Border Patrol Checkpoints Shut Down In El Paso Sector Amid Influx Of Asylum Seekers

OAN:

With hundreds of people arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border each day, intense strain has been put on Border Patrol. Over the weekend, the El Paso sector was forced to shut down its checkpoints, so agents could help process asylum applicants.

The Texas Monthly magazine was the first to break the news, revealing agents who usually inspect cargo were reassigned indefinitely. This impacted all checkpoints spanning from New Mexico to the Rio Grande in Texas.

While border apprehensions are down from last year, it comes at a time when the country is grappling with an influx of migration.

  1. How many lies are the Left allowed before we just slam them out of the way to save the country?!
    They won’t stop lying, won’t stop obstructing, won’t stop stealing.

  2. It is time to CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER COMPLETELY. Until the situation can be gotten under control. Since this is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY and these PEOPLE ARE FOREIGN INVADERS this is not an internal police matter. There fore Posse Comitatus does NOT APPLY. Deploy the troops to the mexican side of the border about 20-miles into mexico this will prevent people from jumping across the border and claiming political asylum. 50 to 100,000 for a while all people caught trying to cross the border get shipped to the Aleutian islands and interned just like we do other terrorists. No families will be split up and no fences or cages. just tents a food drop off once a week and Kodiak bears for guards. Have the navy patrol around the island to precludes escapes. A immigration court meets once a year and those not let into the country which should be Zero and returned to the coastal waters of their home country and allowed to test their swimming skills one a 50 mile swim without flotation devices of any kind. For border security have the engineers and seabees of all branches build the border wall it will be a good training exercisehave the navy re-institute the brown water navy on the riogrande and clear a strip 100 yards wide on both sides of the border fence so that any activity would be readily apparent. create a system of listening and observation post armed with M-240 and M-2 machine guns on our side of the border. they should be within sight of each other and mutually supporting. Have air assets on station for air support
