Border Patrol Scaling Back
Along the northern border at least, the U.S. Border Patrol is scaling back some of their more controversial methods. For now they'll no longer be routinely searching buses, trains and airports for illegal immigrants.
The union that represents Border Patrol agents will be issuing a press release saying:
"Orders have been sent out from Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, D.C., to Border Patrol sectors nationwide that checks of transportation hubs and systems located away from the southwest border of the United States will only be conducted if there is intelligence indicating a threat."

Can we throw the BP pukes a going away party yet?
Interesting to listen to the Wa Agricultural Dept head last night saying that there is a shortage of agricultural workers now, and said the cause was increased border/immigration enforcement.
He said the farmers, desperate to get their crops picked, are running ads for workers. He said that out of work Americans show up, but do not return after one day of field work.
So, we see election year rhetoric about illegals taking jobs from Americans face the reality in the fields, as crops go un-picked.
Article describes operations away from border crossings and US ports of entry.
A couple of DHS agencies were involved in the recent local heroin bust.
Did the heroin cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca?
Did the heroin cross the US border 1500 miles south of Port Angeles?
Interesting that Post 911 efforts to keep terrorists from visiting the homeland are still unable to keep illegal drugs out.
