You mean the border patrol agents who have access to toothpaste and soap? You mean the border patrol agents who get to go home every night? You mean the border patrol agents that get to eat every day, see their kids every day, and shower every day?
Being 'overwhelmed' doesn't excuse being an accessory to inhumane treatment.

"Overwhelmed" means having to deal with a situation that exceeds your resources. When I was stationed at a particular Air Force Base, there was a huge flood in the area and thousands had to evacuate their homes. We opened up buildings on the base to accept evacuees. They were pouring in and we didn't have the resources to provide them with toothbrushes and soap, etc. as they came in. We were basically getting them out of the weather and giving them a place to take refuge. After a while we were able to provide these things, but we didn't have hundreds or thousands of new people coming in every day.
