You are absolutely right, it is possible to shut down the border. I can shut down parts of the border by myself. We had a five man team shut down 70 miles of I-8 to vehicle bourn smuggling. In addition, they prosecuted 200 smugglers in a year. How many LEO 5 man teams have ever prosecuted 200 criminals? It's even more amazing when you consider how unpolitcally correct the job is. Of course, they were disbanded for their trouble.
Thank you for that post proving it can be done, if there ever was any doubt.
You should be careful
Admitting that is hazardous around here.
Of course.
When I was in Lukeville, our SRI successfully prosecuted 99.9% of his cases in the first year. Suddenly, the AUSA declined all his cases. He later found out that the DD told the USA to stop taking his cases. Why the USA even followed the DD’s sugjestion is beyond me, but he ordered his AUSA’s to cease and desist taking the SRI’s cases.
Success is not what management wants.
Political correctness is the real quagmire... There's political correctness on the right, too...
