What was that about trusting President Obama in regard to border security.

In realizing the number of undocumented workers in the USA is falling off, the Border Patrol is also realizing far less apprehensions since the first reduction in 2007.

2006 - 1,089,082
2007 - 876,704
2008 - 723,825
2009 - 556.-41
2010 - 463,382
2011 - 340,252
2012 - 364,768
2013 - 420,789

...Charles Schumer of New York (click here) and two other Democrats said the House bill would shrink the Border Patrol by 870 agents and cut $272 million in funds for surveillance systems to monitor the border with Mexico. They said those cuts would cancel gains from a bill adopted last August, with virtually unanimous bipartisan support, that increased border funding by $600 million, adding 1,000 new agents to the Border Patrol.

“This magnitude of reduction is simply dangerous,” wrote Mr. Schumer, who is chairman of the Senate judiciary subcommittee on immigration. Also signing were Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico and Jon Tester of Montana....
