eh, im not gonna comment on the bush bashing, because i dont care to get in a rep v dem debate, however, i have first hand experience with this as a good friend of mine just was hired on full time at Naco in Arizona, one of the busiest border crossings and areas in the country. Second only to Nogales/Douglas which is 30 miles west of there.
According to him, Border partol in that area is growing exponentially, there have been over 200 new hires and trainees within the past year. When he went to the academy for Border Patrol, there was an 8 month waiting list to get in.
Budgets this and reforms that. Bottom line, at least in Arizona (and i believe california) the number of border partol agents is increasing, the percentage of illegals caught, is diminishing, and at least when it comes to the mexican border, we are going in the right direction.
