Multiple U.S. Customs and Border Protection bases near the Mexico border have “inoperable” security cameras and other serious security gaps, according to a new federal watchdog report.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General found four border posts where agents live and work for a week at a time that have inoperable cameras, which increases their chances of suffering a security breach.
Some posts also have inadequate access controls, and CBP doesn’t conduct consistent security inspections of the facilities.
“If agents cannot perform this task, the FOB (forward operating base) is more vulnerable to a security breach,” the report said.
The CBP bases are located in important — and often dangerous — places along the U.S.-Mexico border, the IG said. The west Arizona desert area where one base is located is “very active in illegal cross border activity involving aliens and narcotics,” CBP officials noted in their official response to the report.
But when IG investigators visited one undisclosed site, the gate was open and, they found, the gate is “repeatedly left open.”

Part of the planned destruction of this country. Can we hold out until January of next year? We will all soon know.
NO but they can make you stop and give them papers 100 miles in land traveling between states...
These orders are straight from Obama.
too many chiefs,not enough indians
This situation is already too far out of control and the sad part about this whole scenario is your leaders already know it. We as a nation are at a critical point of imploding. Drug, gang problems are at epidemic proportions, country is forming racial division and about to explode and we don't want to admit it or put into place measures to ATTEMPT to correct any of it. We're in trouble people wake up
