I heard McAmnesty declare the “the border is now secure”. This is his prerequisite for granting amnesty next.

Are Our Borders Secure?

Sure - They secure the continual invasion of not only militant Mexicans, but the militant Chinese, and the Middle Eastern America haters.

In my area the border is more secure; however I feel President Bush really was dragged kicking and screaming to do what has been done. Is the border secure? No, because President Bush and other politicians are dragging their feet as much as possible. I would also like to point out that the National Guard in our area has made a difference and they are scheduled to leave soon- even though there is a war across the border.

I don’t give President Bush credit for what has been accomplished on the border issues- I think he has done as little as possible and President Bush did what he did against his will; I give the credit to the Minutemen and others that made sure the word got out about the border so politicians would be forced to act.

Thanks for posting.

The article is a truth error mixture.

There are two Border Patrol Sectors that are nearly shut down. The Del Rio Tx. sector, and the Yuma Az. Sector. The end of catch, and release (Operation Streamline,) was first implemented in the Del Rio Sector, then it was started in the Yuma sector a year, and a half ago, it was implemented in the whole Yuma Sector, a year ago. These two sectors cover about 240 miles of border.

Last November Operation Streamline was implemented in the Laredo Sector, and the first of this year it was implemented in the Tucson Az. Sector. I don't know how it is working in the Laredo Sector, but they are having problems in the Tucson Sector, the holding facilitys fall far short of what is needed for the number of IAs being caught, when there is no room for them, it's back to catch and release. I haven't seen anything indicating that Operation Streamline has been implemented in any other sectors.

In answer to the question, are our borders more secure than they were Jan. 19, 2001? No. Some areas have been fairly well secured, in other areas the flow has been slowed slightly.
