Its been an interesting week in American border non-security. News came out a few days ago that ISIS was running a camp in Mexico just eight miles south of the US, according to Judicial Watch:

Islamic State operating in Mexico just 8 miles from U.S. border: report, Washington Times, April 14, 2015 [. . .] Judicial Watch sources said that coyotes working for the notorious Juarez Cartel are smuggling Islamic State terrorists across the U.S. border between the New Mexico cities of Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, as well as through the porous border between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. [. . .]

Why wouldnt ISIS operate a base in Mexico, given the disinterest in border security decreed by the Obama administration? Next thing, the jihadists will be opening an office on K Street in Washington to lobby Democrats more easily.

More recently, photos have appeared showing drugs and guns being transported north it looks too easy to be called smuggling like they were going from Sacramento to Fresno. The cameras have been placed by the Texas Department of Public Safetys Operation Drawbridge which was responsible for more than 29,300 apprehensions and 88,400 pounds of drugs being seized in 2014.

On Saturday, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson to discuss the border situation:

CARLSON: The video doesnt lie: people seem to move unimpeded across the border with drugs and guns. FITTON: Well thats right and a lot of these folks also help illegal aliens come here and they rely on the distraction of bringing those people up often allow them to do this other activity and they often force these other illegal aliens to carry the drugs for them, but what it exposes is the lack of security on the border. Im glad these cameras are there to demonstrate whats happening. Im sure theres a good law enforcement purpose, but your viewers should know theres really no fence of much significance on the border. They have only 37 miles of the sort of fencing you would understand to prohibit people from crossing. The rest is just vehicle barriers and things that can be stepped over. Its a real crisis on the border its unsecured. We hear about ISIS in Australia, in Kansas and Ohio, but were supposed to pretend that its not in Mexico potentially. . . The drugs, the guns, the national security threat is a real issue there.

Apparently Texas authorities are hoping that embarrassing the feds will force them to become more responsible about protecting the country.
