But 9-11 changed everything ... NOT! We don't have a credible war on terrorism. Would you fight burglary by leaving your front and back doors open?

I gots news for yah, churchmunch...

9/11 did in fact change everything. Our border patrol has been beefed up, even though there are those here on FR that like to bash the good people of the US Border Patrol, they are a good professional organization and they do a fine job with the resources they have.

The US Coast Guard also does a fine job, as does Customs.

I don;t think folks here bash the Border Patrol but the politicians that tie their hands.

Haven't there been recent changes which give border agents more control?

Not enough, according to those very border patrols.
