It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure how you do harm. Even before the 9/11 Commission issued its report. the Office of the Inspector General found serious problems with the security of the northern border. In 2000. the Office of the Inspector General found that Border Patrol agents in northern border sectors experienced moremoreorganized criminal activity than agents in the southwestmore organized criminal activity than agents in the southwest. It found that illegal activity in the north was facilitated by the open nature of the border. the unpatrolled waterways. and the vast stretches of wilderness with little enforcement present. It noted that a severe lack of resources prevented the Border Patrol from truly knowing even the extent of the problem. Sound familiar? It should. because nothing has really changed.
