A Brilliant Exercise in Missing the Point

Sheriff drops plan to have border agents deputized


The idea was to have a BP agent on with Deputies in the Border Crime Unit to help coordinate communication, operations, etc. It makes for a safer environment when agencies already working together can communicate together.

One of the complaints is that people will not report crimes if they think Border Patrol Agents might respond. The Pima County Sheriff's Department already regularly calls Border Patrol when Illegal immigrants are located.

Ah well....what can one do.
