There are 200,000 armed agents of the FedGov of various species. And 2000 are NOT available to be transferred to Border Patrol?
=============================
You are aware are you not that the President was so concerned about our border control problem that he temporarily reassigned over 2,000 of our border patrol agents - TO IRAQ!
(Talk about taking care of bidness.)
Anybody transferred to the Border Patrol from another agency would quit.
