Canadian border wide open in places (you will never guess why)

Subj: Border Patrol

I have a friend in law enforcement & he goes to Mich., (I think it is), every yr. to teach snow-mobile something or other....well, he came back this year & said the border patrol have been told NOT to stop anyone....Nat'l Sec says if they don't do anything it'll look like Nat'l Sec is working....so they sit on their hands & watch aliens, drug dealers, etc. go across. This is in Mt., Wash. & Idaho. So "who" is coming in?? When I read your BuzzFlash it sure made me think of what he said. Thanks for what you do.....

1. I'm guessing I'm not understanding

the logic described in the note.

Wouldn't arresting "aliens, drug dealers, etc." look like Nat'l Sec was working?

3. think of it the other way round

it is strange.

like the strangness on our other border. they catch so many they have nowhere to put all of them, so let the overflow loose to wait for court dates.

of course we are paying for all this. the gov. employees that do nothing and the employees working their tails off for nought.

we live in insane times.

2. If true, that's monumentally stupid
On the plus side, it should mean an influx of British Columbian weed. I'll look into it.
