Border Control

[blueerica]

I dunno exactly how I feel about this, as I haven't been reading up on this enough, but doesn't adding 2,000 personnel a year over the next five seem like a steep thing to ask? We'd have to entice (ie., advertisements to make working the border seem like an awesome job), hire, train, and pay for those people to be there.

I'm not saying that I don't want more people on the border, because I really do, I just wonder how realistic a goal of 10,000 new hires over five years is, and would be, under any president. It would take a bigger budget to work with, and that component would really piss off a lot of conservatives. Plus, you have to convince 10,000 people that live in those areas that are near the border that they want to do this.

Again, I'm not saying this is how I want things to be, but reasons perhaps why they aren't. And I'm also not saying that I've been reading every little thing about the topic. Just my thoughts.. hehehe..
