Efforts to secure US borders 'have slowed since 9/11'

[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

Norm I have seen your postings on other sites. You have been called out already nice try.

[Prokopton]

I have read your posts. Please come back when you can discuss a subject with facts and logic-both seem to have escaped you at this time.

In Clinton's last 4 years as President, he grew the BP by 42%.

The way he cut the military and our intelligence gathering abilities...he would have had the cash to do it.

[monkeywrench]

Time to back up your assertions, troll.

[Admin Moderator]

Knock off the personal attacks.

[FerdieMurphy]

You may come up with a legitimate thought.

Insulting me isn't going to make matters any better. I've not intimated either of your two statements made in a sophomoric attempt at humor.

Bugger off you bloody sod.

[holyscroller]

:I beg to differ with you, you are flat out wrong. Either you are misinformed, or just inentionally making up facts.

are you kidding? Do you know who Marine Inspector is?

[NormsRevenge]

Oh is that right.?

Where? I never stray very far from here at all.

Maybe you'd like to post a few of them. Seeing as how you are so knowledgeable of my beliefs, Bring it on.

Gee, I didn't know we were on first name basis..

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

It's Bush. He made a policy decision to depress wages for his buddies by cutting enforcement. It began before 9/11.

Glad to see you on line.
I spoke with an 'former illegal' a Mexican guy who works hard for his money.
Said the Coyotes in Tijuana, as of two weeks ago were having a price war. LA or Phoenix, your choice $1000.
He has a cousin who is a smuggler and he has to cut in everyone, Politicians, police up and down the line to a portion of his fee.
No coyote operates without a 'permission'.

[Marine Inspector]

The open borders mcrowd looks more and more irresponsible every day.

Yes they do.

[Marine Inspector]

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

That's called "appeasement" here on the border.

[dirtboy]

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

Agreed. However, his years of informed posts sure as heck adds a lot more to his stature than your asinine attempt at calling him a kos kid adds to yours.

Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents

He's got a war to fund. We don't need BP agents anyway, as Bush wants to allow all those upstanding illegals in the country.

[jrooney]

You are right. Point taken. I can be a big of enoguh person to admit it.

[Marine Inspector]

Sorry, The BP flourished under the Clinton Administration.

Now, that does not mean Clinton get all the credit, as Congress did most of it, but the fact remains, Clinton never said no to any of the increases like Bush has.

[Marine Inspector]

The way he cut the military and our intelligence gathering abilities...he would have had the cash to do it.

He gutted the Corps. I was there.

[NormsRevenge]

I'm still waiting on the sites you claim I have been called out on. :-\

your spelling sucks, btw.

[Marine Inspector]

He's got a right to his opinion, just like Hilary and Kerry do!

[jrooney]

Actually,

Here is a link to whereas they were mandated by Congress to hire 1000 in 1999 but only hired 200.
