"Under the GOP plan, the Border Patrol would have free rein to do such things as build roads and offices, put up fences, set up surveillance equipment and sensors, and use aircraft and vehicles to patrol in all national parks, forests and federal land included in the 100-mile zone". I could see an argument with 5 or 10 mile zone, but 100 miles basically goes South of Tacoma or Spokane. This doesn't make any sense, and while there are cuts to EVERY other program, Homeland Security and Defense Departments are increasing their budgets. Please call your representative (Both House and Senate) and insist of voting NO on this bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
