HAVRE, Mont. The road that leads to the Willow Creek Port of Entry about 40 minutes north of the crown jewel of the Hi-Line offers nothing but the open sky and the seemingly endless plains that lead right to the U.S.-Canadian border.
I asked the Border Patrol agent I was with what was the unique challenge facing the agency in its sector. The vastness, he replied. Looking out the window, one could easily see that was certainly the case. The vastness of the Montana plains is a double-edged sword. Unlike the southern border, which I have become very familiar with, the security infrastructure, like walls and roads, is not there for the Border Patrol agents to take advantage of in the north, making patrolling the area a bit more difficult. That s not to say that agents do not have their fair share of ATVs and dirt bikes, but rough terrain is rough terrain.
