Border Patrol Takes a Rare Step in Shutting Down Inland Checkpoints

ALBUQUERQUE — The Border Patrol is taking the unusual step of shutting down its checkpoints across New Mexico and a swath of West Texas as officials scramble to respond to a surge in families requesting asylum along the Southwest border.

A spokesman for the Border Patrol said in a statement that the temporary measure was intended “to process and ensure appropriate care for those in custody.” The closing of checkpoints up to 100 miles inland from the border reflects the strain on border operations as the number of migrants entering the country, which in February reached an 11-year high, continues to climb.

The article goes on to say that most immigrants seeking asylum surrender themselves at the border.  The checkpoints are where they find drugs.

More not winning.  We need to take care of migrants so we can't concentrate on stopping drugs.

The "checkpoints" never caught anybody that I know of.  I've driven through them hundreds of times.  They should be redeployed to the actual border.
