Have Border Patrol officers been told to stand down and not arrest as many illegal immigrants in areas where the Minutemen operated in the past few weeks? If so, what purpose is being served and whose interests are served by this breach of duty?
It certainly appears to be a breach of national security - unless you subscribe to a political theory that borders and national interests are insigificant and are subsumed by transnational or supranational interests. The problem with that theory is that it simply isn't how the world works. Nation-states continue to be the primary entity for geopolitical and sociopolitical action. The failure to recognize borders is a threat to the sovreignty of the nations whose borders are being trespassed.
Yet, there are many in Congress, and even in the White House, that are not taking this issue seriously.
