Border security may receive $ 600 windfall under Obama

As debate over the new Arizona immigration law SB 1070 rages on, the call for immigration reform and extra border security is boiling over and can't be pushed to the back burner. The Los Angeles Times reports that President Obama has asked Congress for a $ 600 million emergency fund with which the U.S. can quickly hire 1,000 more Border Patrol agents, purchase two Predator drones and beef up protection along America's Southwest border. Part of this sweeping plan would consist of 160 more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, as well as canine units to put their noses to the border security grindstone, said an anonymous senior White House official.
