Yet the rest of the border

is wide open.......

It is a good thing that the Customs and Border Patrol is doing their job. In fact, I applaud their vigilance.

But really, when 5 10 20 miles away, tens of thousands (or more) of people enter the country with no oversight every year, are they really doing anything useful besides asserting their authority?

Apparently, the USCBP were professional and polite, but maybe if they left their comfy border crossing they would find other things to interest them.

But it is probably safer to stick to checking out old men rather than people crossing illegally.
