Thursday • September 11,11 Texas Border Patrol recruits new officer McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol has sworn in 55 new re cruits for use in a controversial oper ation against illegal crossings dubbed “Operation Rio Grande.” But it will be five more months be fore the recruits start work. That’s how long it will take them to com plete training in Spanish, immigra tion law and other subjects at the Border Patrol academy in Charleston, S.C. The recruits boost to 756 the number of agents stationed in the McAllen sector of die Border Patrol, which guards 282 miles of river from Brownsville west to Roma. That’s a 42 percent increase in staff from the pre vious year, officials said. The agents will provide reinforce ment for Operation Rio Grande, an initiative placing more agents direct ly on the banks of the Rio Grande to stop illegal immigration. The operation began last month all along the Texas border, but it is concentrated in Brownsville, where agents are stationed almost shoulder- to-shoulder along a 2 1/2-mile sec tion of river just south of downtown. Now in its third week, the initia tive has halted illegal cross along that section of river. B numbers have decreased slightly elsewhere along the Grande, officials said.
