On our second day we caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure disappearing down the back of a mountain inside the U.S. border; it was a cartel “scout.” The “scouts” operate on the mountains and monitor the movement of the Border Patrol and let the smugglers know when it is safe to bring across drugs and human cargo. Keep in my mind they operate in the mountains on U.S. soil as far as 100 miles inside our border.
Sasabe is in the Tucson Sector, which extends 262 miles from the New Mexico border in the east to the Yuma (Arizona) County line in the west. The Border Patrol apprehended 87,915 illegal aliens in fiscal year 2014 in this sector. In the same fiscal year, 479,371 illegal aliens were apprehended across the whole 1,954-mile length of the Southwest Border.
So, how many get through? Chris Cabrera, vice president of National Border Patrol Council #3307, estimates in a recent video that only 30 percent of illegal aliens coming across the border are apprehended.
I asked him, in exasperation: “Why the hell aren’t we stopping everyone coming across the border?”
His answer: “We are waging a war with a shift mentality.”
He was referring to the fact that the cartels operate 24/7 while the Border Patrol, with shift changes, have gaps in their coverage. Border Patrol agents are further hampered by the Obama administration’s “open border” policy, such as the acceptance of the tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children last year; the suspension of the Secure Communities program in November 2014, the use of “prosecutorial discretion,” and the sharp decline in Interior Deportations from 236,000 in 2009 to 102,000 in 2014.
The drug cartels are well financed, crafty and “they have better intelligence,” according to Sgt. Randy Merrell of the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office in New Mexico.

"Despite Border Patrol’s best efforts, our border is still wide open"
"It’s a cat-and-mouse game, and the mouse is still winning."

It's ridiculous to say "war"
War this, war that, surrounded by war, everything is war.
And yet as he says, in shifts, and the opponent shoots at will while he cannot shoot at all, rather must arrest and run through bogus recycling process.
Secure borders or open borders. It's one or the other. There is no in-between here and saying so otherwise is jackassery.
So make the decision and stick with it.
And if secure borders then shoot the spotters on sight and apologize for any mistakes later. That would be the level of seriousness where the term "war" would be appropriate. Border guard, you hold a very silly job. Politics has made it so. Find a new job and stop this talk about war.
Or else if you're seriously war minded individual with strong feeling on the subject and a whole lot of energy then use the political chaos created purposefully to make your job ridiculous to wage war privately using government means to their fullest. As Democrats do every single day at every single level of government throughout the land in every single government department, the attitude of government as YOUR bully being exactly that pervasive, from the operator who opens up Joe the Plumber's private information all through departments and agencies all the way through the IRS. It's what government is for. It's why you are authorized a gun. Do as the Clintons do, use your government position to parlay your party's advancement and your own personal wealth, have your daughter out there talking about how money means nothing to her, she just doesn't think about it, and raise your own private army as they have. They've shown you the way. If you say "war" then start shooting, get others in party and media to help you and isolate yourself from criticism, destroy what government property you must to keep your war going, or else stop saying that word, "war."
Border guard, do you see how you must be willing to rape and to kill in order to use government to its absolute fullest?
Rape: Let's look at Bill Clinton's victims through the years.
Kill: Let's look at Hillary Clinton's victims through the years.
Imagine for a moment if Condoleezza Rice had approved 162 billion dollars in arms sales to countries that contributed millions to the Rice Foundation.
That's what you must be willing to do, Mr. Border Guard, or else you are not up to the task, not up to the level of conflict that a real live woman is to waging actual war.
It's not the Border Patrol that's the issue.
It's the Commie ignoramus that makes them look the other way.
