Border Security

FDT has an article on the current state of our border security. It seems that we implemented an initiative to increase border security guards by 6,000 last year by using members of the National Guard. As part of that plan, we are about to reduce that number by 3,000. They were supposed to be replaced with new U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents, but the recruiting has not be enough to do it. FDT suggests keeping the National Guard there until the replacements have been hired and trained.
