Who's Hiring: Border Patrol Needs to Fill 600 Jobs
Posted By: Cristi Jessee 21 hrs ago



SACRAMENTO, CA - The U.S. Border Patrol was recruiting at the Embassy Suites in Sacramento Saturday, looking for qualified job applicants.

Recruiters want to fill at least 600 open positions by the end of 2008. It's all part of a push started by President Bush to make sure the U.S. border is fully protected. In June 2006, Bush promised to increase the Border Patrol by 6,000 agents. The reinforcements would make the U.S. Border Patrol 18,000 strong.

"We're strong right now. We're at 17,400, more or less," said U.S. Border Patrol Agent Socorro Donadio. "There's a lot of us out here, but we need more people."

Donadio said the job is perfect for someone who doesn't want to sit behind a desk all day.

"So if you are looking for a job and you like to work outdoors, this is a great opportunity for you right now," Donadio said.

An applicant must be a U.S. citizen, must possess a valid state driver's license and Must be under the age 40 to register to take a written test.

U.S. Border Patrol salaries start from $36,000 to $46,000 a year. Within three years of service, a border patrol agent can earn up to $70,000 a year.

As long as Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean remain UNJUSTLY canned, many who would be RIGHT for THIS job will HESITATE or DISMISS even the THOUGHT of it!

I wonder if they will start hiring illegals to do this job too?

Vote for OBAMA or deny McCain a vote by voting third party ensuring a Obama win and you may see the border patrol dissmantled. The DEMS will not fund them and they will hire nobody!

Do not put it past the AACORN/Wright social activist!

And what pray tell will they be hired to do? Watch the illegals run in, drug
drops, handing them water, watching cameras that are watching them run
in by the dozens at a time, what could they possible be doing with their
hands tied and bound????

That kinds henders anything they could possible be doing to protect
the border. What a joke.
