Thread: The Treason Continues

Border Patrol to build fencing

The U.S. Border Patrol is asking for volunteers among its agents to help build fences on the U.S.-Mexico border, even as President Bush is withdrawing half the National Guard troops he sent there last year to build fences.


A memo circulated last week to Border Patrol sector chiefs said fence-building efforts on the Southwest border were going to fall short of Mr. Bush's goal of finishing 70 miles in fiscal 2007, which ends Sept. 30, "so the Border Patrol is now going back into the fence-building business."


The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, called on the chiefs to provide lists of agents who "can and have built fences in the past," adding that the agency was looking for welders, equipment operators and "anyone else with construction experience."


"They are moving quickly on this, so your sector's response will be needed back here by noon tomorrow," said the Aug. 6 memo, which asked that the entire Border Patrol be canvassed for agents qualified and able to work on fence construction.


Rich Pierce, executive vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents the agency's 11,000 non-supervisory agents, said that while the Bush administration "on one hand is trying to convince the American public it is serious about immigration enforcement," it has failed to provide the needed funding and manpower.


"Meanwhile, the other hand reduces the National Guard by 50 percent, whose job to build the border fence has hardly started," he said. "Now the Border Patrol agents who were meant to replace the National Guard are pulled from border enforcement and tasked with building the fence.


"The president's game of pretending to enforce our border continues," he said. "He has never been serious about this issue at all."

The function of the Border Patrol is to patrol the borders.

Fence construction should be part of a dedicated national plan and PROFESSIONAL contractors.

And yet the Republicans are scared to pick this issue up and run with it.

They deserve to lose elections.

Too bad that means we get stuck with worse traitors than they are as a result.

I love how you include professional contractors and dedicate national plan all in one sentence. That's pretty rich. What ever happened to the army of engineers. I thought they were down there already.

They never deserved to get elected in the first place

And who are these traitors? Are they the business' and corporations that hire the illegal immigrants in the first place. Please educate me, I haven't the foggiest notion who you are talking about?

It's the Army Corps of Engineers, and they hire civillian contractors to do most jobs, they just do the engineering. The Army Corps of Engineers would be the correct bunch to do the job, it is a critical national defense issue, and thus wholly Constitutional.

The traitors are the Democrats and Republicans in office who refuse to obey their oath of office to defend the Constitution and the American people from all enemies foreign and domestic.

So its not the business' that hire them. It would seem to me that they are the US citizens breaking the law and based on your logic, traitors to this country.
