I would also like to point out that there are currently 13,000 Border Patrol agents, and increasing their number to 18,000 will be double the number when President Bush came into office.

Nice, but Chertoff has nearly said outright that he didn't want to put these agents on the borders chasing maids or landscapers.

So once again, the Bush administration will betray us, this time with a misdirection play on border agents.

They are already siphoning off border patrol agents for secret service duties...hehehe bet they will really work to protect the President like he has done for them.

duh. al quaeda can sneak into the US under the guise of being a maid or a landscaper. Chertoff has no knowledge of disguises and that aq take latin names before they get here.
