Will Add 6,000 Agents In 19 Months
Will add 6,000 agents in 19 months
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- April 18
Dobbs: President Bush planning to boost the size of the U.S. Border Patrol by 6,000 agents by the end of next year. And at the same time, cut the number of National Guard troops deployed on our border with Mexico.

Wian: A Government Accountability Office report last month raised concern about a shortage of veteran personnel to train the massive influx of new agents.

At that rate, the price tag for 6,000 agents will exceed $1 billion.
