At the Calhoun County Republican Club meeting on June 2, 2014, U.S. Border Patrol Agents Eberto Cabello and Jose Hinojosa presented an overview of the border patrol’s role in securing U.S. borders and its resources including unmanned drones that were used in Afghanistan.

They briefed the group on the triple threat of drug smuggling, illegal aliens, violent gangs, and the resulting rise in violence along the Mexican border which is most evident in the state of Texas. http://www.usborderpatrol.com/
