Obama Said to Plan 1,200 National Guard Troops for Border

[MNeagle]

May 25 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will deploy as many as 1,200 additional National Guard troops to the border with Mexico to aid counternarcotics enforcement and provide intelligence and other forms of support, according to an administration official.

As part of the effort to stem the flow of drugs and weapons between the U.S. and Mexico, Obama will also ask Congress for $500 million in additional funds for enhanced border protection and law enforcement activities, according to the official, who asked not to be identified.

I'm sure they're being used as a smokescreen.

Some of the Guard will be deployed but they'll likely be limited in terms of what they can actually do and may end up doing little to nothing useful.

If Bush did it then so can Obama.

The troops will be there to make sure the undocumented tacobenders are not being hindered by vigilantes.

Silly guy, if there is one lesson to be learned from history it's that walls don't work.

They Don't?

Well... they might for the purpose that we want, but the government thinks differently. This alien invasion thing is purposeful of course. But anyway, that wall really helped with the Mongols.

Of course I have to agree.....If the U.S. government did not want them here ...they would not be here.
