CBP Rescues Aliens from Smugglers
And other pictures you don't usually see
By Andrew R. Arthur on July 12, 2018
The administration's "zero-tolerance" policy is intended to reduce the flow of aliens, and in particular unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and family units, entering illegally across the Southwest border. While this is an end in itself, it in turn serves two significant purposes: First, to reduce the strain put on Border Patrol resources when agents are pulled off of the line to process aliens who have entered illegally. Second, to discourage aliens from placing their lives, safety, and dignity in the hands of alien smugglers.
The first purpose should be obvious. While there has been a significant increase in the last 20 years in the number of Border Patrol agents deployed along the border, the border is long, and even those increased resources are limited.
