Arizona and New Mexico have already declared states of emergency on the border. And what have they done about it??
Oh yea .. now I remember .. The Governor of AZ vetoed the illegal and fence bill
You're right. More show and no substance. If Bush stations the National Guard at the border, it will be interesting to learn the details. Is it short term to counteract the anticipated flood of new illegals once the comprehensive immigration bill is announced or a prelude to a real build up of our border patrol agents. Currently, we have 10,000 border patrol agents for both borders compared to the NYPD's 35,000 personnel.
Physical barriers [read fences] are force multipliers. Will Bush mention the F word?
