Yes, Pelosi isn't your garden variety liberal -- she's the sort of Leftist extremist whose positions are destroying America. And I question both her patriotism AND her judgment.
Pelosi is a Socialist, to the bone.
"The Clinton Administration increased the Border Patrol from 4,026 to 9,078, an increase of 5,052 agents or 125%. George W. Bush increased the manpower from 9,078 to the 11,800 in his first five years, an increase of 2,722 agents"
This is the type of bullshit that takes place on both sides and restricts positve change.
First of all, many of the "hires" under the Clinton Administration were actually hired during the previous Bush administration but didn't start working until Clinton was president. Second, many of the legitimate "Clinton hires" were forced on his administration by a Republican congress which decided to focus on border security - long before 9/11.
Don't use statistics to distort effort. It doesn't help anyone.
