In the three videos below, Border Patrol agent Albert Spratte breaks down the illegal immigrants’ access points on border near McAllen, Texas, revealing how easy it remains to break into America.



Along the banks of the Rio Grande Valley, illegal immigrants navigate tall sugarcane to make it onto American shore. The path is difficult and dangerous for Border Patrol agents to access, says Spratte, and easy for smugglers to direct immigrants onto U.S. soil.



Spratte describes how smugglers transport children and families from one side of the Anzalduas Dam to the other. Once in the U.S., many of them willingly give themselves up. Within the last several months, Spratte says, the Department of Homeland Security has made it more difficult for the news media to access this area. “It’s really restricted the ability of the American press to report what’s going on to the public,” he said.



In a highly visible part of Anzalduas Park in the Rio Grande Valley, Spratte describes how human smugglers use jet skis to transport men, women, and children from parkland on the Mexico side of the river to the Texas side.  “We don’t have a checkpoint at the park,” he said, making it “impossible” to tell whether people arrived illegally.
