    What Happened oo DHS's Plan to Close the Borders

    http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interapp/s ... h_0113.xml

    We agree with the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America that the steady flow of commerce among the Americas leads to increased prosperity. We must balance trade with protection. As we strengthen our borders for greater protection, we must do it through technology and an appreciation of our trade-dependent communities along the border. This is not a choice between two opposites - we can do both.

    So how do we accomplish protection and maintain the steady flow of commerce?

    One way is though the U.S.-Mexico Border Partnership - signed one year ago by Secretary Creel and Secretary of State, Colin Powell. The United States and Mexico are working together to create a "Smart Border" for the 21st century - one that utilizes progressive technology to ensure the safe travel of people and goods across our shared border.

    We envision a border that is open for business, secure for the flow of people, and closed to organized crime and terrorism. As part of the "Smart Border" accord, the SENTRI program allows low-risk travelers to enter through a dedicated lane at our border with minimal or no delay.

    * We will expand access to the SENTRI program. In conjunction with this expansion, the U.S. will extend the enrollment period for SENTRI from one year to two years.
    * The U.S. also plans to reduce the waiting period of issuance of the SENTRI card to three months, or less, by June. And in September, we will establish a new lane dedicated to pedestrians at the San Ysidro port of entry.
    * We will expand the Border Safety program to help save migrant lives in the current "hot spot", the border south of Tucson, Arizona.
    * And we will create a FAST lane in El Paso. The "Free and Secure Trade" program expedites cross-border movements of commercial carriers, importers, and truck drivers who enroll in the program.

    Smart Border? If that isn't an oxymoron I don't know what is.

    Smart Border???

    How can a bunch of Beanheads come up with a Smart Border? It would take some people Smart Enough to Know....we're gonna CLOSE THE BORDER.

    No entry without a Passport. That now happens to be the law, already signed by the President.

    Lets enforce it and worry about a Smart Border......after we get all the Beanheads Out of Our Government that didn't have enough sense or smarts to prevent this mess we're in now.
