Bersin: Southern Border is Guatemala Does Romney care? Glenn Spencer -- American Border Patrol -- September 22        Speaking at a reception hosted by the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday evening, Alan Bersin, former Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said the border between the United States and Mexico no longer exists.     This comes as no surprise to those of us who have followed Bersin's career. As head of CBP he once said that having a secure border meant that the public thought it was safe.     To determine if the border was safe, Bersin brought in former NY and LA police chief Bratton. Bratton is the guy who said if people don't like the idea that police in California don't enforce immigration laws they should "leave the state."     When an Arizona rancher told Bersin that a huge stretch of border was unprotected, he called her a liar.     It was people like Bersin who set our border policy, so is it any wonder why people are still flooding across?     The real question is --- Does Mitt Romney care if our very sovereignty is being challenged? All he has to do is search AmericanPatrol.com for names like Bersin, Aguilar and Napolitano and he will have all the facts he needs to understand the threat.  Comment on This Feature     Past Features
