A blast from the past regarding previous border control promises

I am a wholehearted Bush supporter, mind you. But the last time we were promised more border security in the form of increased law enforcement by the president, you can read below what we recieved.

From the Houston Chronicle, Feb 9th 2005.
Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents / President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force: "Washington -- The law signed by President Bush less than two months ago to add thousands of border patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border has crashed into the reality of Bush's austere federal budget proposal, officials said Tuesday.

Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California, along which thousands of people cross into the United States illegally every year."

**********
But Bush's proposed budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents. more

I hope and pray I'm wrong, but that certainly doesn't bode well for the future when one considers what we heard last night. And if the senate does the mexican hat dance as the president tried to do last night, they can count on this happening in November I'm afraid. (a stream that has already started it appears to me)...
