California's governor agrees to deploy 400 National Guard troops at Trump's request

Read Gov. Brown's full letter below.

Dear Secretary Nielsen and Secretary Mattis:

Pursuant to your request, the California National Guard will accept federal funding to add approximately 400 Guard members statewide to supplement the staffing of its ongoing program to combat transnational crime. This program is currently staffed by 250 personnel statewide, including 55 at the California border.

Your funding for new staffing will allow the Guard to do what it does best: support operations targeting transnational criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers along the border, the coast and throughout the state. Combating these criminal threats are priorities for all Americans – Republicans and Democrats. That’s why the state and the Guard have long supported this important work and agreed to similar targeted assistance in 2006 under President Bush and in 2010 under President Obama.

But let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission. This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.

Here are the facts: there is no massive wave of migrants pouring into California. Overall immigrant apprehensions on the border last year were as low as they’ve been in nearly 50 years (and 85 percent of the apprehensions occurred outside of California).

I agree with the Catholic Bishops who have said that local, state and federal officials should “work collaboratively and prudently in the implementation of this deployment, ensuring that the presence of the National Guard is measured and not disruptive to community life.”

I look forward to working with you on this important effort.

Sincerely,

Edmund G. Brown Jr.

Good observation, and a funny one too!

Sending that communist moron to the slammer for 10 or 20 years would be the best thing that could possibly happen for that failed State and its loyal American citizens.

The southern border is one problem. But western border-Pacific Ocean- is another.
In 2016 illegals via ‘visa overstays’ outnumbered illegals coming in from the south.

Search the internet for Visa overstays and see what it shows.

It would certainly get my vote, but I think pretty much all of California’s top officials would be exposed Constitutionally.

I’m all for throwing the book at these people.

I want it on the record that our state officials cannot breach their oath of office and defy the U. S. Constitution at will.

Put them all in the slammer. PLEASE!

BTW: A number of mayors and city council members should join them in the slammer.

Some of the police chiefs qualify as well > IMO.

That will not happen until President Trump appoints a real Attorney General.

Well, I’d like to argue that point, but Sessions simply hasn’t produced, and I see very few signs he’s going to. Even then you have to be very generous concerning the few things that may look like signs.

A huge numbr of visa overstayers!

Interesting that in 2015, twice as many were from Canada as were from Mexico. I’ll wager they’ve taken a lot of jobs Americans WOULD do. Hey, Trudeau! Hey!

Thanks for providing that article. It does a good job of
addressing the situation. How the USA handles it in the
future is uncertain for sure. But it needs attention.

Brown just wanted to keep control, knowing if he refused PDJT would nationalize them.

I don’t see that Brown is agreeing to NG troops at the border-—he is agreeing to having them ‘statewide. They already are ‘statewide’. SOOO-—IS Brown taking Federal $$$$$ under false pretenses???

Hmmmmmmm...🤔 Seems like a certain governor and his political party have seen some bad polling numbers about the open borders stuff?

I don’t know. I know some of them come in on boats instead of crossing by land. But I would think they would have to assist with what they’re getting paid for.
