GAO report says Obama administration not allowing Border Patrol to do their job

I've posted on this before (Feds feud while land is overrun, 'Green' red tape said to hinder Border Patrol, Border Patrol Projects Caught Up for Months in Red Tape, Government Study Shows) but the GAO report is still making news. This is from yesterday's Washington Examiner.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report claiming that the Interior Department and the Agriculture Department have prevented about 15 percent of the 26 Border Patrol stations in the American southwest from apprehending illegal aliens and drug smugglers. Before Border Patrol agents can build roads or set up surveillance posts on at least half of the land along the U.S./Mexican border, they must first apply for permission from the Interior Department and the Forest Service. Before permission is granted (if it is), the land management agencies conduct environmental studies which take several months. Of course, all the while…both drug and human smugglers operate basically unimpeded...
