After 780 days the murder of Border Patrol Agent Javier Vega, Jr. has finally been classified as a line of duty death. His name will be included on the CBP Valor Memorial and we will work to further have his sacrifice recognized. Shawn Moran and Josh Wilson sit down to discuss this development and what it means to Border Patrol agents.

We also recognize the bravery and heroics of two Kingsville Border Patrol agents and Shawn gives an overview of topics discussed at last weekend’s Local Presidents Meeting in San Diego.

The show starts off with an update from Dan Benavidez on the prospects of getting an interview with Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske. This conversation strays into a discussion of Designing Women, Chris’s favorite TV show. After getting back to the topic at hand Dan says he believes the odds are even money that we will get the Commissioner to sit down for an interview.

767 days since the murder of Border Patrol Agent Javier Vega Jr. and still no line of duty death classification by CBP.

A listener writes in to correct some stats on the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk.

The guys then get into a discussion on the lack of leadership in the Border Patrol and how it manifests itself during careers and into retirement.

We also honor Josh Wilson and his K9, Nezmar, who unfortunately had to be euthanized last week. Our thoughts and appreciation go out to Josh during this difficult time.

There is a lot of disappointment that the Vega petition garnered so few signatures.

The topic then turns to a recent MSNBC interview in which Shawn was asked, “Is Mexico really the problem?” What do you think? Leave us a comment with your opinion.

Finally, recent comments by a LA Times reporter about the podcast are discussed.

At the start of the show Shawn Moran welcomes Chris Cabrera back to the studio and they detail some upcoming appearances and interviews. Support Team Green Line in the SanDiegoStairClimb.com by joining us or donating to the cause.

Shawn talks about 1513holsters.com, the newest sponsor of the podcast and radio show. The Green Line holsters just showed up and the boys couldn’t be happier with the quality or low-profile factor. Shawn talks about an encounter he had outside the studio this week.

The majority of the episode is dedicated to Secretary Clinton’s immigration proposals should she be elected President and how they would impact Border Patrol operations. Art and Chris talk about how the RGV and Tucson Sectors would be affected by amnesty or more liberal immigration policies. The big question is: why does she not talk about any type of border enforcement?

We start out the 100th episode thanking all of the people that got us here, especially Thane Gallagher, Christina Ramirez, Julie Ledesma, Mike Baranic, Jason Aldrich, Brandon Judd, Dan Benavidez, all our guests, all our contributors, and all our supporters!

We delve into the Colin Kaepernick Pledge of Allegiance debate and whether any stations do the Pledge at musters. This leads into a discussion about NFL teams relocating and how Tony Romo is supporting Obamacare all by himself.

The boys also discuss whether Goose Island Brewing should be a sponsor due to their Green Line pale ale.

There is then a discussion about whether someone should do a “desk pop” to celebrate the 100th episode.

They talk about some of the businesses that agents have and how to support them, along with all of the civic organizations that agents volunteer for. Art makes sure that the Free Masons are mentioned a few times.

The boys close out the show talking about some San Diego sports teams and why the fans don’t care if they ever win a major championship.

Thanks to everyone for listening and helping us get to 100 shows.
