In a move that has angered lawmakers and sheriffs, President Bush refused to meet with border law enforcement officials in Texas for a second time, prompting some Republican congress members to schedule hearings.
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, a member of the House subcommittee on international terrorism and nonproliferation, said the administration has shown a seeming lack of concern for border security, the San Bernardino Sun reported.
Poe has pushed for the hearings in San Diego and Laredo, Texas, early next month, hoping they will expose the border situation to the public and force action by the administration.
The congressman said that in his two trips to the border this year he witnessed long, barren stretches with no security and numerous illegals crossing into the U.S.
"The next terrorist is not going to come in through screening at Kennedy airport," Poe told the Sun. "We already have information that people from the Middle East have come through the border from Mexico. They assimilate in Mexico learning to speak Spanish and adopt customs and then they cross the border into the United States."
