National Guard To Seek Volunteers For Border


www.koat.com
Sources say the Obama administration is developing plans to seek up to 1,500 National Guard volunteers to step up the military's counter-drug efforts along the Mexican border.

Volunteers would largely be drawn from the more than 50,000 Army and Air National Guard members in Arizona, New Mexico, California and Texas.

The plan is a stopgap measure being worked out between the Defense Department and the Homeland Security Department.

He's correct! It was the same the last time they did this. The NG was doing the paper work and the handling of those that where caught to process them for law enforcement. No Arms, No ammo, Nuttin' but a smile and a pencil. Unless the Congress actually states that this incursion is an invasion and deems it in writing that it is an act of war by a foreign nation, Our troops canot take up arms against them, even if shot at they must rely on Border Patrol or civilian border Patriots to protect them!

Well that's just stupid Zindo...that's nuts to put a man or woman in uniform and put them out there without weapons.

All we are in essence is doing is just painting a target on them by doing that.

Having spent a lot of time in the South Wester Desert I can testify to the fact that almost anything that makes for a good looking target ends up with a hole in it.

You know, when I first heard this today, they didn't announce they would be going out there without weapons, and I was like "Awesome! Finally, they're going to man the borders, like they should have been doing years ago." (I live in Arizona, and I for one, am getting sick and tired of all the drug problems in this state.)

But then, they announce...no weapons, and I'm like, WTF??? Who, in their right mind, would put UNARMED men and women out on the southern border, when it has become more dangerous than the wild west down there. These drug lords are going after entire POLICE UNITS in Mexico, and we think that by putting some unarmed people down there, that's going to deter them???

WHO IN THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUR FREAKING FOREIGN POLICY THESE DAYS???? Because my guess is whoever thought of this brilliant idea has the IQ of a carrot. All I can think of is to echo what a previous poster said...by sending down unarmed men and women (and announcing it on the TV in Arizona means that all the drug lords in Mexico know they'll be unarmed), they are hoping to provoke an attack, so we can then invade Mexico, and "defend" ourselves.

HA!! Homeland defense. That's a laugh. We've had over 12 millions illegals crashing our country in the last 20 years, and now, they think they're going to stop the drug trade by placing 1500 unarmed patrolmen on the border??? NATIONAL SECURITY, MY A**. This is assinine. It's insane. It makes about as much sense as the Bailouts did.

WTF??

All I can say is that my government doesn't deserve my taxes. This is insane. I'm seriously considering NOT paying taxes this year. Bank bailouts, unarmed patrols on the border..... What's next? Or do I even want to know??

Border Patrol has all kinds of weapons but the NG is NOT an organization of sworn law enforcement. They are a wing of the US military an come under the law that says NO US troops may engage in warfare on US soil unless a war is formally declared and we're under direct attack by a foreign entity and martial law is put in force!. Our Congress Critters won't declare this an invasion so these guys are just pencil pushers and latrine diggers!
