"Bush opposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Since 9/11, he's failed to adequately fund our nation's first responders, cutting first responder training grants by nearly half in his 2005 budget.
Bush has failed to secure the nation's ports and borders,
properly screen air and sea cargo, or create a unified terror watch list.
Today, only 5 percent of the cargo coming into the nation's ports is properly screened, most air cargo goes unscreened, and only one border agent is available for patrol per every 5 miles of the U.S. Canadian border. Bush has cut funding for first responder training by nearly half,
cut port security grants by 75 percent, and has plans to cut DHS funding by $1 billion if he is re-elected."
