Border Patrol Agents Share Grim Video Mocking Migrants With Coldplay Kiss Cam

TOO FAR

The video likened the faces made by a CEO and head of HR caught canoodling to the fear felt by undocumented immigrants.

Two El Paso Border Patrol officials have appeared in what can only be described as a poor attempt at comedy by reusing the infamous Coldplay kiss cam footage to mock undocumented immigrants. “The face you make when Border Patrol walks in and you’re an illegal alien,” reads text on the video. The clip shows two Border Patrol agents superimposed over the concert footage, in which a CEO and his head of HR, both of whom are married to other people, were caught canoodling. The CEO, Andy Byron, dives to hide his face while the head of HR, Kristin Cabot, turns away from the camera and covers her face with her hands. In the Border Patrol skit, the agents appear to look around as if searching for something, or someone, before shrugging their shoulders in resignation.
