$600 Million - To help Protect the U.S. Southern Borders
Thursday, August 12, 2010
$600 Million.. How many people will that amount of money feed? Regardless of how many, this money has been approved by Congress to use for border security, helping to secure the U.S. - Mexico border. All that must be done now is for the President to sign the measure. He will sign the bill by the end of the week.
It was a unanimous vote, and has the full backing of the GOP leaders. Here is what the money will be used for...
+ Roughly 1,500 new law enforcement agents
+ New unmanned aerial vehicles
+ New forwarding operatiing bases
+ 14 Million in new communications equipment
+ Crackdown on transnational criminal organizations
+ Help reduce trafficking of people, drugs, currency and weapons
Security on the Southwest border of the United States has been a major complaint from leaders on both the Democratic and Republican parties. But with these funds available, measures can now be taken to help secure the borders. It is not know how long the money would last, and if more money would be needed. The bill is funded in part by imposing higher fees on personnel companies that bring foreign workers into the United States. Companies now and into the future should think twice before attempting to bring foreign workers into the United States.
