Border Patrol

$0.25

WRL has long challenged military and police recruitment. Our newest counter-recruitment resource, Beyond Border Patrol: What CBP Recruiters Won’t Tell You, takes on the lies of Border Patrol recruiters – particularly in the borderlands – and debunks them with the realities of the job and the agency’s legacy of abuse. Like military and police recruiters, Border Patrol recruiters target poor people and young people of color in border communities, and promote careers in law enforcement as a stable way of life and a means to “protect” your community.
