Well isn't this special!

"Mr. Bonner said the FBI used to conduct background investigations on all Border Patrol applicants, but the job has since been turned over to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Currently, he said, some background checks are not being completed until the agents have been in the field for months. "It's a two-minute phone call to verify whether the number (on the birth certificate) matches the name," Mr. Bonner said. "Any rookie who is trained in immigration law could have figured that out." OPM officials in Washington referred inquiries on the background checks to a voice mailbox that was full. A second call was referred to an OPM office in Pennsylvania, where a spokeswoman directed further inquiries to the same voice mailbox."

Not surprising.

If this guy could get HIRED and trained as a border patrolman, why couldn't one of OBL's men have done the same thing ??? And if the charges are correct, this guy could be (have been) a major SECURITY THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES.

Just another security risk, courtesy of Washington, DC.

How about the high level Government officials who "aid illegal aliens" all the time with their pro-illegal policies and non-enforcement of border control.

This guy is small potatoes.

You assume that the border patrol's mission is to stop illegal immigration.

[kellynla]

ya wouldn't be referring to GWB now would ya? LOL

[EagleUSA]

Yes, when I first read that memo, I was screaming at every image of Bush that I saw. I hold HIM AND THE CONGRESS 100% responsible for our policies, and anything that happens to this country because of this "BORDER TREASON"...

[Dolphan]

Well, I wouldn't want to get the boot, so no.

He might not, but I would.

What is the date of this? Just curious.

Charming. Politicized law enforcement, proof positive.

Not much else to say.
