        I’ve never been to the border but isn’t there a checkpoint on the roads with spike strips and such? WTH is border patrol if they can’t get a blockage at the border for someone fleeing for 20+ minutes?

      It can get wide open when there’s a multi-county chase and multiple law enforcement agencies are in front of the chase telling everyone to get the hell out of the way.
