BLM targets smugglers on public lands
"Who abandoned these areas to drug smugglers?
That these warning signs are all over the federal lands is a testament to America’s failed border security strategies and the absence of enough Border Patrol agents at the border to stop illegal entry and drug smuggling.
It should also be noted that there is a lot of conflict between the various federal land management agencies and the Border Patrol regarding fence construction, road building, and access to federally managed lands.
On top of that environmentalsists are more interested in protecting critters that live on these federal lands than supporting federal efforts to stop the flow of illegal entrants and drugs through federally managed lands. Thus they have attempted to impede the implementation of border security efforts on federal lands near the border.
So if the drug cartels have free run over federal lands, there are many reasons why this has happened.
One being the Border Patrol isn’t at the border."
