I gave the article another, closer read and the messages therein are clear.

I don't know what the quality of this wall or fence is, but only a few miles of it have been built so far and already this administration is calling off the increase in BP agents. Hence, to hell with border security.

The next message is that this administration will continue to doggedly push for the amnesty contained in Senate Bill 2611, passed last year and sent to the House, a bill co-authored by Ted Kennedy and John McCain.

Check out the CBP website and their new mission statement: CBP "Twin Goals" - Anti-Terrorism and Facilitating Legitimate Trade and Travel

“For the first time in our nation's history, one agency has the lone responsibility of protecting our borders. As the single, unified border agency, CBP's mission is vitally important to the protection of America and the American people. CBP's priority mission is preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States, while also facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel,” continued Commissioner Bonner.

CBP uses multiple strategies and employs the latest in technology to accomplish its dual goals. CBP's initiatives are designed to protect the homeland from acts of terrorism, and reduce the vulnerability to the threat of terrorists through a multi-level inspection process.

Read it a bit closer. He said that the SECTOR with the fence would not need more BP agents.
