Robert Evans: 我将讨论美国边境巡逻队的历史，揭示其根深蒂固的种族主义、暴力和不公正行为。从其成立之初，边境巡逻队就与种族主义和暴力行为密切相关，其目标是保护白人至上主义，而不是执行法律或保护边境。边境巡逻队对墨西哥移民的暴力行为，包括殴打、枪击和绞死，以及对儿童的虐待，都得到了充分的记录。边境巡逻队与德克萨斯州的农场主之间存在冲突，因为农场主依赖墨西哥移民的劳动力，而边境巡逻队则致力于驱逐他们。边境巡逻队还参与了对中美洲国家的死亡小队的训练，导致了这些国家的大规模屠杀和政治压迫。边境巡逻队的不作为和腐败行为，包括性侵犯、贩卖人口和与毒品走私的勾结，也得到了充分的记录。边境巡逻队缺乏问责制，其暴力行为很少受到惩罚。
Caitlin Durante: 我同意Robert Evans对美国边境巡逻队历史的评估。边境巡逻队的行为是不可接受的，必须对其进行改革，以确保其行为符合人权和法律。

Deep Dive
This chapter explores the historical evolution of the U.S. Border Patrol, highlighting its origins in racist immigration laws, its early history marked by violence and abuse, and the factors that contributed to its growth and transformation over time. The role of racism and the commodification of migrant labor are central themes.
- The Border Patrol was established in 1924 following the passage of the racist Immigration Act.
- Early Border Patrol agents were often poorly trained and prone to violence against Mexican immigrants.
- The agency's mission shifted from protecting the border to protecting whiteness.
- The Border Patrol's early history is intertwined with the violent conquest of the Southwest and the displacement of indigenous people.
- The agency's actions have included mass deportations, often targeting U.S. citizens of Mexican descent.
