Inland is a reactive not proactive unit. With out getting to confusing, all CBSA officers have the authority to operate within Canada. Management just makes certain "positions" that they allow to work inland, then they tell the rest of us that we can't enforce laws inland. It is a way for them to have a bare essentials customs/immigration service and not have to pay for training and equipment for a proper agency. A Border Patrol position would allow CBSA officers to focus on enforcing the law between ports, something the RCMP is supposed to do after it absorbed the Customs Preventative Service in the 1930's, but they are busy doing other things. Bottom line is that Canada's Border Agency should be patrolling the border.
