President Obama proposes cutting border security in 2011 federal budget

[tyler34]

Possibly indicating what direction the president might lean on comprehensive immigration reform, the Washington Examiner reports that President Obama has proposed cutting U.S. border security as part of his 2011 budget. This includes two specific provisions:
1. Reducing the amount of Border Patrol agents.
2. Cutting funding for a “virtual fence” along the U.S.-Mexico border, which is the technologically-advanced fence armed by several surveillance devices.
Overwhelmingly, Republicans do not see the current immigration reform effort as effective, labeling it as a blanket amnesty bill and as soft on other border-related crimes. With this in mind, the right will likely paint the Democrats as weak on national security with the new cuts.

That is really an excellent idea. Let's get rid of all the border patrol, heck, let's get rid of the military. After all the only bad people in the world are the ones in this country. We are responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened. Heck, Canada and Mexico should be keeping us in this country. Look at all the extra fricking money we would have to give away to deadbeats and degenerates then. Oh, yes, this is just great.

I think I'm indifferent on this one... Do you think Boarder patrol is doing much good at this point? Honestly?
Most of the board patrol checkpoints I've heard about are 100miles inside the boarder...
The illegals that where protesting, are still here... why were they not scooped up and deported right then? They are not worried about getting or keeping them out, they want to figure out how to make them legal and tax them...

My only concern is the individuals that it would put out of work...

As these "new" Americans are given the right to vote, along with all other "rights" BHO will be a shoe-in for 2012.

This is what we need "right"?

It's not what need, but that could be apart of his master plan!


some good points from the article though...

"more money does not equal less illegal immigration and border-related crime"

"it might just depend on how those particular resources are allocated"

"Illegal immigration activity still continues to this day despite increased funding for border patrol under the Bush administration."

"According to the Examiner, the administration will shift their money away from trying to catch illegal immigrants coming across the border of Mexico with California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Instead, funds will go toward Border Enforcement Security Task Forces in non-border cities. These cities include Honolulu Hawaii; San Francisco, California; and Massena, New York. These task forces will seek to prevent illegal drugs from being dispersed by criminal organizations across U.S. borders."

"perhaps it is the role of the federal government to allow the states to have more control over their immigration enforcement."

Just because someone attended a college doesn't mean that they learned anything there, or that they were intelligent in the first place.
It often means that they had the resources to buy a passing grade or were adept at cheating, and not getting caught, to get one.

"While it takes intelligence to earn a degree,
a degree is not required to be intelligent."
