McCain, Kyl Announce a 10-Point Border Security Plan

1. Immediately deploy 3,000 National Guard Troops along the Arizona/Mexico border, along with appropriate surveillance platforms, which shall remain in place until the Governor of Arizona certifies, after consulting with state, local and tribal law enforcement, that the Federal Government has achieved operational control of the border. Permanently add 3,000 Custom and Border Protection Agents to the Arizona/Mexico border by 2015.

2. Fully fund and support Operation Streamline in Arizona’s two Border Patrol Sectors to, at a minimum, ensure that repeat illegal border crossers go to jail for 15 to 60 days. Where Operation Streamline has been implemented, the number of illegal crossings has decreased significantly. Require the Obama Administration to complete a required report detailing the justice and enforcement resources needed to fully fund this program. Fully reimburse localities for any related detention costs.

3. Provide $100M, an increase of $40M, for Operation Stonegarden, a program that provides grants and reimbursement to Arizona’s border law enforcement for additional personnel, overtime, travel and other related costs related to illegal immigration and drug smuggling along the border.

4. Offer Hardship Duty Pay to Border Patrol Agents assigned to rural, high-trafficked areas, such as the CBP Willcox and Douglas Stations in the Tucson Sector.

5. Complete the 700 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico and construct double- and triple- layer fencing at appropriate locations along the Arizona-Mexico border.

6. Substantially increase the 25 mobile surveillance systems and three Predator B Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in place today along the Arizona/Mexico border and ensure the border patrol has the resources necessary to operate the UAVs 24 hours a day seven days a week. Send additional fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to the Arizona-Mexico Border.

7. Increase funding for vital radio communications and interoperability between CBP and state, local, and tribal law enforcement to assist in apprehensions along the border.

8. Provide funding for additional Border Patrol stations in the Tucson Sector and explore the possibility of an additional Border Patrol sector for Arizona. Create six additional permanent Border Patrol Forward Operating Bases, and provide funding to upgrade the existing bases to include modular buildings, electricity and potable water. Complete construction of the planned permanent checkpoint in Arizona. Deploy additional temporary roving checkpoints and increase horse patrols throughout the Tucson Sector.

9. Require the Federal government to fully reimburse state and local governments for the costs of incarcerating criminal aliens. Start by at least funding the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) at its authorized level of $950 million.

10. Place one full-time Federal Magistrate in Cochise County and provide full funding for and authorization of the Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative to reimburse state, county, tribal, and municipal governments for costs associated with the prosecution and pre-trial detention of federally-initiated criminal cases declined by local offices of the United States Attorneys.

The McCain/Kyll ten point list sounds pretty damn good. Except, maybe the border wouldn't be so freaking insecure if federal agencies *coughATFcough*didn't allow thousands of American-made weapons fall into Narco hands...all which was done on "purpose" as they would later follow the weapon's...thing is, no one else knew and they lost the guns...less than a month later, a border patrol agent was killed and so was an ICE agent in Mexico...And of course we now have to secure the border as a result of this-an even made by an American blunder. This government's ability to constantly shoot itself in the foot is just dumbfounding.

Sounds like GOP's never want to do immigration reform.
I just want to blame Obama for not doing anything when democrats had full power.

Republicans cut border security budget back in February 2011. While they are at it, they keep saying "border security first". Aren't they amazing?

Quote:
These cuts will reduce funding for the Department of Homeland Security back to levels prior to the 2009 Christmas Day attack, yet there are more threats that we must defend against. The Republican cuts in the continuing resolution passed in the middle of February would cut 870 Customs and Border Protection Agents that are needed to patrol and protect the Texas border. These cuts will also eliminate 175 canine teams used to detect drugs transported into our country by violent drug cartels. Two hundred and fifty advanced-imaging technology machines used at airports like Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport will no longer be in service to detect and prevent harmful or unsafe materials from entering commercial airliners due to these cuts. Further, the cuts made by congressional Republicans would eliminate $1 billion from the Disaster Relief Fund, thus making Gulf Coast communities' recovery from natural disasters like Hurricane Ike much more difficult.
