    Indeed.

    When I heard that on the radio I initially wondered who was sending them because I was convinced Obama wasn't going to do it. It's about time!

    About time for what?

    These are 1200 desk jobs

    They will have nothing to do with any sort of enforcement
    And 1200 along that whole border ? Its insane

    Lets see... If about 500,000 Illegals try to cross the border this year that would equal 419 Illegal aliens per 1 border patrol
