You really thought so, don't you? After all, it is called BORDER patrol. Well, if Rick Perry is right, they are 45 miles INLAND, at least in Texas. Unbelievable! No wonder everybody is walking in. I wonder if Obama knows that.

That is SOP. Border patrol everywhere maintains a presence inland. The famous checkpoint on I5 was miles from the border. They pick places that are difficult to impossible to get around if you are trying to leave the border toward civilization.
They also patrol the border. But I think inland is often much more effective. And they come to you...you don't have to find them .
That is crazy. You mean a 45 miles swath is wide open? No wonder we have what we have. And no, they don't come to us. This is just the recent phenomenon. Before this, they would do everything to evade capture.

It is patrolled and has detection capability and all that. It is also ineffective. So they get more results from a secondary line on the roads remote from the border. They also stake out the bypass routes and pick up those detouring around the regular road blocks. I suspect they try to get far enough away that the illegals cannot mange to walk pass them.
Use to see them all the time outside and around Sierra Vista AZ where my mother lived. 20 or 30 miles from the actual border.
Well, OK but the fact that so many slip through says may be it is not a good idea. My thinking is once you are IN the country you got it made. You'll somehow manage, as 12 millions have shown over the years. Effective border protection keeps people from crossing the line. That's how other counties do it. How many times were Americans captured the moment they went over the border. They did not walk 45 miles in.

I think you don't understand how vast this border is. The border south of Sierra Vista is pretty well blocked against vehicles but not against pedestrians. And the distances are so vast it would be difficult to impossible to keep a fence intact. With heavy equipment you can go over or under or through a fence in short periods of time. You would have to up the border patrol by a factor of five or ten to completely cut it off. And then you would have the problem that they would sit around day after day without anything happening. Then a lightning raid... 30 or 40 people or ton of marijuana across the border and met by trucks on the US side. That area uses a blimp mounted radar to watch the stretch. The blimp is across the street from a motel where a couple of watchers are always staying. The wind comes up....the blimp comes down and people pour over the remote border.

Are you kidding? He is the grand marshaller inviting them in, and censoring the media in the process. Wake up America.

Take Imperial County and the Agricultural district there. Cotton/fruit needs to be picked, not enough workers, they're needed badly. What to do?
Border Patrol sees a group of 50 illegals headed north from Mexicali, looking for work. What to do?
Yup! Turn the other cheek!
Having just read the book Imperial, by William T. Vollman, apparently this happens and has happened and will continue to happen! Lots of corruption in Imperial County, California!

You do realize there's a fence across the entire California border?
Also, the flow across the border has slow since the 08 recession.
