Checkpoints Closed so Border Patrol Can Assist Invasion

The most fundamental duty of the federal government — you might say, its primary reason to exist — is to defend the country from foreign invasion. States can handle most everything else, as they were intended to. When states try to defend the border, the feds forbid it. Then we read this:

The El Paso Border Patrol sector has temporarily closed its system of highway checkpoints as it struggles to cope with a record influx of families crossing the border and requesting asylum. The agents who usually staff the checkpoints will be redeployed to process and transport the asylum seekers, according to multiple sources…

Agents assigned to checkpoints were told they would be sent indefinitely to assist in efforts to process and transport hundreds of families and unaccompanied children crossing the border each day in El Paso, a surge that is overwhelming available resources.

That is, they are pulled off the job of defending the border, having been reassigned to the polar opposite task of assisting an invasion.

“It’s really out of control. It’s bad,” [a Border Patrol] official said.

The government could get the crisis under control by declaring an end to asylum, a concept that has been exploited to the point of becoming a gaping hole in the country’s hull. This won’t happen, because the federal government as a whole does not support our most basic national interest.

This is how easy it is to invade and colonize a country that does not defend itself:

El Paso Border Patrol officials have said they’ve been taking custody of almost 600 migrants a day [for] the past month, most walking across the Rio Grande in the city limits of El Paso, then walking toward the border fence that lies several hundred feet north of the international boundary, and waiting for Border Patrol agents to take them into custody. Because border detention facilities are past capacity and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has limited ability to hold families in detention, the migrants are processed, given a notice to appear in immigration court, then released to the nonprofit Annunciation House in El Paso while they make travel arrangements to join other family members in the interior of the United States.

If you have paid for a service and do not receive it, you have a right to demand your money back. You certainly could not be expected to continue paying for the service. Yet we still have to pay federal taxes.
