Juvenile Illegal Alien Jihad Shows That Fences Work

By Federale

The most important aspect of the Central American Jihad in the Rio Grande Valley is that Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Jorge Bush are the genesis of today’s problem. The failure of the Bush Administration to build the border fence and its collusion with Hutchinson to end funding for the fence directly led to the current influx.

Where U.S.-Mexico Border Fence Is Tall, Border Crossings Fall

In Yuma, Ariz., border patrol agents tout the success of a high triple-and double-layered wall. But such a fence is unlikely to stretch the entire border.

YUMA, ARIZ. — US border patrol agent Michael Bernacke guns his SUV down the wide desert-sand road that lines the US-Mexican border through urban San Luis, Ariz.

To his right stands a steel wall, 20 feet high and reinforced by cement-filled steel piping. To his left another tall fence of steel mesh. Ten yards beyond, a shorter cyclone fence is topped with jagged concertina wire. Visible to the north, through the gauze of fencing are the homes and businesses of this growing Southwest suburbia of 22,000 people.

"This wall works," says Mr. Bernacke. "A lot of people have the misconception that it is a waste of time and money, but the numbers of apprehensions show that it works." The triple-and double-layered fence here in Yuma is the kind of barrier that US lawmakers — and most Americans — imagined when the Secure Fence Act was enacted in 2006.

But that was not to be, Hutchinson and Bush saw to that. Flash forward to 2014 and there is no fence in the Rio Grande Valley, but there are 250,000 illegal aliens from Central America in the United States now because there was no fence.

Border Patrol Has Lots Of Agents — In Wrong Places

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The downcast faces on computer screens are 1,500 miles away at a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas: a 20-year old Honduran woman arrested rafting across the Rio Grande and a 23-year-old man caught under similar circumstances.

Four agents wearing headsets reel through a list of personal questions, spending up to an hour on each adult and even longer on children. On an average day, hundreds of migrants are questioned on camera by agents in San Diego and other stations on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The long-distance interviews — introduced last year in El Paso, Texas, and extended to California — are a response to the dramatic increase of Central Americans crossing the border in Texas that also has flooded immigration facilities with hundreds of women and children. The Border Patrol does not have the staff to process all the immigrants crossing in the Rio Grande Valley, but faraway colleagues have time to spare.

And, besides the fact that it is expensive to transfer Federal employees (the government has to pay all the moving expenses)the important factor is that San Diego Border Patrol Agents don’t have much to do, for two reasons: One, the triple layered border fence works and Two, the Border Patrol prohibits its agents from heading to the Imperial Valley farms or San Diego’s streets to arrest illegal aliens who have settled in those border communities.
One example of the staffing mismatch: the roughly 2,500 agents in the San Diego sector arrested 97 immigrants illegally crossing the border on June 14, according to an internal document reviewed by The Associated Press. On the same day, the roughly 3,200 agents in the Rio Grande Valley made 1,422 arrests …

In San Diego, the video processing is a welcome change of pace. Arrests are at 45-year lows and many agents go entire shifts without finding anyone. Cesar Rodriguez, who joined the Border Patrol in 2010, said eight hours fly by since he gave up his assignment watching a stretch of scrub-covered hills east of San Diego and took on a new assignment to process the immigrants via video.

"If there’s nothing going on, what are you going to do? You're just staring at the fence," Rodriguez said in his new office, whose parking lot offers sweeping views of hillside homes in Tijuana, Mexico.

Even better than the Israeli fence in the Negev, but not as good as the Israeli fence in the West Bank.

Even better:

But had Hutchinson and Bush not been in cahoots with the cultural Marxists and Mexican revanchists, the current crisis would not have happened. Instead of a 72% decline in illegal border crossings, we have an onslaught, a Central American Jihad, a Camp of the Saints in the Rio Grande Valley.
