WASHINGTON (AP) — Specially equipped
aircraft remained in their hangers more than
usual this summer and Border Patrol agents
cruised a rugged stretch of the Rio Grande four
or five to a vehicle because money had become so
tight within the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, an agent says.
Although gas rationing has been lifted, the
agent says, financial troubles within the INS lin
ger and are responsible for a hiring freeze on
Border Patrol agents that may continue through
the remaining 10 months of the fiscal year.
At the same time, apprehensions of illegal
aliens have increased, likely reflecting a surge in
illegal border crossings three years after Con
gress passed the Immigration Reform and Con
trol Act (IRCA) to seize control of the border.
The INS said it arrested 89,290 illegal aliens
on the Southwest border in September, com
pared with 65,809 in September 1988.
For the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, how
ever, apprehensions were down from the prior
year — totaling 854,939 in 1989 compared with
943,063 in 1988 and 1,122,067 in 1987. Some
stretches of border, the Rio Grande Valley of
Texas and near Laredo, saw increases for the
year, INS figures show.
Under IRCA, employers were prohibited
from hiring undocumented aliens ana the num
ber of Border Patrol agents was to double to
5,000. Yet today there are just 4,100 agents, said
Rep. Lamar Smith, ranking Republican on the
House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration,
refugees and international law.
“It’s a disaster,” said Dan Stein, executive di
rector of the Federation for American Immigra
tion Reform. “At a time when the Border Patrol
was finally getting up to speed, the funding base
collapsed. At a time when we need them most,
we’re losing people.
“We are looking down the barrel of a massive
movement from Mexico,” Stein said. “Any major
economic downturn could set off a crisis along
the border and there’s not the manpower down
there to take care of it, and by all accounts Con
gress and the administration are asleep at the
wheel.”
An agent on the Texas-Mexico borders
believes the Border Patrol’s presence has I*
weakened by manpower and vehicle short
and gas rationing over the summer.
“They’re not rationing fuel now, butthei;
lion’s not better because we’re losing peopi
retirement and to other areas,” said the;-
speaking on condition of anonymity. “It lalt
sources here to do the job, it takes equipmet:
manpower, and we’re certainly short on!
INS spokesman Duke Austin said Core
sioner Gene McNary’s staff is making a “cor
hensive review of agency operations.”
however, refused to discuss the situation.
“Freezing hiring in the Border Patrolisa
ble response to the problem,” House imm®
tion subcommittee Chairman Bruce Moni'
said. “They need to look at more appropt
ways to save money if they have a budgets(|ii(
How do they have a budget squeeze in then

and discussed who would go with the
president that day. Brady decided to
attend the event with Reagan.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t
think of what that decision meant.
and how fate played its hand,” he
said. “I still think there is no substi
tute for being with the president at
all times. It’s a responsibility and a
privilege as press secretary.”
On the lighter side, Speakes said
the White House staff would some
times make jokes about how tough
reporters are.
“Ronald Reagan and I watched
ABC news with Sam Donaldson, and
it was a night when Sam had done a
particularly tough piece,” Speakes
said. “After it was over, Reagan
turned and remarked to me, ‘You
know, if TV hadn’t been invented,
Sam would probably go door to
door.”
He said he had to stay on ti
the news because the pressed
him about anything at anytime
“You’re in the hot seat241i
day," he said. “It was very tong!;
an enjoyable tough. I’niveryp
had the privilege to serve inti
ition.”
