Efforts to secure US borders 'have slowed since 9/11'
MSNBC ^ | April 11, 2006 | Christopher Swann

Posted on 04/11/2006 1:15:55 PM PDT by Marine Inspector

The growth in the number of agents patrolling US borders has slowed in the 4½ years since the September 11 terrorist attacks and concerns over illegal immigration override fears of terrorist infiltration in the allocation of border resources, according to a new analysis

And there has been an increase of South Asians transiting SE Asia to go to America illegally via Mexico.

It seems so bizarre that when flying back into the country we have to wait in lines forever to clear customs, when at the same time anyone can wander over the borders in the South. Why even bother?

We currently have approximately 11,500 BP Agents.

When you hire 3,000, you have to take into account for the retirees, the one that quite and the ones that don't make it through the academy.

I guess the President didn't account for those.

"Is the whole damned party filled with "moderates"..."


No but both parties as well as some notable people in the press are in fact members of the CFR.

You can't serve two masters...these quislings chose to sell us out.

So the next time you fly internationally, debark from and return to Mexico. Then just pick up your baggage and sneak across the Rio Grande. Beats the inconvenience of standing in customs lines.

The Unappeasables will love this article and never seek to verify if it's true. Just use it to bash the President.

Seems that there are those who live for this stuf from the MSM. It feeds their insatiable hatred for the President.

And so your logical suggestion is to vote for the Dems.

No, wait, a better suggestion! Let's vote for the Buchananites who don't think there is an al-Qaeda problem in the first place. Brilliant.

Keep trying. You may come up with a legitimate thought.

You've been here how long? A little low on the food chain to be mouthing off like that aren't you? Marine Inspector has backed up his stuff time and time again. Pony up your own sources and lets compare.

If we have 11,500 BP agents .... then we have 2,000 more than we did when President Bush took office.

That is called an "increase", here in conservative land.

President Bush approves the funding, signs the bill...it's up to the department/agency to recruit and hire people to fill out the force to 12,500. Which as per his speech in Arizona in 2005, is programmed to occur this year.

I guess he forget this, too.

"Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents

President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force"

It's all right here.

Oh, so when Bill Clinton never addressed the borders, did not put any extra money into hiring border patrol agents in 8 years when we were having the best years of economic growth, as the left likes to put it, we were not having more illegals crossing our borders to work? Because of course work was plentiful then.

Yet when we having been adding more border patrol agents and technology and trying to watch our back doors since we were attacked on our soil, more illegals have flooded in?

You argument is flawed.

Just because Marine Inspector has been here longer does not mean he has not been a wolf in sheeps clothing amongst you all.

Facts do not bear what you are saying, and newbie is a weak, weak argument. Actually pretty pathetic.
