"Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents

President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force

The law signed by President Bush less than two months ago to add thousands of border patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border has crashed into the reality of Bush's austere federal budget proposal, officials said Tuesday.

Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California, along which thousands of people cross into the United States illegally every year.

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents. "

1. Interesting

It's going to take massive lieing and covering up to keep rabid RWers and business happy.

I heard on a Rush's program the other day, that the Clinton administration averaged 200-300 raids on employers for illegal immigrants per year and the bush administration only had 2 raids last year. They're not totally stupid. They are starting to see what's going on.

2. RW'ers head for the hills when you say punish lawbreakin employers

They don't wanna deal with the DEMAND side of the equation.

3. Think about this

If the rumors are true, he's mobilizing the military to conduct operations in the United States. This could very well be the first step towards martial law.

Bush would not hesitate to abuse his authority by putting the national guard out on the streets to "keep the peace".

This may be the real reason why he decided to have a speech all of a sudden. There may be some really bad juju happening over the next several weeks, and he's laying the groundwork to get the military mobilized here.
