(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which by its own admission has thus far failed to control even half of America's nearly 2,000-mile-long border with Mexico, is now sending personnel to Afghanistan to help that country secure its border with Pakistan.

On a New Year’s visit to Afghanistan, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said there are now 25 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CPB) personnel on the ground in Afghanistan. That number could reach 65 or more by the end of 2011, she said.

“We’re going to contribute numbers,â€

[quote="stevetheroofer"]Napolitano said U.S. civilians also are working to prevent “criminal activity in general, not just insurgency.â€

The DHS spokesperson did not respond to questions about what posts CBP and ICE personnel would be pulled from in order to go to Afghanistan.

Just another way to aid this government's agenda of NOT securing our southern border. Take away our much needed border security sources. Our potus and his cohorts have no intention of ever truly securing the borders.

More concern for abroad then here at our own home borders. Come on 2012! Get this misgiuded administration out of office ASAP!
