Bush Proves He's Soft On Illegals Again
According to USA Today, the 2,000 more Border Patrol agents that Bush signed the bill for will not fit in the budget. Bush will not ask for the extra money to fund these Border Patrol agents, who are a major part of Homeland Security, securing our borders from illegal immigrants, and from possible terrorists, including members of al Qaeda, crossing into America via the Canadian or Mexican borders.
I understand that illegal labor is a part of the economy of the Southwest, but installing a tough "Working Pass" program isn't enough to stop terror. Once that plan is in place (which Bush has not pushed for in Congress yet), tougher Border Patrols are required, to keep the people we don't want in, out. Remote control cameras and such will help, but not if there aren't enough agents to catch the people found by cameras.
