the bush administration decided to beef up our picture all the way that they did
that is this
billions of dollars into aboard officials so they can beef up security
honorable at borders
uh... now while they did that ad they decided that
they were control should also focused on drug arrests as well as undocumented
immigrants
or and as a result of the war on drugs continues on
four-point i'm sure michelly was to focus on cartel violence
on but
instead of that of course we start arresting more and more people for minor
drug offenses
the next idea that we show you is pretty whitey investigates without doing it
original reporting that you guys can't find uh... on you tube dot com slash t y
t investigates ob and in this story are our investigative reporter shoval up
uh... goes to sierra blanca in texas and uh... she discovers what's happening
with these questionable checkpoints let's take a look at the first video
customs and border protection has now become the largest law enforcement
agency in the country
the majority of helpful
activity is gonna be within the first malvern
because that's where
primary focus is
most americans may not know
there's a second line of defense
and network of domestic checkpoints at two hundred miles away from mexico
these internal checkpoints also receiving influx of agents as well as
new here and sniffer dogs
we want to check out a particularly notorious one
sierra blanca in the middle of no where on interstate ten in west texas and
there are more definition
this is where a host of american celebrities have been busted for drugs
snoop dogg
fee on apple
and of course willie nelson will rolling through in his tour bus checkpoints like
this we set out to catch illegal immigrants and major drug traffickers
at the center for investigative reporting has done that instead of
distorted the children point isn't sneering mostly americans
thousands of u_s_ citizens traveling within their own country
so i love this and of course look it's part of our document which is the second
one in the series personals
who took that who took down stockton and we did it with center for rescue
reporting but uh... i love the stories the you fine here so because we weren't
just in the middle of the immigration bill discussion and remember the
republicans
demands so many more billions of dollars being word into border patrol border
patrol
but they're in this case as you see they're not actually controlling the
border there inside the united states
for a while so there's a hundred miles inside the united states
and they're not busting illegal immigrants largely there busting
americans
dentistry
snoop doggy is not an undocumented immigrant meters willie nelson right and
so it becomes a money-making exercise
it definitely does it of course
at the federal government is helping to fund this so as a result at their paid
for the prosecution and and the detention of these u_s_ citizens they
get caught with in relatively small amount of marijuana
on cell as you guys now we think about the huge waste of money and you should
probably focus it you should probably be focusing on money
on something that's more important so few genuinely do care about beating up
border security
this is not really the way to do it
now in sierra blanca it's a tiny town there about five hundred people there
however last year alone it they had jailed over three thousand people
come on man yet what does this have newer border security
this is crazy so of course about money rely on these are two art next part of
it yes all its wants an ex parte actually has to do with budget cuts of
this could be an interesting twisted the story
knitting years checkpoints and it starting to break down
in fact with all the budget cuts in washington it's about to get a lot worse
for the locals
yesterday was a big shocker yolanda despises the county auditor
she's preparing the county's embraced the federal government when she got some
startling news it was a shocker for all of us
all the time set for saying that they had on their hands in great constituency
for this year for twenty thirteen the bureau of justice assistance
well all the way mirrors prosecution false
and moreover
reimburses for the detention fast
and in the southwest for the prosecution problem will be harassing the inmates in
we will not get reimbursed for any of it with you guys saying we're not taking
any more
got more pics illegal
or a m
to stop taking them but at this point we don't know who else to do
we cannot afford to be house and then
and not getting dressed for it
so its devastation for us
who really devastation for the camp
so that's something that concerns are right about the often complain in the
states
the about these unfunded mandates bill government comes in here says do this in
in the beginning of your money in the way to go out so i would get the funding
good luck to you
now in this case there dot on the border delay ok you told us a recipe as near as
earlier as a friend of mine is there
and then they say okay okay im gonna pay for part of a but not for the detention
good luck to you
well i don't like them effort would probably find other people's employed i
got three thousand people ira said
but most how's the book today that frazy
so it's a way of shifts you
she's look at the meeting was about making money press
and then it became might well okay
what would make it
restraints on if i don't get me wrong billions of dollars on the war on drugs
but the real life style right around the view that the guys who doing donations
to the national
politician straight
so that gets funded to like the guys who doing private security
uh... for online america messaggio modified the war on drugs
the billions that follow that with the local american community did screw
you get the bill
yet another outside
what happened to our security forces
anywhere or is it you're not at all this has nothing without legal immigration
and by the way
and know that republicans want to make a big deal republican aggression right now
illegal immigration is at a record low in this country people art
leaving the country because the economy is so bad
less mexicans want to come to the country because they know that there are
many jobs here on so if you do research or find out that uh... illegal
immigration last year was that in that zero you know so many people were
leaving
well if you were coming it but we've already said that train motion we got
those
border checks that are really on the border you gotta keep checking people
and yet if you press the americans excite tell the story one kid there got
arrested and it's a lot of again three thousand stories with you what you want
you don't go either way they lost money in a little plot
now they are taking cells of those at the same jail overnight as so it's a
great documentary i watch the whole thing absolutely we have one other clip
that i couldn't help it show you guys and this is actually and sheriff
uh... who is very supportive of the war on drugs
however i_q_ does a critique of what
the government has done so far the signal others along for summer she have
to ask yourself a question
what's next
hemorrhage
rapist
that would let walked us through
whenever they're around some more
and that's not happening in the drug trade
for forty-some years we fought this war on drugs for forrest seven years we have
lost our most on this
and i don't care what the pilot comments as you were told mama chosen
for reagan terrorism
annual all-star multi-task we are so far behind the curve on this is pathetic and
dan that
and look that right there in a inaction is exactly what happened what drives
we lost our butts off financially hennen the great you know at harvest on the
american people
and it's time to stop this nonsense that you know that i'm going to get a sense
of what's happening on the borders
and how ridiculous is become aneta how it has such
to do with actual border security or controlling our borders at all
