Border Patrol, NASCAR Gear Up Hiring Effort
Where are you likely to find candidates for the 6,000 new border agent jobs that are supposed to be filled by the end of next year? How about among the millions of fans of NASCAR across the country? That's the Border Patrol's logic, anyway. The Washington Times reports that the agency has struck a $975,000 deal with Jay Robinson Racing to sponsor its No. 28 Chevrolet for the 25 remaining races in the 2007 NASCAR Busch Series season. "This partnership is exactly what we needed to rev our recruiting and hiring into high gear," said U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner W. Ralph Basham.
