Homeland Security Orders a Reduction in Border Inspections
FAIR ^

Posted on 11/02/2011 9:42:55 AM PDT by yoe

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, 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, 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.)

The elimination of inspections was immediately apparent to individuals at the border. One manager of a Greyhound Bus Station in New York reported that Border Patrol Agents halted inspections on September 12—the day after the 10th anniversary of September 11.

Obama’s base is getting upset over low dope supply and high dope prices.

So Janetalia is taking steps to increase the supply and get the prices down.
They need to get the illegal-drug-using “community” back on the Obama Plantation before the next election.

Again I ask: Why the devil did W. Bush create DHS in the first place???

We already have the Coast Guard, four armed services, FBI, CIA, NSA, local and state police,...am I missing any alphabet agencies slated to protect Americans and our land?

Maybe it's the same reason he signed the North American Union legislation (without Congressional debate or approval) to essentially eliminate the borders and replace the dollar with the North American currency, the Amero.

They need more votes in about a year, so they have a year to import voters.
