Border Patrol Wife Shares Southern Border’s Dangers and Chaos: ‘Bad Guys at My Window’

A Mother’s Fight to Keep Her Children Safe on the Border

Alison Anderson of Del Rio, Texas, is a mother who wants what any good mother wants for her three young daughters — to have a safe and healthy childhood. But for Anderson, the wife of a Border Patrol agent, keeping her children safe means always keeping a gun within reach.

Her family lives within walking distance of the Rio Grande on a 20-acre “ranchito” covered in dense brush. It happens to be surrounded by several roads, making it a key strategic location for the types of illegal aliens who want to enter the country completely undetected, likely violent criminals and drug peddlers who’d risk deportation if they came through a port of entry.

In her household, the border crisis isn’t a blip on a news cycle — it’s a reality that governs the family’s day-to-day life. “We’ve had convicted rapists caught on their way to our property,” Anderson lamented. Criminals of all types, including people wanted for manslaughter and aggravated kidnapping of a minor, flocked to their previous property.

“I’m not heading out there without this,” Anderson said, motioning to the revolver in her right hand. “Out there” meant her own backyard, less than four miles from the southern border.

A Constant Danger

The constant danger has rattled her family, particularly her oldest daughter. At only seven years-old, she’s been confronted by the crisis of illegal immigration in ways that most Americans never will. One experience stands out in particular.

Late one night after Anderson’s husband had left for a night shift, she tucked her children into bed. It wasn’t long before her daughter came bolting into the hallway, panicking while she cried “Mommy mommy, there’s bad guys at my window.” Anderson picked up a firearm, stepped outside, and confronted the group.
