There are just words. There is no action to back up the words. You know. if you listen to the Republicans on immigration. as Mr. MEEK referenced. you would think that they were the hardest line. the hardest core. that border security was the highest priority to them. But if you closely examine the facts. you dont have to even closely examine the facts. you just scratch the surface a little bit. Take a look at what the real record of this hard line Republican congressional leadership is when it comes to border security. Lets show the American people who is for immigration reform and who is just kidding. These are thirdparty validators here. Here is border security by the numbers. We took a look and found that as it relates to the average number of new Border Patrol agents that are added each year. because the Republicans talk a good game about how many Border Patrol agents they want to add. well. under the Clinton administration. from 1993 to 2000. the average number per year added was 642. You take a look how many were added. Border Patrol agents per year. under the Bush administration from 2001 to 2005. it was 411. That is not just a couple. that is not a handful. that is a big difference. 642 minus 411. I am not a mathematician. whatever it is. someone subtract it for me.
