Phony cuts where no cuts exist! It is all gov-speak, where budget cuts mean no cuts, just less of percentage in government's parasitic future growth. So now our government fails at the one reason for it to really exist: Protecting the citizenry and it borders. All we have are Demagogues and Liars at the top. m/rSequester cuts raising fears of security setback near the border - Washington Times

Piled a foot-deep on some trails, his 22,000-acre Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., had become a major route for illegal immigrants headed north. The ranch sits in what law enforcement authorities called the “avenue of choice” for people trying to sneak into the U.S. There were so many moving through so often, he said it looked like a “slow motion invasion.”
“Literally, I felt like the guy with his finger in the dike, and I just didn’t think I could hold back the flood,” he said.
Mr. Barnett began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 after they started to vandalize his property — destroying water pumps, killing calves, vandalizing fences and gates, stealing trucks and breaking into his house. Some of his cattle died from ingesting the plastic bottles left behind.
“We’re still overrun, but not like it used to be,” Mr. Barnett told The Washington Times. “But it will get that way again, and rather quickly, as they pull U.S. Border Patrol agents off the line. I hate to see them go.”
Mr. Barnett, like a growing number of border residents and Border Patrol agents, is fearful that sequestration will result in a security setback in the government’s claim — made just last week in testimony by Border Patrol Chief Michael J. Fisher — that the border is “more secure than ever before.” [Just more lies!]
