My initial thought on hearing about this was that this is being done in preparation for the coming amnesty bill. The Dems will say “What is the problem? We are working very hard to keep the drug dealers out of the U.S. What do you have against these poor undocumented workers who deserve amnesty? Is it because their skin is darker than yours? You must be a crazy racist, xenophobe,” etc.
Theater of the absurd on the border.
