Border patrol agents ordered away from the border because it is too dangerous

  This news is several days old, so first let me apologize for not getting to it sooner.

  One Arizona sheriff–Larry Dever–has now admitted that the situation at the Arizona/Mexican border has deteriorated to the point where it is now too dangerous for the border patrol agents, and because of this several counties in Arizona are refusing to deploy agents to the border.

And you frankly have Border Patrolmen–and I know this from talking to Border Patrol agents—who will not allow their agents to work on the border because it is too dangerous,” Dever told CNSNews.com in a videotaped interview. “Now what kind of message is that for crying out loud?

  He does not blame the border patrol agents for this decision, claiming that they still want to do the jobs that they signed up to do, but rather he is blaming management for being unwilling to commit to the job that they are supposed to be doing.

Now, I am telling you, the agents, you give them a mission, you tell them what you want them to do, they will go do it,” said Dever. “I mean, these guys for the most part are warriors, they are soldiers.
 
“Then you have middle management and upper management that says: No, it’s too dangerous right there and we’re going to cause an international incident if there’s shooting across the line, back and forth”

  Customs and Border Protection is defending their position not to engage the illegal invasion:

There are areas down there in the Tucson Sector where for officer safety reasons, officers aren’t up on the line. For whatever reason–it may be a remote area

  Such is the current situation on the border and in the office designated to stop the illegal influx of “migrant workers” into this country. Arizona has been pleading with the federal government for help in securing their border but that request has been ignored. So Arizona took the next step and decided to pass an immigration law that would better protect the citizens of that state, and what did they get in return?

  The federal government has decided to sue the state of Arizona for infringing on the jurisdiction of the federal government and a judge has stayed the Arizona law until the matter has been settled in court, thusly handcuffing Arizona.

  And now we learn that management in charge of border security is unwilling to let agents patrol the border in some areas because the situation has worsened to the point where they feel it is too dangerous.

  The federal government is unwilling to do their job, the Customs and Border Protection Agency is unwilling to do their job, and violence is escalating in the absence of leadership on this issue. The lone entity that was willing to provide leadership–Arizona–has been stopped from doing the job that both of the above mentioned entities are unwilling to do.

  Meanwhile, Americans who live on the border are still being subjected to the dangerous situation that the Customs and Border Protection Agency has deemed to volatile too send their agents into. Something has to be done here, this situation cannot be allowed to continue. Who is going to help these people? Americans are in danger and nobody is willing to take a stand.

  Knowing where Barack Obama stands on this issue, one is left to wonder if he had anything to do with the Customs and Border Protection Agency’s decision to remove some agents from the front lines.
