WASHINGTON (AFP) – Two Republican senators proposed Monday sending 3,000 more US National Guard soldiers to quell violence spilling over the border between their home state of Arizona and Mexico.
In a 10-point plan for beefing up security in the area, Senators John McCain and John Kyl also called for permanently adding 3,000 US Custom and Border Protection Agents to the Arizona/Mexico border by 2015.
They also called for completing construction of 700 miles of fencing along the border and beefing up unmanned aerial vehicle patrols so that they could be run 24 hours a day.
"Violence has dramatically increased over the last two years," McCain said at a joint press conference with Kyl and two sheriffs from Arizona border areas.

All right, who told John McCain we have a border with Mexico and that there might be a problem with security? Why, wasn’t he told earlier?
If you had built the fence we wanted you to build we wouldn’t need to put 3,000 soldiers on the line.
Can we attach cameras to the pigs when they start flying ?
Gee, McCain must be really worried that he’ll lose “his” seat in the Senate otherwise, he’d never have noticed the “problems with Mexican illegal violence.”
“Violence has dramatically increased over the last two years,” McCain said...

He’s absolutely right. But hmmmm.. I wonder who the idiot Senator was that advocated - for years - for an open border policy?
Now? Now it is a problem?
McCain = political whore
A day late and a dollar short.
How about just bringing V Corp home and giving them the mission: “Secure the Border.”
McCain is like a person with amnesia. He only remembers conservative values during primary or election time.
That sound you hear is McLame beating feet back to the right to be succeeded by the sound of McLame beating feet back to the left after November.
What a great idea. Makes too much sense for the US Gub’mint.
If he wins his primary, McCain will drop all this and run as fast as he can in the other direction — to the gang who will try to help get Immigration Reform (aka, amnesty for illegals) passed.
I don’t trust John McCain as far as I could throw the GOP elephant.
1st Armored is coming to Ft. Bliss. The expansion has been huge.
Yep.
Right after they build the wall they promised.
