"We're very vulnerable," he said on state of anonymity. "It's only a matter of time before somebody actually gets shot, or something bad actually happens."
When asked if he felt his life was being put at risk by the current administration's policies at the border, he said "absolutely. You never know who is crossing. You never know who is going to cross. Under Trump, it seemed like it was a lot more controlled. The border flowed a lot easier. The numbers spoke for themselves, and now it's kind of like, you know, everybody is allowed to come in."

He described how the cartels use extreme measures to "intimidate and scare" border agents.
"Here in the valley," he said, "you're going to see a lot of drug flow and a lot of violence from the cartel to try to cover that up. They push large groups of migrants across."

"The way I see it," he continued, "America is probably at its weakest, as weak as it's ever been in a long time right now. We're very vulnerable, and I feel like it's only a matter of time before somebody actually gets shot or something bad happens. And for the administration to realize, 'hey, maybe we do need to do something here,' versus under Trump, he didn't take those chances."

Despite this, he said, it is the children left at the border that haunt him.
"Probably for me being shot at, and the dead bodies, that doesn't hold much weight, but when I see the kids—I think that's what has mentally been draining me."
