Obama to Pull Agents Off Mexican Border
Sierra Vista (Arizona) Herald / Review -- September 25
Fewer border agents in south
Bisbee, Az. -- The number of U.S. Border Patrol agents that are deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border will be cut soon, while the amount along the U.S.-Canada border will be expanded, a federal official said. On Thursday, Lloyd Easterling, acting media director for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the planned changes will be implemented in fiscal year 2010, which begins next Thursday. [...]
The Border Patrol has 894 miles of border under "effective control," Easterling said. "We will not relinquish border miles we have taken back as we deploy our resources tactically and soundly."
Glenn Spencer, president of American Border Patrol, a nongovernmental organization, pointed out the Secure Fence Act of 2006 aims to establish "operational control of the border." "Operational control" is defined as "the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband." [...]
Spencer said the "root of the problem" is that Customs and Border Protection does not define "effective control" in terms of stopping illegal immigration.
