State Of The Border Security Business

Last week, a few hundred of their reps heard from the Administration on technology needed for an ambitious border security proposal, one that could be worth billions.
“This issue is clearly one of the most important public-policy priorities for the Administration as well as for the Congress,” Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Michael Jackson told the crowd.
