Apparently not all illegal aliens are merely here to look for a better life
In a recent post, I detailed how, in a one-week period, Border Patrol agents saved a number of aliens entering illegally from almost certain death (just a few of the 3,854 search-and-rescue missions they have mounted thus far in FY 2020). A Saturday tweet, from McAllen Station Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings, shows that Border Patrol is saving the lives not only of illicit migrants, but likely many Americans, as well:
For those otherwise untutored in firearms, “AK-47” is the common name for the Model 1947 Kalashnikov assault rifle, described by Encyclopedia Britannica as “possibly the most widely used shoulder weapon in the world.” It is likely the most recognizable, too, appearing (among other places) on the flag of Mozambique. Making up an estimated 10 percent of firearms globally, they are the weapon of choice for many around the world.

AMMUNITION SEIZURE:
Early this morning, McAllen Station agents attempted to arrest 3 subjects that illegally crossed the border. As the men fled back to Mexico, they dropped a backpack containing 7 AK-47 magazines and 740 rounds of 7.62 . Photo: Twitter
