“Newswires are reporting that before President Bush left this morning to travel to Yuma, Arizona to see for himself what’s happening at the border that he sent Congress a $1.9 billion request to increase border security.

According to an Associated Press report, the money is said to pay for the “‘first 1,000 of 6,000 new Border Patrol agents that will be deployed in the next two years,’ as well as the temporary deployment of up to 6,000 National Guard troops to states along the Mexican border. The request includes funds for new fencing and other barriers as well as two new unmanned surveillance aircraft and five helicopters to curb illegal immigration.”"
