Today, Vincent Vargas is an actor, producer and writer, best known for his role in the hit TV series Mayans M.C. But several years ago Vincent Vargas was patrolling our southern border as a proud member of U.S. Border Patrol – one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the United States. The grandson of an undocumented immigrant himself, Vince discusses the myriad challenges agents face as they deal with coyotes, people in distress, drug dealers, and heaps of criticism. The main problem, according to Vince, is misunderstanding. In this episode and in his new book Borderline: Defending the Homefront, he helps shed light on the realities that both Border Patrol agents and those seeking entry to the US face every day. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

One of the most hotly contested issues of our time - the US-Mexico border - stretches more than 2,000 miles. It's protection is led by a thin-line of overworked and underfunded US Border Patrol agents. Vincent Vargas, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the US Army's 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, later served with the Border Patrol. His new book, BORDERLINE: Defending the Homefront, which publishes November 14, 2023, provides a thorough insiders look at just how dangerous defending the border is.

In this episode, we welcome Vincent “Rocco” Vargas to the show. He is a retired US Army Ranger (2nd Battalion of the 75 Ranger Regiment) and former Federal Agent with the Department of Homeland Security. He is also an entrepreneur, actor, writer, producer, and speaker. He is most known for his depiction of the character Gilly Lopez on the show Mayans M.C. (an offshoot of Sons of Anarchy). Additionally, he is the author of the new book Borderline: Defending the Home Front. This book details his time spent protecting the southern border of the United States as a member of the US Border Patrol. In this interview, we discuss why he was interested in becoming an Army Ranger, the long process of becoming a border patrol agent, the day-to-day tasks that border patrol agents perform, why Americans struggle to differentiate between border security and immigration, whether or not the US should build a wall across the entire border, whether or not we should consider militarizing our southern border, what it was like for a hispanic man to work keeping other hispanics from entering the US, what should be done about the “Dreamers”, what it was like transitioning from the Border Patrol to acting, and much more.

One of the most hotly contested issues of our time - the US-Mexico border - stretches more than 2,000 miles. It's protection is led by a thin-line of overworked and underfunded US Border Patrol agents. Vincent Vargas, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the US Army's 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, later served with the Border Patrol. His new book, BORDERLINE: Defending the Homefront, which publishes November 14, 2023, provides a thorough insiders look at just how dangerous defending the border is. Vargas, who was one of the stars of the FX TV series, Mayans, hits on some key issues about the border situation including: *Border Patrol has more agents of Latino/Hispanic heritage than any other race, debunking the myth that all BP agents are racist *DC law makers don't know the challenges on a day to day basis for BP agents nor do they have the boots-on-the-ground experience *The border is two issues simultaneously: immigration AND homeland security *Dealing with dangerous water rescues as well as violent drug traffickers and human trafficking coyotes *He has great empathy for those making the dangerous journey to try to get to America for a better life as his own grandmother came to the US as a young girl as an undocumented immigrant *He is straightforward about the BP mission - sympathy aside there is a job to do to protect the border and the security of America *He points out the overlooked US policy to assist in helping immigrants to become US citizens legally *Vargas notes that it is the US's job to educate and facilitate safe and legal entry for those wanting to come to America for a better life

Vargas talked to Len Berman and Michael Riedel about his time guarding the southern border of the United States.

Father, Veteran, Mentor, and U.S Border Patrol Advocate. In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus is honored to host Vince "Rocco" Vargas, a multi-talented individual with a rich background in military service that spans three combat deployments with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, a decade of service with the U.S. Border Patrol, and his current roles as an entrepreneur, author, actor, writer, and producer. His unique perspective as a military veteran and federal agent sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the issues at the U.S./Mexico border. Vince is also an author, and his book, "Borderline: Defending the Home Front," serves as both a memoir and a critical examination of the U.S. Border Patrol. The narrative combines personal experiences with the extensive history of the organization, shedding light on a frequently misunderstood government agency. Vince paints a comprehensive picture of the challenges faced by those tasked with securing the U.S. borders. Sponsors:   - GoodRX.com/TNQ   - vincentroccovargas.com "BORDERLINE" By Vince Vargas out Nov. 14th Photo Cred:   - IMDb In this episode you will hear: • To apply for the Border Patrol is a 2-year process. Once you get in, it still takes two years to become a journeyman. After testing and field training, you're eligible for the programs that the Border Patrol has. (9:52) • Bortac is the tactical unit of the border Patrol. They are the swat team of the Border Patrol. (10:47) Borstar are the para rescue jumpers of the Border Patrol - search trauma rescue medics. (10:58) • It's incredible to see how overwhelmed they [Border Patrol] are at the moment. The morale of the Border Patrol is pretty low. (16:04) • Too many people want to blame the Border Patrol for everything. In our immigration system, the Border Patrol's only job is to apprehend any individuals crossing the border illegally. (16:50) • In this book, "Borderline: Defending the Home Front,” I tell my story as a Border Patrol agent in detail to humanize the badge. These are Americans who have chosen to defend our nation on our own soil. (18:04) • So you have 20,000 people coming across saying “Political Asylum.” Then we take them in and investigate that. There's no system in place that can house that many individuals. There's no system to hold them for the time being till they determine who's actually a political asylum case and who's not. (21:19) • So we have to host all these individuals, find a way to feed the, give them medical attention, and hold them as if they're seeking asylum until we can determine if it's real or not. (22:56) • I'm not against immigration, but the part of what's in place now is immigration policy and we have to protect our nation, but we also have to be a nation that is gracious towards immigration. (22:24) • To see the number of murderers, rapists, and pedophiles that we actually catch – it's pretty intimidating to think to think of how many we actually miss. Seeking asylum means that they have critical fear for their life. It's a blanket statement to help people come across illegally, and right now it's working. It shouldn't be.  (30:17) • [Melanie] Kids under the age of 13, by our policy, are not allowed to be fingerprinted or DNA, which to me is legalizing human trafficking. (31:37) • There's been a massive influx in the Del Rio Sector. Close to 11, 000 have come across in the past ten days (37:01) • If I can be here to do the righteous thing for our country, for my God and for my family, I hope to teach them [my children] in the same sense.

Borderline: Defending the Home Front by Vincent Vargas https://amzn.to/3FccY7R An inside look at the U.S./Mexican border through the eyes of former U.S. Border Patrol agent, Vincent Vargas, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment. Featuring a Foreword by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jocko Willink. The U.S./Mexican border stretches nearly 2,000 miles and is protected by a thin line of overworked and underfunded U.S. Border Patrol Agents, who risk their lives every day. Stigmatized in the media and fought over in the halls of Washington D.C., this is the true story of what is really happening on the U.S./Mexican border. Borderline provides an inside look through the eyes of former U.S. Border Patrol agent, Vincent Vargas, who is no stranger to violence, having served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment. The story begins on the battlefields of the Middle East and culminates on the southwest border of the United States, where Vargas was tasked with protecting his country, his fellow agents, and the immigrants caught in the middle. He learned firsthand about the unforgiving brutality of the cartels, human traffickers and the desert. After bearing witness to the carnage, Vargas made the decision to join the Border Patrol's elite search & rescue unit called BORSTAR. With almost unfettered access, Vargas provides an in-depth, never-before-seen look into the U.S. Border Patrol, from the agency's origins to its present-day missions.
