Feds to cut aerial surveillance on the border by 50%
RICK MORAN Texas governor Greg Abbott and Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar have sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security demanding an explanation why the agency is planning to cut back aerial monitoring of the southern border by 50%.
The governor of the second largest state in the union requests additional resources to help with border control, and DHS doesn't even have the common courtesy to acknowledge the request? Our border security is in the very best of hands.
Let me get this straight. We have a new surge of illegal aliens from Central America crossing the border with the addition of Cubans trying to enter the country illegally. And rather than increasing surveillance, DHS wants to cut it by 50%? With a little less than a year left in office, it appears that President Obama wants to allow as many "refugees" as possible to present themselves for entry into the U.S., with all the associated costs and turmoil in towns across America who will be forced to take care of them. The president is very generous with taxpayer funds when it comes to resettling illegal immigrants his policies have encouraged. And even when the policy is reversed, it will take years to repair the damage done to our immigration enforcement efforts. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/02/feds_to_cut_aerial_surveillance_on_the_border_by_50.html |
