Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

The hidden truth in the term “factory farm” is that it was, in reality, the farm—i.e., the slaughterhouse—which gave rise to the factory, and not the other way around. www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-ind...
