I'll NEVER understand why, especially after these events where our border agents are getting SHOT at, that the fed. gov. doesn't put some National Guard units down there to help the agents and tell them they should be shooting back....I know, I think by law, the National Guard isn't supposed to do that sort of thing in our country....but then what's wrong with putting some of our military down there. This is, after all, an invasion, assaults on American citizens!

And I REALLY wish SOMEONE in this gov., be it the President, members of the Administration, or even one member of Congress go before the cameras and reporters and tell Fox and Mexico to go take a flying leap when they sit down there and give pronouncements of how bad we are because we actually want control of our borders. They, on the other hand, have troops on their own southern border trying to keep illegals from coming into their country. I hope they're successful in doing that,because those folks are just wanting to come up thru Mexico and cross over into our country. Heaven help us.

I think you have it backwards...the Guard can be deployed for stuff like this, that is why we have them. The active military cannot be deployed, for combat, on our soil.

Heavy emphasis on the "I think" part.
