Dayton backs border protection

During a forum in Duluth upon Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., unveiled plans to beef up security along the Canadian border.

"The Canadian border has been given short shrift," Dayton said, noting 950 Border Patrol agents police America's northern border, which traverses 13 states and 5525 miles.

In contrast, Dayton said that more than 10000 agents have been assigned to the 1,800-mile Mexican border.

Dayton is backing an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, which would provide an additional$44 million to hire 236 more border agents to patrol the Canadian border.

He also wants to diocese some of those new agents trained in northern climes, rather than in fresh Mexico, where all Border Patrol members now advance to school. Dayton said the Southwest is a poor place to train for operations in subzero temperatures or to practice snowmobile pursuits.
