(EL PASO TIMES) The U.S. Border Patrol is trying to recruit more women into its agent ranks to help deal with the influx of undocumented women trying to cross the Southwest border.
The Border Patrol on Dec. 1 issued a jobs posting aimed at women only. The application deadline is Wednesday.
“This is the first time we’ve had a job announcement for female agents only,” said Border Patrol Agent Yesenia Leon, a spokeswoman for the agency’s El Paso sector.
