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

“up to 1200”.
That means he could send just one.

Probably not allowed to shoot, stop, question anything or be “racist”.

and will they be allowed to carry loaded weapons and allowed to fire if need be...

Big effing deal.

Even if he sent 1200 troops, that’s just half a brigade to cover the whole border with the Mexicanos.

But it’s OK because they won’t be allowed to have bullets.

Will they be “armed” with rakes and weedeaters? Maybe Aunt Esther wants a bigger garden this time.

Obama does whatever is expedient. He is reacting to polling data, not to a belief that sealing the border is important.

What is more important to you Barry? A little “discrimination” or the national security of the United States of America?

Probably with no weapons or at least no ammo.

1200 HUH? That’s only 2/3 the size of the Ski School at Vail! GFL, Obama!

They’re probably being deployed to keep an eye on Arizona County Sheriffs and State Troopers.

His vision is to welcome illegals, I suspect, and perhaps to offer food and beverages? Food stamps? Govt goodies? Maps and new shoes? I bet it is ...

Obama plans to request $500 million for "enhanced U.S.-Mexico Border protection and law enforcement."

Hmmmmmm.........who gets the $500 million? Calderon?

Aid to Mexico an urgent priority
Miami Herald, FR Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 by ajodl

The outpouring of drug-related violence in Mexico over the last few months has made it indisputably clear that President Felipe Calderón's government is engaged in a fight to the death against the powerful criminal gangs that run the cross-border drug trade.

For Mexico, the stakes are all too clear: Either it prevails or the country becomes one big sanctuary for druglords. With Mexico reaching out to the United States for help and the Bush administration eager to comply, Congress must make assistance to Mexico an urgent priority.

Last week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee took the first significant step toward approving the aid package known as the Merida Initiative by approving a $1.6 billion plan to fight drug trafficking in Mexico and Central America.

This is a welcome move, but the bill still has a number of hurdles to overcome, and, meanwhile, the fire in Mexico is gathering intensity. Officials murdered In the last two months, 12 Mexican federal police officials have been assassinated, including the acting federal police chief and other high-ranking law enforcement officers. Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo -- three major border cities -- have become increasingly dangerous.

On May 10, the No. 2 officer on the Ciudad Juarez police force was shot more than 50 times and killed, and this weekend the police chief himself resigned.

The Merida Initiative, named for the city where Presidents Bush and Calderón announced the plan, represents the U.S. part of a partnership aimed at stopping this growing security threat. Most of the funding goes toward providing helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to the Mexican government to combat the narcotics trade, along with training for operations.

Unreasonable proposals. It prohibits cash payments of any kind and it includes significant protections, such as barring the involvement of units accused of human-rights abuses. Even with these kinds of safeguards, supporters of the measure in the Foreign Relations panel had to fight back efforts by Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and others to add conditions that would have made the bill unworkable.

One defeated proposal would block the aid to Mexico unless the U.S. president certifies that the U.S.-Mexico border is secure. Such proposals are not only unreasonable, but counter-productive. They are designed to stymie all aid to Mexico at a time when the government is waging a fight in which the United States has a major stake. If the violence in Mexico is not checked, it is only a matter of time before it spills over across the border. Mr. Calderón has courageously decided to make a stand against drug criminals. By helping him, the United States will be helping itself.

Mexico's President Calderon Headed to U.S.

FR Posted on 02/13/2008 by VU4G10

Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who has has publicly stated his concern for the "growing harassment" and "frank persecution" of Mexicans in the United States, will make his first official visit to California Wednesday and will meet with immigrant leaders among others.

Speaking to the Mexican government's migrant assistance agency in November, his comments about "persecution" appear to have been aimed at U.S. presidential candidates who voiced their desire to curb illegal immigration. He also expressed disappointment at Congress' inability to agree on an immigration reform measure.

While in the Golden State, he will address the state Legislature and attend a private lunch meeting with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, and other officials. According to George Grayson, a government professor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia who specializes in Mexico, Calderon also is coming to the United States to apply political pressure on U.S. lawmakers.--SNIP--Calderon wants his $1.4 billion in US taxpayer loot--no questions asked.

QUOTING FORMER CONG TOM TANCREDO (R-Colo) Juan Hernandez headed up the Mexican govt agency, "Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States. Hernandez is a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, and a good friend of then-presidents Bush and Mexico's Vicente Fox." Hernandez was presidential candidate John McCain's Hispanic outreach man.

Hernandez explained to Cong Tancredo the purpose of the Mexican government agency: Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States:

(1) to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States.....

(2) to direct Mexican nationals in the US to serve Mexico’s needs (like reconquista);

(3) to increase US remittances to Mexico of $50 billion a year (30% of the Mexican GDP);

(4) to get US jobs for an exploding Mexican population, alleviating Mexico's social instability due to rising unemployment;

(5) to get free US training for Mexicans, who are expected to return and repatriate those skills back to Mexico.

Hernandez, a duaol citizen whp resides in Fort Worth, supports amnesty: "By populating the United States with millions of Hispanics tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on US policy and its dealings with Mexico."

NOTE: " Exerting enormous influence and pressure on US policy and its dealings with Mexico" means extorting billions of US tax dollars to subsidize corrupt Third World federales.

But not one single soldier to the Canadian border. Racial profiling at its worst!

Obama “claiming” to have read it, does not mean he understood it. The guy is an intellectual LIGHTWEIGHT.

Ping to post #14

Do they have ammunition?

“But not one single soldier to the Canadian border. Racial profiling at its worst!”

Please tell us you’re joking.

When you find 22,000 people murdered on a Canadian border town like Ciudad Juarez ...the MOST dangerous city in the WORLD, with more beheadings, kidnappings, murders of journalists ANYWHERE, please let us know.

They got plenty of ammo.....
