U.S. Border Patrol Moved to Katrina Area, Border Vulnerable (newsmax)
U.S. Border Patrol Moved to Katrina Area, Border Vulnerable
Dave Eberhart, NewsMax.com
Friday, Sept. 2, 2005
U.S. Border Patrol officers are being shifted away from their posts guarding the U.S.-Mexico border to aid in the Katrina Hurricane disaster, leaving the country vulnerable to illegals and terrorists attempting to enter the U.S., NewsMax has learned.

The Bush administration ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the federal agency charged with securing the border, to provide manpower, assets, and humanitarian support to Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, which has some border state residents nervous that the thin red line of protection from the plague of illegals, drug smugglers and gang members will be stretched even thinner.
