Since that time, over 2100 Iraqi border control officers have been trained. The training began with basic classroom instruction and progressed to field exercises. The courses taught include border security tactics, human rights, defensive tactics training, weapons training, vehicle searches, as well as basic customs and immigration activities. The Iraqi officials CBP trained are now putting these skills to use at their country’s ports of entry.

Ok .. I'll admit I was a bit off on my thinking with regard to the Border Agents in Iraq

By that link you posted Fatalis .. it sounds like some there sent to TEACH Iraqis to better patrol the borders over there and keep the terrorists from coming in

Do you have a problem teaching Iraqis to help prevent terrorists from Iran and Syria that want to harm OUR soldiers?

Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't have a problem with teaching Iraqis about border control in principle, but since in the bigger picture our own border enforcement is inadequate, there is sort of an irony there when we're diverting CBP agents to Iraq while President Bush is seeking to underfund new BP hiring by 90%.

That is exactly what they are doing.

Not at all.
