Obama Administration to Close Nine
Border Patrol Stations
Townhall – Katie Pavlick –

Just one month after President Obama
signed a back
door amnesty executive order for hundreds of thousands of young illegal
aliens, his administration is now planning to shut down nine Border Patrol
stations, something the people living in border states, Border Patrol agents,
local Sheriffs and some Congressman
are up in arms about.
Critics of the move warn the
closures will undercut efforts to intercept drug and human traffickers in
well-traveled corridors north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Though the affected
stations are scattered throughout northern and central Texas, and three other
states, the coverage areas still see plenty of illegal immigrant activity -- one
soon-to-be-shuttered station in Amarillo, Texas, is right in the middle of the
I-40 corridor; another in Riverside, Calif., is outside Los
Angeles.
So what's the reason for the move?
Homeland Security says it is to reallocate resources to other hot spots but
illegal immigration, along with drug and human trafficking, are like water and
they flow where the openings
are.
