The Secret Service expects to borrow more than 2,000 immigration officers and federal airport screeners next year to help guard an ever-expanding field of presidential candidates. It also expects to shift 250 of its own agents from investigations to security details.

The agency has a $110-million budget for campaign protection. It spent a record $65 million for the 2004 election.
