That politics has the BP being used in places much more visible to voters rather than being used to do the job they're intended for which is usually in places more visible to those not eligible to vote.

Border Patrol activities are limited to within 25 miles of the International border. It's not possible to stop all illegal entry into the United States at the border under current conditions.
There's a lot of opposition to border fences and enforcement activities in general, in border towns, El Paso is a good example of that.
In a recent meeting of the present El Paso Mayor and three mayoral candidates, all four agreed that El Paso police should not enforce immigration laws.[/quote]
Maybe we should build a fence around El Paso then and let them deal with the problem that they want. Or put 'em in jail for telling LEO's not to enforce a law. Personally, I think we need a wall like Israel built...that thing is bad ass.
I used to travel to Silver City NM and when we didn't fly direct into the barn in Silver City, we'd fly in to El Paso and drive from there.
Right, but they aren't enforcing immigration laws, they are cooperating with the Federal Agencies that do.
