Our Border Patrol is charged with trying to stop that flood of
illegal immigrants and they’ve been given a sieve in order to do so. How would you
like to risk your life to detain someone at the border? When you take them in, the Bureau
of Immigration and Customs Enforcement asks them where they were going. You say Los
Angeles, then BICE says here’s a letter that you need to take to the federal
courthouse in Los Angeles on such and such a date for your deportment hearing -- and
here’s a bus ticket to Los Angeles.
We give them a bus ticket! We pay for a bus ticket for an illegal alien
that has just come into the country. You know they’re not going to show up in court;
they never do. But why the Hell would we be buying a bus ticket to a destination in the
United States for an illegal alien? There’s a lot of frustration on the part of the
Border Patrol.
Incursions" are incidents where members of the Mexican military have crossed
the border into the United States without our permission or knowledge. There have
been over 200 in the last five years. When they get to be identified as incursions
its after they’ve gone through a whole bureaucratic process that makes sure it
wasn’t just some guy who wandered across the border by accident, that it was in fact
members of the Mexican military purposefully entered the U.S. without our permission.
Some of the incursions have resulted in shots being exchanged. In one incident not too
long ago, a border patrol agent came along and saw a Mexican military
vehicle with a number of military personnel around it. He called it in and they told him
to get out of there as soon as possible, you’re outgunned. He turned his vehicle
around and was shot at as he left the scene. The reason we’ve had
these incursions is because the Mexican military is actually supporting drug running. They
provide protection for some of the larger shipments of drugs into the U.S. Sometimes they
protect the shipments themselves, other times they just cross the border to draw border
patrol to them and away from the shipments |
