Border Patrol Struggles to Find Enough New Agents

Border Patrol Struggles to Find Enough New Agents Recruiting and hiring thousands of additional federal Border Patrol agents is a key part of President Bush's plan to reduce illegal immigration. But tough entry requirements and low pay are making it difficult for the Border Patrol to find and retain enough new agents to meet that goal. Democratic Congressman Silvestre Reyes, who used to be a border patrol chief in South Texas, says the president and Congress can ask for thousands of new agents, but finding them is not that easy. Representative SILVESTRE REYES : Even if Congress were to say we're funding 10,000 new agents, we're giving the border patrol the green light and we want you to hire them next year.
