    who knew that allowing them to wear ski masks and round up defenseless immigrants and violate their civil rights would encourage such a surge in applications?

    what do you think encouraged this sudden rise in applications? J6 pardons?

    with their new legal protection and champion in the WH, do you think that maybe some proud boys might be rushing to sign up to go crack some immigrant heads?

    after standing by, standing up, being pardoned, and now they stand up again...

    Quarterly numbers confirm highest U.S. Border Patrol applicants in agency history | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    Since President Donald Trump took office, U.S. Border Patrol has seen an unprecedented surge in interest in its mission, making it the most successful four-month recruitment stretch in the agency’s history. It’s not a coincidence that January received the highest number of USBP applicants ever recorded since the agency’s founding.

    From January to April 2025, USBP received 34,650 applications, representing a 44% increase over the same four-month period in 2024. This historic spike in applicants is a direct reflection of the renewed national commitment to border security under the leadership of President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

    “The continued surge in applications speaks volumes about the pride and purpose Americans see in joining the U.S. Border Patrol,” said U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks. “We thank President Trump and Secretary Noem for their leadership and commitment to strengthening our workforce and mission readiness.”

    If you are gonna be a cop, why not join the SS version of being a cop

    Also, my guess is that their hiring standards have plummeted

    Maybe potential border patrol officers watched all the screwing off over the past 4 years and wanted in on it not realizing the border patrol actually does it's job now.

    They see videos like this and what they ‘get’ to do. jumping out of SUV’s, masked, no id, and snatching a young woman off the street.
