Since you work for CBP you should know that stopping Mexican gerdeners from jumping the border is not the priority mission of VBP, although it may be your personal priority. Their first priority is stopping terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. That means spending more money on activities specfically designed to target terrorists and weapons instead of activities designed to stop gerdeners. As Boner said the other day:

"The FY 2006 budget allows CBP to fulfill its priority mission of preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the U.S., while simultaneously facilitating the flow of people and trade across our borders.

"The FY 2006 budget also provides the necessary resources to ensure that CBP continues to fulfill its traditional missions that include: combating the flow of illegal drugs and other contraband, protecting our agricultural and economic interests from harmful pests and diseases, collecting import duties, and enforcing U.S. trade laws.

" So while you prefer to add more guards to patrol the border and catch more gardeners, the CBP prefers to spend the money targeting terrorists, such as adding more undercover agents in Mexican cities where terrorists would go to contact coyotes.
