A border station is a roadside checkpoint, not a housing facility, right?

That's all it takes these days, a kiosk, for Obama to strong-arm a community?

Unfortunately, no.

No, it’s a sizeable facility. Border Patrol agents work out of there. They have the means to detain invaders they apprehend in their sector there, at least temporarily.

It’s been more than a few years since I’ve seen it. Chances are it’s been expanded.

The BP’s I remember there, the boots on the ground to resurrect the old term, were good people.

What they call a BP Station here is usually a fairly large building with offices, dorm room type living facilities, kitchen, laundry, etc for employees. Some have cells to hold detained people until they can be transported to regular facilities. Here they also have BP FOBs that are similar but smaller in scale. BP checkpoints are what you are thinking of with the small building and shades set up on roads. I don’t know what they have in CA, but that is what BP has here.
