The U.S. Border Patrol is HIRING!

Of the 16,200 U.S. Border Patrol agents only 1 percent are black (150 men, 8 women). We didn't know these jobs existed before? So if you know Spanish or don’t mind learning Spanish (I think this is required for southern border positions. I could be incorrect.), and relocation if required this sounds like a good opportunity for someone looking for a change and stable employment with good benefits.

In addition, after a few years an agent can make about $70,000 a year and a high school diploma is required. If I wasn’t looking for a job, I would seriously consider jumping on this opportunity and look for work in New Hampshire, Vermont, or New York state.

Please pass their website information around to people you know or print out the contact information and spread the word about these U.S. Department of Homeland Security positions. U.S. Border Patrol Careers Info

According to The New York Times:

“The Border Patrol says it has no quota for recruiting blacks, but it says it wants their ranks to be more reflective of the civilian workforce, where they number 11 percent. Hispanics make up the bulk of the agents, 52 percent, a reflection of the agency’s concentration on the heavily Latino Southwestern border. All agents must serve in the Southwest before seeking posts elsewhere, like on the Canadian border.” READ MORE...
