Apparently, their job is only to stop terrorists from entering the country with weapons. How silly we’ve been, assuming the Border Patrol’s job is to…patrol the border.

Border Patrol agents dont have the responsibility of apprehending illegal immigrants, Carlos X. Carrillo, chief patrol agent for the Laredo sector, said at a town hall meeting Wednesday.”The Border Patrol is not equipped to stop illegal immigrants,” Carrillo said, noting that illegal narcotics are also not on the agents priority list.

“The Border Patrol mission is not to do any of those things,” he emphasized.

The Border Patrols mission is to keep the country safe from terrorist and terrorist weapons, he said. Carrillo added that when and if terrorists come into the country, the agents will be ready.

This sounds like it should becoming from The Onion…or TNR.

Remember, it’s not the the Fort Dix plotters came here across the border, illegally. Oh, wait. Never fret. The Indian nations are willing to welcome illegal aliens to stay with them, to avoid deportation.
