BTT!

Just heard on radio news that Obama is sending 1000 national guard to the border. They will be impotent, just as they were under Bush.

Obama to Deploy Up to 1,200 National Guard Troops to U.S.-Mexico Border

FOXNews.com

President Obama told Senate Republicans Tuesday that he’s read the controversial Arizona immigration law and is concerned it would allow for discrimination — but is planning to deploy up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to allay security concerns.

An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Obama plans to request $500 million for “enhanced border protection and law enforcement” and deploy the National Guard troops as needed.

The official said the National Guard would be used to “provide intelligence; surveillance and reconnaissance support; intelligence analysis; immediate support to counternarcotics enforcement; and training capacity until Customs and Border Patrol can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border.”

That's like applying IcyHot to an artificial limb, IMHO!
