Border chief says southeast Arizona needs permanent checkpoi
Border chief says southeast Arizona needs permanent checkpoints
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version
WASHINGTON The head of the U-S Border Patrol says his agency is hampered by its inability to put up permanent checkpoints in southeastern Arizona.
David Aguilar told a Senate hearing yesterday that no similar prohibition exists in other border states, but appropriations provisions have required that all checkpoints be temporary and be moved every two weeks in Arizona.
Critics say permanent checkpoints that force everyone off the road disrupt trade and traffic.
But Aguilar says they have proven effective in other states.
Congressman Jim Kolbe is behind the provisions that prevents permanent checkpoints. He says they are ineffective because illegal immigrants can simply sneak around them.
