2000?

Have you seen the size of the borders along the north and south? Have you seen the legions of illegals crossing in?

Have you not noticed how the Border Patrol is restrained by it's own bureaucracy from doing its job?

Of course I have, but this was more of an intelligence reform bill than a border security act. And I've long maintained that no country in the world has defensible borders. The USA with huge borders and an unguarded coastline could never do it.

Do you know how many men guard the DMZ in Korea and infiltrators still get through? That border has fences, landmines, cameras and everything else.

That border is 154 miles long.

If I understood the bill correctly, it was 2k USBP agents per year for the next 5 years, or, 10,000 new USBP agents by 2009.
