CNSNews.com) - Even though the Border Patrol now reports that almost 1,300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border is not under effective control, and the Department of Justice says that vast stretches of the border are “easily breached,” and the Government Accountability Office has revealed that three persons “linked to terrorism” and 530 aliens from “special interest countries” were intercepted at Border Patrol checkpoints last year, the administration is nonetheless now planning to decrease the number of Border Patrol agents deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Border Patrol Director of Media Relations Lloyd Easterling confirmed this week--as I first reported in my column yesterday--that his agency is planning for a net decrease of 384 agents on the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2010, which begins on October 1.

A Department of Homeland Security annual performance review updated by the Obama administration on May 7 said the Border Patrol “plans to move several hundred Agents from the Southwest Border to the Northern Border to meet the FY 2010 staffing requirements, with only a small increase in new agents for the Southwest Border in the same year.”

Easterling said on Tuesday that in fiscal 2009, 17,399 Border Patrol agents have been deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border. In fiscal year 2010, the Border Patrol plans to decrease that by 384 agents, leaving 17,015 deployed along the Mexican frontier. At the same time, the number of Border Patrol agents deployed on the U.S.-Canada border will be increased by 414, from a fiscal 2009 total of 1,798 agents to a fiscal 2010 total of 2312

Obama needs floods of illegals so he can legalize them in time for his next election.

Let them in, give them drivers licenses, Obamacare, and social program benefits, then lead them to the polls on election day

Obama and the Dems need as many people (US citizens or not) to turn out and vote

[Gaffer]

With things looking grim for the dems they have to get votes somewhere.

Surly budgets for everything are going to be cut more or less, what with the recession and all.
And the debate is really about which, if any, departments should be 'ring fenced' and protected from real term cuts.
Atleast that's the debate we are having over here

Exoept for one thing, they're moving the 384 agents to the northern border, not firing them...

Letting illegals in costs up more money that it does to keep them out. Hospitals all over the southwest have closed due to people coming into the Emergency rooms and not paying their bills.

IFY the government, with stimulus money, has added 25,000 employees. They are expanding, not contracting.

Indeed, how odd, there must be some reason

Indeed i concur, prevention better than cure ect ect.

you mean there are holes in our plan to build a 700 mile long fence along our 2100 mile border? Wow!

No, seriously, We're screwing this whole thing into the ground. Yeah, we need secure borders, but obviously, neither party is exactly displaying untold brilliance.

[manu1959]

Clearly neither party cannot display that which they do not possess.

Here is how I see it. Dems want to spend TRILLIONS on Obamacare while not spending the money need to stem the flow of illegals - who contribute greatly to the drain on our healthcare resources

[Mr. P]

Em, em, emmm...Barack Hussein Obama...Em, em, emm.

[PostmodernProphet]

????....we got a "stimulus" package that spent more for several museums than we spend on border security......don't pretend this has anything to do with fiscal concerns.....

Noir, Obama and the Dems HAVE DOUBLED THAT NATIONAL DEBT in a mere 9 months

The annual deficit under Bush was $500 billion - under Obama is is $2 TRILLION

They are spending like drunken liberals. They are cutting things like national defense and security so they can spend more on welfare programs, pork projects, and politacl payoffs to the gropus like ACORN that support them
