Thanks for nothing Carla Provost, first woman Chief of the United States Border Patrol. For some inane reason, Provost issued a memorandum that informed Border Patrol Agents that they had no authority to board a commercial conveyance within 100 miles of the border to check for illegal aliens. Well, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Democrat Attorney General of Washington got a hold of that, and threatened the Big Grey Dog with lawsuits, and Greyhound caved. This is bad and will get worse, but it is also an opportunity to make an example of Greyhound and the Washington AG. Provost is scheduled for retirement, and I don’t know if she has left as of today, but President Trump should fire her for her incompetence....
In a very strange statement, Greyhound said it made the decision to protect it’s customers and employees. Protect them from having law enforcement on their buses?...
This is clearly not true. What appears to be true is that Greyhound wants to take advantage of the illegal alien and of drug smuggler market, and not having Border Patrol Agents on the buses checking for drugs and illegal aliens will increase corporate profits but bring untold damage to the American people.
As
I reported just yesterday, there is no legal basis for Greyhound to keep Border Patrol off its buses and there furthermore no legal basis for the Attorney General of Washington to enforce that rule....
The authority of immigration offices to board any conveyance within 100 miles of the border is well established in law, Title 8 United States Code Section 1357(a)(3):
(3) within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States, to board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle, and within a distance of twenty-five miles from any such external boundary to have access to private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States;
It is time to clean up DHS, getting rid of the Resistance and Deep State saboteurs....
