Illegal Immigrants in the Border Patrol

I want to know how this guy got hired.



There is no way they should be working the border until the FBI background check is completed. Some Department of Homeland Security.



Why was he even hired before the background check was complete? I know it's standard practice but that doesn't make it intelligent, only convenient.



I can only wait until the this conversation is reported:



"Okay, John"



"Please sir, call me Mohammed"



"Interesting nickname you've got Mohammed, but whatever you say. Wouldn't want you to feel unwelcome. Anyway, now that you're working for the department of Homeland Security, you'll want to know what your days off are. I see here it says you're Jewish, so you're going to want Saturday off whenever we can give it to you?"



"Actually, sir, I prefer Fridays."



"Okay, sure if you need that day. Now this is your partner Patrick McDougal. He likes us to call him Abdul for some reason."



"Actually, sir, we already met. We took flight training together."



"Wow, that's great. No wonder they hired you two guys. If anything happens to the flight crew, you can take over and fly the airplane, right?"



"Yes, sir! That's actually kind of a dream of mine."



"Well, you're going to have to understand why I kind of hope it doesn't happen. Now get down to the armory and draw your weapons. We've got something special for you on your first day, a Delta 777 non-stop to Washington National. Make sure you visit the Capitol while you're there. Because you work for us, you can get right in, no problem."



"Thank you, sir. We'll make a point of it."



"And don't worry about that FBI check. I'm sure it'll come back fine!"



"We're not concerned with that, sir. Far as we're concerned, we're in paradise already."









I mean, I know neither party's heart is in it, but can't they at least pretend to care?
