That would be Customs and Border Protection, or, as it is more commonly known, the Border Patrol. There are 46,000 gun-carrying Customs officers and Border Patrol agents, plus another 14,000 or so ancillary employees. Its budget of $12.4 billion annual budget is more than the combined budgets of the FBI, ATF, DEA, Secret Service and U.S. Marshals—plus the entire NYPD annual budget. To protect our borders the agency uses cars, trucks, boats, helicopters, planes, drones, and a blimp. Since 9/11, we have spent more than $100 billion in border and immigration control.
What is wrong with us?
