Will people really leave the US this time? Will there be an increase in suicides? Will alcohol and drug consumption soar?

"Members of a secret Facebook group for current and former Border Patrol agents joked about the deaths of migrants, discussed throwing burritos at Latino members of Congress visiting a detention facility in Texas on Monday and posted a vulgar illustration depicting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant, according to screenshots of their postings."
"The posts about Escobar and Ocasio-Cortez are vile and sexist, said a staffer for Escobar. Furthermore, the comments made by Border Patrol agents towards immigrants, especially those that have lost their lives, are disgusting and show a complete disregard for human life and dignity.
"Vicki Gaubeca, director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition, said the postings are more evidence of the sexism and misogyny that has long plagued the Border Patrol. Thats why theyre the worst at recruiting women, said Gaubeca, whose group works to reform the agency. They have the lowest percentage of female agents or officers of any federal law enforcement agency.
