“Such is the life of Helen Brady. She’s a homeschool kid who lives in Naco near the border between the U.S. and Mexico and is just one of a growing number of kids being raised in the midst of a growing confrontation between U.S. Border Patrol officers and those who come to America illegally.

She’s a member of the Border Patrol Explorers, an organization dedicated to giving teens a chance to serve as sort of a junior Border Patrol agent. They learn to make traffic stops, fire weapons and make arrests. She’s not the only girl, either.”
