Likely, part of the reason for the low staffing at the border is to demonstrate to the public how badly they need to increase their resources and budgets. Even us with Global Access notice the huge lines. Not to mention the rest of the voting public noticing through the news media. Politicians are then pressured by the public to increase staffing.
When the agency needs a news story, they announce the opening of Ped West. When they need to ask politicians for more money, they close Ped West and reduce staffing at Ped East. Same with the slow downs in the auto lines.

Staffing a border crossing? Immigration agents have more important things to do - like de-lousing unaccompanied minors and cutting border fences.
