Alien and drug smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border have spawned a rise in violence against federal, state and local law-enforcement authorities, who say they are outmanned and outgunned.
(snip)
Assaults against Border Patrol agents have more than doubled over the past two years, many by Mexico-based alien and drug gangs more inclined than ever to use violence as a means of ensuring success in the smuggling of people and contraband.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff acknowledges that although the department has begun to make progress against "the criminals and thugs" operating along the U.S.-Mexico border, "we are beginning to see more violence in some border communities and against our Border Patrol agents as these traffickers ... seek to protect their turf.

But many agents think they are viewed as "expendable" by the managers within Homeland Security and the Border Patrol. They say that while the number of agents overall has increased dramatically over the past year, the actual number of line agents has not seen a corresponding jump.

I wonder where the agents came up with the idea, they are expendable?........./s
Maybe from Johnny (Nifong) Sutton and his cronies.

George Bush is the more likely candidate.
Excuse me, their turf? Anyone have el Presidente Jorge on their ping list?

DEAR SUPPORTERS OF ‘ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT & SELF DEPORTATION’ OF ILLEGAL ALIENS,
Rep. Heath Shuler’s SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) got a gigantic boost today toward being the next major improvement in enforcement against illegal immigration.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), representing more than 600,000 small businesses in every state endorsed SAVE’s requirement that every employer run every new hire (and eventually old hires) through the electronic E-Verify system to ensure that illegal aliens don’t get American jobs. It said the bill strikes a “fair balance between increased enforcement and limiting regulatory burdens placed on small business.”
The 752,000-member International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers — as a way to protect American jobs for American workers — endorsed the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement Act (SAVE Act).
The number of bi-partisan congressional co-sponsors of H.R. 4088 has passed 100! (View the list and see if your U.S. Representative is on it. If not, make sure you have sent your faxes and made your phone calls off your Action Buffet corkboard to press your Representative to sign up.)
Although a few bloggers have expressed concern that the SAVE Act of Rep. Shuler (D-N.C.) isn’t tough enough, it now has the official support of virtually all of the most hard-line opponents of illegal immigration in the U.S. House, including Tancredo (R-Colo.), Bilbray (R-Calif.), Barrett (R-S.C.), Hunter (R-Calif.), Culberson (R-Texas), Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), and Goode (R-Va.).
Yeah their military invades our country on a regular basis and this administration does nothing about it.
But if a LEO or a citizen shoots one of the invaders they get railroaded into jail by Bush butt-boy Johnny (Nifong) Sutton or some other scumbag.
If I lived anywhere near our southern border, I would spend ANY spare time I had as a volunteer... be it fence-building, armed patrol, Minuteman, you name it.
It’s about time that the illegal aliens were the ones under seige.
What the hell is the point of having a National Guard? I say we shoot back and kill these tards.
“Alien and drug smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border have spawned a rise in violence against federal, state and local law-enforcement authorities, who say they are outmanned and outgunned.”
We have terrorists at our border... and Bush basically ignores it.
WOT?
SUUUUURRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE.
...the agency’s headquarters soon may be the largest regional office in the entire Border Patrol, “assigned the task of telling the public what a good job we’re doing.”

Jorge Bush. Johnny Sutton. The Mexican Army. Working to keep the border-crossings safe for people willing to do the work you don’t want to do.
imho...it is long past that time....but I vote America begins today.....and what do I hear?....crickets.
“What the hell is the point of having a National Guard?”
They’re strictly for border enforcement of other countries.
Haven’t ya heard?
When a foreign military invades our country, the proper response in to unleash hell on their country. Sending a hostile military force across our border is an act of war.
Working to drive Americans' wages down.
Our government has built just five miles of the 854 miles of double-layer border fence mandated by the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
This outrageous fact begs a question...
Why? If the law mandated a double layer fence covering 854 miles, then how come such little progress has been made?
+ + Border fence funding hoax of 2006 and 2007
Grassfire.org's research staff has blown the lid off a deceptive and convoluted border fence funding sham being perpetrated on the citizens of our nation.
Warning -- reading this report will enrage you. It will infuriate you. Go here to access the full report:

As you will see in this report, Congress and the Administration are pretending to support a real border fence but then working behind the scenes to ensure that the Secure Fence Act is never really implemented.
One serious misstep our military strategists in Iraq took was to fail to secure the borders with Iran and Syria, both of which nations are hostile to our occupation and permitted terrorists to enter Iraq. Had effective intediction taken place, the resistance would have ended sooner. The Administration has an odd blind spot with respect to the need to control borders, whether our own or those of Iraq.
We need to send about 3 heavy divisions into that cesspool and clean it out.
