Thread: Since We Don't Need Border Patrol Any Longer, Send 'em To Iraq!

U.S. border agents recruited for Iraq
Governors protest to Bush as officers lured overseas by six-figure salaries

The State Department is recruiting 120 Border Patrol agents to send to Iraq, prompting sharp criticism from two border-state governors who argue the U.S. needs more help on its own frontier.

In a letter to President Bush, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said the move "makes no sense," the Tucson's Arizona Star reported.

"We should be focused on supporting our nation's security efforts along the Mexican and Canadian border instead of hampering CBP (Customs and Border Protection) by sending our best agents to a war zone in Iraq," the governors wrote.

The Star said DynCorp recruiters will be in Tucson today to offer agents $134,114 for a one-year contract, plus a $25,000 signing bonus.
