The most recent Episode from The Green Line
Episode 155: “Follow the law, whatever” and 350
Don’t you hate it when people act as if the rules do not apply to them?
So do we! What would you do if every day you looked out your window and saw workers loading trucks with drugs? That is what is happening exactly to Border Patrol Agents in Maine. Guess what the Agency told them to do?
You passed the law, how about following it. In 2006 Democratic Senators Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Joseph Biden voted to support what we are asking for today. They just never follow it.
Finally,Art and Chris review border news including rescues and coffins and the meaning of number 350.
The Green Line on the Radio – May 2016
NBPC President Brandon Judd was excited to announce the new format. He stated, “Starting May 15,2016, America is going hear the truth about what is happening on the border. He continued, “The public has demanded border security, and in return they have gotten amnesty, weakened enforcement, resulting in a border region where drug cartels have free reign. The public deserves to know the truth, and who better to tell it to them straight than the border security experts-our agents.”
Judd added, “The NBPC has consistently stood up to the Administration and set the record straight with reporters and members of Congress. We have to lead the charge to inform the public about the flood of unaccompanied minors coming into the Rio Grande Valley, the spike in criminal aliens being arrested, and brought the practice of agents being instructed to release illegals without issuing Notices to Appear to light. We are determined to be an advocate for public safety and our radio program will keep the people informed and engaged.”
KVOI General Manager Doug Martin commented, “There is no bigger issue than the security of our borders, and no greater experts than the men and women of the US Border Patrol. KVOI is excited to provide listeners an agent’s perspective on what needs to be done to keep drugs, criminals, and gangs out of our neighborhoods.”
Host and National Spokesperson Shawn Moran stated, “Agents are America’s voice on the border.” Moran added, “We need the public to be informed and engaged. Current policies have weakened border security and has enabled drug cartels to overrun our cities with their poisons. Heroin grown in Afghanistan, trafficked through Central America and smuggled through Mexico are flooding our communities. Today cities are struggling to cope with the social and public safety challenges resulting in addiction and the violence that follows the drug trade.”
Tune in Starting May 15th, the Green Line podcast will be broadcasting live at 7am PST from 1030 KVOI Tucson, Arizona. Joining the team to give eyewitness reports from the field will be a host of agents including Chris Cabrera, Rio Grande Valley, Art Del Cueto, Tucson Sector and others from all over the country.

Episode154: Sanctuary Cities, Univision and Aunt V
You don’t have to look to hard to find a sanctuary city, but might be surprised to discover who is failing to enforce the law. Here is a hint the acronym starts with a “C” and ends with a “P.”
This week Art and Chris ran into reporters more concerned with criticizing President Trump than the facts. Don’t bother me with the facts; I am a reporter for Univision.
Can the Agency restore public trust with same team of misfits that have been misleading the public for years? Who knows, maybe they can. Heck no notice they changed Aunt V.
Episode 153: 16-Hour Days and Being Deportamus Prime
Everyday seems like a manic Monday lately. The day of this recording, Chris had been doing media interviews since midnight and Art just completed three interviews and had another 8 hours of media related activities ahead of him. The joys of representing the National Border Patrol Council.
The Green Line gets the attention of LA Times reporter Paloma Esquivel.
You had me at shut up. For far too long, border patrol agents have been on their own with no support from the White House. Not anymore. Secretary Kelly tells lawmakers if they don’t like the laws they should change them. Until then, they should shut up and get behind the agents tasked with enforcing them.
A recent Washington Post story on the creation of a deportation force got Chris thinking. What would he do if named the head of this mythical regiment? Let the Deportamus Prime Era begin.
