Administration Will Cut Border Patrol Deployed on U.S-Mexico Border
CNSNews.com ^ | 09/23/09 | Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) - Even though the Border Patrol now reports that almost 1,300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border is not under effective control, and the Department of Justice says that vast stretches of the border are “easily breached,” and the Government Accountability Office has revealed that three persons “linked to terrorism” and 530 aliens from “special interest countries” were intercepted at Border Patrol checkpoints last year, the administration is nonetheless now planning to decrease the number of Border Patrol agents deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Border Patrol Director of Media Relations Lloyd Easterling confirmed this week--as I first reported in my column yesterday--that his agency is planning for a net decrease of 384 agents on the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2010, which begins on October 1.

A Department of Homeland Security annual performance review updated by the Obama administration on May 7 said the Border Patrol “plans to move several hundred Agents from the Southwest Border to the Northern Border to meet the FY 2010 staffing requirements, with only a small increase in new agents for the Southwest Border in the same year.”

This is absolutely insane.
The sooner we get this communist usurper out of the White House, the better it's going to be for this country.

Yep, those damn Canadians are overrunning us. Or maybe he’s putting them up there to stop the exodus of Americans fed up with his crap. Eh? /s/

Timed to coincide nicely with the drug cartels moving their operations north of the border. What a cluster. Janet Napolitano at work.

Why not just hand them $1000 bills as they come across while we’re at it? Yeah, I know, we already do.

This is a joke, right? I wasted my time out in Tombstone, AZ to secure our borders back in 05, right?

I'm drunk, or the entire world is turned upside-down. Hmmm, think I'll have another beer, because that must be the case.

I’m sure there’s an ACORN voter registration welcoming committee somewhere along the border.

Apparently, America isn’t crumbling fast enough for Obama and his merry men.
I hope he realizes that we have to be healthy enough to attract the parasites he is trying to introduce otherwise, he is going to have to add staff to keep them in. They seem to be fleeing Colorado at a great enough rate as to put the Democrat take over there in some jeopardy.

Okay, let's put this in context.
1. Obama's Justice Department (Holder) is looking to investigate our Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for protecting us since 9/11, while he quashed an investigation about Black Panthers intimidating voters;
2. Obama has done nothing to secure our borders, other than talk about making all the illegal aliens citizens;
3. Obama has bowed to the Saudis who are THE most prolific exporters of terrorism.
4. His Border Security Cabinet post is beyond weak.

So there we have it. Barack Hussein Obama is okay with the next hit on your city. He has his safe zone, as do all US presidents.

Problem is, once that happens and the "community organizer" is voted out of office, your family members and friends and fellow Americans will still be DEAD!

The "community organizer" has no leadership skills, not to mention negotiating skills. We WILL see another major attack on US soil on his watch. Watch!

Janet is going to have very major problems if one terror attack is connected to a border breach!

Hopin’ to get more DhimmiRat voters when he makes them all legal so they can get nationalized health care.

0bama is an amateur. He’s way out of his league and the American people will pay for it in the long run.

Just good strategy for our beloved rulers. With the demoncrat’s 2010 election outlook getting increasingly bleak, they are taking the necessary steps to make sure there are enough new voters to reverse the poll trends
on election day.

After all, it worked for klintoonistas in CA in the 96 elections when about 100,000 illegals were given a group citizenship hug in a single day.

In contrast to the lumps of brainless fecal matter that run the GOP, the demoncrats understand the expression: "Tried and true..."

I find it incredible that the US congress has just allowed Obama to trash the Constitution and trample all over the Congressional branch.

The only thing I can discern is that Obama has assured the democrats that there will never be another honest election in this country and they'd best fall in line behind him and his minions or face the consequences.

There are two posts concerning this: “9 dead in 9 hours” and “over 200 dead in the first 16 days of September”
Look up the links.

Those damn Canucks keep walking across the northern border bringing their corrupt plaid shirt lifestyle with them!

Thanks for the ping GreyFoxx...

I wasn’t quite depressed enough at the general state of the nation today. But with this news, I’m right at the ‘abject despair’ level that is normal.

Great graphic Karl.

Corruption in the BP, and local agribusiness.

Ike cleaned it up.

If some bogus Honduran-style referendum were to take place in the Southwest, and the voters by a slim margin voted for some type of independence, I have no doubt at all that a traitor mole like Obama would bless the results, and say "Adios muchachos, y muy buena suerte."
