Increasing Border Security
This is good news.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has begun a "pro-active recruiting campaign" to find and hire 710 new Border Patrol agents by the end of fiscal 2006 -- most of whom will be assigned along the Mexican border.
The Mexican border has always been a problem, and as the recent ambush of 2 Border Patrol agents illustrates, it is getting more dangerous. Where it used to be illegal Mexican workers and drugs, now it's (potential) terrorists and gangbangers. It's become a serious threat to our national security, and should be shut down.
Here's an idea. This would be a great job for all those who supposedly support the war on terror, but who won't join the military because they're against the Iraq war. You know, the ones who like to call war supporters 'chickenhawks'. But they need a neat little catch phrase too.....something like, hmmmm, maybe 'chickenshits'.
'Put up or shut up' works both ways, you know.
