Awake Goy The U.S. Border Patrol has an immensely difficult job to do. They are tasked with stopping the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs across our, still wall-less, southern border with Mexico. Not only must the Border Patrol contend with well-armed “coyotes,” chequadores, and cuidanderos who carry out and assist in the smuggling, human and otherwise, but they must also deal with irksome federal bureaucracies, which stand in the way of their efforts.
The Border Patrol’s efforts to keep America safe are being hindered by bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency, the Interior Department, and the Forest Service. Efforts to fill in the tunnels that the “coyotes” use to smuggle people and drugs into the United States are being stalled by environmental impact studies, funding delays, and finding suitable subcontractors.
“I heard first-hand accounts from our Border Patrol agents that environmental red-tape is hindering their ability to secure the border,” Representative Bob Bishop (R-Utah) told Fox News recently.
Border Patrol agents have long complained about the bureaucratic nonsense entailed in doing their jobs. With the Interior and Forest Departments controlling a vast swath of land on the southern border, the Border Patrol is greeted with red tape whenever they try to patrol these lands. And the Coyotes know exactly where agents cannot patrol or monitor.
“There is no doubt that the restrictions on accessing land along the border have made it more difficult for the Border Patrol to do their job,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in 2014. “It seems a commonsense reform to say that the Border Patrol should be able to fully access and patrol the border.”
