The administrations budget also fails to specify whether any of these new positions are allocated to the northern border. The Presidents budget priorities for fiscal year 2007 raise other serious concerns. including a proposal to eliminate grants dedicated to port security. This shortsighted proposal inexplicably shortchanges what we know is already a critically vulnerable aspect of our border security. It is difficult to reconcile what this President says about border security and what his administration does or does not do. The lack of effectiveness of this administration is represented for many Americans by the Department of Homeland Securitys failures to prepare for and respond to Hurricane Katrina. It was a disgrace and a human tragedy.
