Why Bother
It makes zero sense to even have a border patrol if these policies continue. You pick up an illegal immigrant, process them, house and feed them, then let them go free with papers to travel anywhere in the U.S.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol recently confirmed such anecdotal evidence to be part of a larger strategy to focus resources away from individuals “posing no threat to national security.”
