Guard Leaves Border
Achievements Questioned
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- June 2
Wian: Private contractors are already taking over some National Guard duties on the border. But it's clear the National Guard will be missed. This road behind me used to be so steep and treacherous that border patrol agents in vehicles chasing illegal aliens and drug smugglers down this hill, they'd sometimes roll over. Now that the National Guard has moved something like 250,000 cubic yards of earth in here and bulldozed a new road, that kind of thing doesn't happen anymore, Lou.
Dobbs: Amazing and 37 whole miles of fence in two years?
Wian: Well they did that among other things.
Dobbs: No, no, no, I'm certain.
Wian: Not just the fence construction...
Dobbs: No, no...
Wian: There are others involved in the fence construction besides the National Guard.
Dobbs: Yeah, I understand. But 37 miles of fence is pretty pitiful. I mean that just isn't getting it done by this administration, the Department of Homeland Security. It's remarkable. And there is -- when will be the last -- when will the last National Guardsman leave the border?
