Sheriff's Department gets $5 million to fight border crime

11:39 a.m. August 4, 2009

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department received about $5 million in federal economic stimulus funds to hire deputies to fight border-related crime, it was announced today.

The two-year grant, through the U.S. Department of Justice, will pay for 16 deputies, one evidence technician and one district attorney working border- related crimes full-time, Sheriff William Gore told the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

He cited the recent murder of Robert Rosas Jr., a Border Patrol Agent gunned down while on duty near the Mexican border in Campo, as evidence of the "very real threat" of border crime.

"My deputies are ready to attack this problem and this money will allow us to do it full-time," Gore said.

The grant will fund "Operation Vise Grip," which is aimed at controlling, reducing and preventing criminal narcotics activity and violence along the U.S. and Mexico border.

No better way to spend our tax dollars!

Why would the sheriff's department need to spend $5 million to fight border crime?

Napolitano says the border is under control.

So what's Sheriff William Gore doing to earn funding? I'd like to know because Sheriff Joe didn't get any funding? Could it be because Sheriff William 'obeys' orders from this corrupt DOJ like Joe doesn't? If any sheriff deserved that funding it was Joe..or at least the two depts could have split it.

Good comment Rockfish.

Here's an older article re to this:

Sheriff Joe needs to get back on Lou Dobbs and let the country know what they are doing to him. Maybe we should write Lou and suggest this.

I think Sheriff Gore got the 5 million to NOT enforce immigration laws.
