Or the need for MORE border security…

Sheriff Babeu explains it quite well.

The Hill reported on the details of the 2011 spending cut bill.

House and Senate appropriators revealed details of the 2011 spending-cut deal early Tuesday morning, missing a self-imposed midnight deadline.

The Homeland Security Department sees significant cuts as well: $226 million is cut from the southern border fence at the suggestion of the Obama administration, and the number of Transportation Security Administration workers is capped. FEMA first-responder grants are cut by $786 million.

Each day it becomes more obvious that this administration is not serious about border security or stemming illegal immigration.
