FAIR Legislative Update October 31, 2011
While Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano touts the U.S. border as being more secure than ever, the Department is quietly ordering Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to scale back border inspections. In a news report out of Texas last week, current and former CBP agents are saying the standard daily presence and routine checks normally conducted by CBP officers at transportation hubs are a thing of the past. (KRGV (http://www.krgv.com/news/local/story/Expert-Says-Border-Patrol-Changed-Search-Tactics/xb7PR7LWvEuYz1qwdqfegQ.cspx), Oct. 25, 2011) According to the Associated Press, field offices nationwide began receiving secret orders to scale back the inspections soon after Secretary Napolitano announced the administration would begin to grant administrative amnesty to illegal aliens in deportation proceedings. (Associated Press (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_BORDER_TRANSPORTATION_CHECKS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-10-29-00-32-58), Oct. 29, 2011)
The routine bus, train, and airport checks typically involve agents manning transportation hubs within 100 miles of the border (often the northern border) and questioning individuals when warranted. Border agents now report that instead of conducting random checks, or checks based on suspicious behavior, agents have been ordered to only conduct checks based on actual intelligence indicating a threat. (Id.) One agent told the Associated Press that “instead of checking buses or trains, agents have spent shifts sitting in their vehicles gazing out at Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, where few illegal immigrants cross.” (Id.)

So let me get this straight, since there isn't a problem we don't need border patrol and if there is no border patrol then we can't see the problem therefore there is no problem.
Time for heads to start marching to the guillotine, after all they aren't being used.
