Now it all makes sense
Environmental Regulations Leave 800 Miles of Border Unpatrolled
The U.S. Border Patrol is being stymied in its efforts to protect the southern border by federal environmental regulations that leave an 800-mile opening.
The Hill reports that about 40 percent of the U.S. border with Mexico falls under Department of the Interior and Forest Service rules that prohibit the Border Patrol from driving there, creating roads, patrolling, installing surveillance devices, or building infrastructure.
The rules, designed to protect wildlife, also protect illegal immigrants and smugglers

The EPA will next declare illegal immigrants a “protected species”.
