Hiring agents is one thing, pissant. But then, they require extensive training. There is a special school for BP agents; the training is at least one year. I know you want to believe all is well but it is not.
I want to stick to facts, but the problem is those facts get stranger and stranger. The NG has no military duties. They function as engineers and office help. When they do have weapons, they reportedly have no ammo for them.
You mentioned ICE a ways back. There was a report here during the past week that local law enforcement -- perhaps Phoenix area --- stopped vans, trucks, etcetera packed with 15-30 illegals each. Of course, the jumped out, ran, scattered but LE picked up many of them and detained them.
Despite repeated calls to ICE for agents to come and bust the illegals, they were told there was not enough personnel to send, and eventually they had to release the invaders.
Whatever the supposed increase in BP agents that is finally coming about, you are aware that the Homeland Security Bill 2004 called for 10,000 new agents and at the time, the Bush administration cut that back to a few hundred ...
I do NOT think all is well. It has not been all "well" even back in 1982-87 when I lived in Arizona. Back then no one even bothered to try to detain them, best I could tell.
My point is simple.
Bush had NOTHING to do with the BP agents in question, either their screw ups or the prosecution or the jury. ANd the g'damn freaks crawling out from their rocks on this thread show me the left has nuttin on the birchers here.
