Staggering ignorance. Anyone who has been in Toomstone a few hours knows that. The locals are constantly explaining it to the tourists.

This picture shows how it works here in the local area. The south edge of the border monument marks the actual border line. The fence is approximately three feet inside inside this country, allowing repairs without encroaching on Mexican soil. Further, there is a 60-foot public easement for the length of the line here, allowing for the existence of the border road and turn-around points for vehicles. Three feet south of the fence and 57-feet north of the fence.

Here is the e-mail I sent to Representative Sinema:
Dear Representative Sinema,
I just read your press release entitled "Border Patrol, Minutemen Have Double Standard on Immigration".
First off, I'd like to point out that the Minutemen did not travel across the country to stop people from violating 19 U.S.C. Section 1459(a) or (e).
The Minutemen traveled across the country to stop 8 U.S.C. Section 1325 (a), "Improper entry by alien". Mr. Hanity is not an alien, he is a US Citizen. I sincerely hope you understand the difference between the two.
Second, the Border Patrol does not enforce violations under 19 U.S.C. (Customs Duties), they enforce violations of 8 U.S.C. (Aliens and Nationality).
Third, the wording of 19 U.S.C. Section 1459(e) is very clear, "anyone who intentionally enters the United States at a place other than a designated border crossing can be imprisoned for up to one year and fined up to $5,000". As you can see, it clearly states "can be" and not "will be". Just because a person violated the law, does not mean they need to be charged with a crime. Being a politician, you should be very familiar with that.
As an elected representative of United States Citizens, maybe you should be more concerned with our rights then the rights of criminals from another country.
Sincerely,
A local Customs and Border Protection Officer

Should be, not Shall be - maybe we need a law controlling the behavior of our elected representatives? It seems that some are more interested in garnering favor among voting blocks than protecting our country.

By the way, Pat Buchanan pulled this same stunt when he was running for President. This is actually nothing all that new. The lefties freaked out then too.

Nice work and spot on.
One small note, it is my understanding that BP can now enforce 19 U.S.C. Section 1459(e) and other related Customs laws once the required training has been completed.

The BP that are detailed up here from Casa Grande say that they don't think Tucson Sector has started any Customs cross training or at least they have not in Casa Grande.
