text:  Tom, start by telling us about your involvement in border security. You've basically served at every level from a guy on the border all the way up, haven't you? Oh, yeah. I started in Border Patrol in 1984 as a Border Patrol agent. GS-5 Border Patrol agent, wearing a uniform, patrolling the southern border. And for the next 34 years, I worked my way up the chain. I became the first director of ICE that came up to the ranks. So I think that's my greatest achievement, because of the 20,000 men and women that worked for me.
