Here is a tibit from Joel Skousen on hoe the US government is offering contracts to private security firms for 12,000 border police on the Afghanistan border! This is sinister if true!

US FINANCES BORDER CONTROL EVERYWHERE BUT HOME
My readers have taken note that the new bill authorizing the Department of Homeland Security does virtually nothing to shut down the high volume traffic of illegal immigrants coming across Americaââ¬â¢s southern border. Border Patrol agents continue to complain that they are assigned patrol sectors away from known infiltration routes. Worse, the administration continues to lobby Congress to pass another amnesty bill for illegals, which will only increase the incentives to penetrate the border. "In response to such complaints, the administration claims that it doesnââ¬â¢t believe in the efficacy of border controls and fences, or that it "canââ¬â¢t afford" those measures. But this is clearly untrue. In every country in which the US has intervened recently, the US has spent millions in fortifying borders in order to stop cross infiltration (except when it wants to foment unrest, as in Macedonia). It has just come to my attention that US officials are offering contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to US and European security firms to build 177 checkpoints along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and staff them with 12,000 border policemen. How about spending some of those funds on US Homeland Security where in might make a difference? "
