The US won't secure a single additional mile of border in 20

The DHS annual performance report lists as the department’s top goal: “Protect our nation from dangerous people.” Under this goal, it lists as one program: “Border security and control between ports of entry.”

In fiscal 2005, for example, it had a goal of putting 150 miles of border “under effective control,” and it achieved 288 miles. In fiscal 2008, it had a goal of putting 674 miles of border “under effective control,” and it achieved 757 miles.


 
But this year, the progress stalled. In fiscal 2009, according to page 24 of the report, the department’s goal is to have 815 miles of border “under effective control.” In fiscal 2010, it says, the goal is also to have 815 miles of border “under effective control.”

In other words, whatever else it does over the next 12 months, the department does not plan to bring a single additional mile of border “under effective control.”

Sure they got Stimulus funds. They bought some Fords. None of those Socialist vehicles for them.

US Border Patrol to Purchase Ford Raptors?

August 9, 2009

By Dan Fritter

Ford’s F-150 Raptor is undeniably awesome. Containing some of the most high-zoot suspension pieces to ever be found under a stock production pickup truck, the beast is capable of rocketing over desert terrain with the best of them, as evidenced by the Ford Racing team’s success at Baja with a stock-based, pre-production entry.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Washington notables broke ground on the future home of the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday, symbolically starting construction on the biggest federal building project in the Washington area since the Pentagon 68 years ago.

Department leaders hope the $3.4 billion consolidation will help the department fulfill its core mission -- protecting the homeland -- in ways big and small.

"It will help us hold meetings," Secretary Janet Napolitano said. "It will help us build that culture of 'One DHS.'"
