The US/Mexico border is +/-2000 miles long. Much of it is practically unpassable by humans... There more than 16,000 agents working the US/Mexico border. That's at least 8 agents per mile of border. Although, I would assume most of them are concentrated at ports-of-entry and trouble spots. With such a concentration of agents, plus barriers, plus surveillance measures, I'm having difficulty understanding why this is such a difficult problem. Is this actually a security crisis, or is it mostly political BS? I'm sure this will change no minds. It's just some thoughts to ponder. And an interesting website.
Many Border agents actually do patrol the border.

Of course some do, but sometimes they get pulled.
PHOENIX (AP) " So many migrants are crossing from Mexico into the United States around remote Lukeville, Arizona, that U.S. officials say they will close the port of entry there so that the operations officials who watch over vehicle and pedestrian traffic going both ways can help Border Patrol agents arrest and process the new arrivals.

Then the migrants stream across the "closed border" because no one is manning the entry.
If you had ever been to south Texas, you'd know that and see them.

Eagle Pass is in Texas, right?
We talk about there being no border patrol agents on patrol because they're all processing migrants, but in all seriousness, this email to agents in Eagle Pass last night shows not one agent is on patrol!
