Steve Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've said this for some time. The ONLY way we will properly police the border is if a domestic terrorist event happened and the culprits came across the southern border. Sadly' date=' the cost of lives is what it will probably take. [/quote'] The cost of securing the borders is prohibitively expensive especially now that some illegals and drug traffickers are coming by water. You and I know if there is a real and ongoing domestic terroism threat from south of the border we'd do it. We'd find the money and the resources. The political will isn't there yet. That's all that's missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sure there is. Instead of patrolling a whole State' date=' they can patrol only a 40 foot strip along the border.

Obviously please prove what you said using your 5th grade math. (I like how try to change the subject.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 If you transfer the Border Patrol from patroling the State - lets say 125 miles from the border to 40 feet from the border then you have effectively increased the Border Patrol's presence on the border by 16,500 times. (125 miles * 5280 feet/mile)/40 feet = 16,500 Simple 5th grade math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Field Agents, that is a sit number. By putting them at the border, you have increased their density by 16,500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b] By putting them at the border, you have increased their density by 16,500! huh? If you have 1 agent for every 16,500 square miles and then increased the density to 1 agent per square mile, most people would think that was a fantastic accomplishment.
