(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Texas have been ordered to speed up national security checks at one of the nation's busiest ports of entry to keep travel between the United States and Mexico flowing, the Washington Times reported. An Aug. 16 memo from the Customs and Border Patrol's El Paso field office directs agents to limit inspections of vehicle and pedestrian border crossers as wait times escalate. The document, obtained by The Washington Times, sets new guidelines that border inspectors say undermine efforts to prevent terrorists and other criminals from entering the United States.
