The Washington Times Op-Ed
President Bush should dispatch Vice President Dick Cheney for some immediate high-level attention to the border-control problem. We don't normally presume to tell the president how to deploy his top advisers, much less his vice president, but the conclusion seems inescapable after this week's chaos on the border.
The Department of Homeland Security released hasty-sounding plans this week to dispatch 150 Border Patrol agents to Arizona in the next few days. The move is a short-term, ad-hoc fix that coincides with Project Minuteman's deployment this weekend and follows the president's abnegation of border-control promises.
