It's a ok start.[M2]

"The National Guard troops will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. They will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border, an administration official said."
Looks like they'll just be babysitting... Hope not, but sure sounds like it. Maybe a smart move, but I'm thinking it may be a hollow move to alleviate some pressures that Obozo is under from both sides of the political isle.
Na, I think it's to appease Calderon, and kiss up to Mexico. He doesn't give a hoot about our opinion in America.Quote:

My thoughts exactly, Bear.
This is the most disturbing paragraph- it's the Mexican Embassy that needs a reality check
"criminalize migrants?" they're already criminals, entering the country illegallyQuote:
The Mexican Embassy said Tuesday it hoped the National Guard troops would be used to fight drug cartels and not enforce immigration laws. Mexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalize migrants and open the way for potential abuse.

Would it be unreasonable to ask for another 1200 troops on the Colorado border? Ah never mind... maybe after the Nov elections
Political maneuvering, nothing more…this ass-clown masquerading as the POTUS has absolutely no sincere commitment to immigration policy tuning or legitimate border control. Jane Brewer has a bigger pair than Oba’Mao and she is managing to her constituency’s expectations and the needs of AZ, something our government refuses to do. She’s making ‘Mao (and the entire Administration) look like the buffoon he is and forcing the hand of the left (nice work Jane).
I’m still seething at the disgusting sight of those Dem f**** standing-up and applauding that external twat pissing on AZ last week, what an embarrassment this leftist party is.
Here’s the “real” ‘Mao (and socialist party) in action for AZ… DOJ Lawyers Draft Challenge to AZ Law
“…the Justice Department's Civil Division, which oversees the majority of immigration enforcement issues for the department, has drafted a "civil complaint" that would be filed in federal court in Arizona, sources said.
The draft complaint challenges the Arizona law as unconstitutional, saying it is illegal because it impedes federal law, according to the sources,…”
"How" does it "impede" the federal law?
IT'S THE SAME THING, JUST ABLE TO ENFORCE IT ON THE STATE LEVEL.
[Bang]
Exactly! From what I get out of reading it, not only does it NOT impede federal law, it augments it with state level support.Quote:
