"Fewer Agents Projected to Patrol Border"

KRGV.com: The agency [Department of Homeland Security] is budgeting for 300 fewer agents in 2017 than they did for this fiscal year.
Since September, Border Patrol agents have been catching more unaccompanied children and families at the border.
“One, we have people turning themselves in at unprecedented rates. Then we have the people that are always coming in illegally,” National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 Vice President Chris Cabrera said. “Then we have the drug flow that’s coming north and the money that’s going south and guns that are going south. And to cut jobs at a time like this is a recipe for disaster.”
For the 2017 fiscal year, Border Patrol plans to field a little more than 21,000 agents. By its projections, the agency pays $181,000 per year in operational costs for each agent.

All deliberate. Deliberate invasion. Deliberate chaos. It's what a community organizer does.

Lem, have you been on Twitter much?

I'm finding interest has dwindled to nothing. Same with Hot Air.

That's the thing with internet 2.0, it enables talking back. Two way, multi way discussion. Whenever that's interfered with instead of enhanced then it's like internet 1.5 or worse internet 1.0. Dramatic steps backward for mankind.

Much as Mohammed is a dramatic step backward in prophets from Jesus who was an incredibly dramatic step forward.

Two steps forward, one step back. That's all Earth history in a nutshell.

Where nuts and shells are themselves part of back and forth history, I'll bet'cya $10.00.
