Thus freeing up more who can. He didn't get that part?
There are folks out there who want the flow to halt, 100%. That ain't gonna happen.

The daily and nightly influx of illegals across the border will remain OVERWHELMING even with 5,000 (more like 2,500) NG troops.
Besides these NG troops will not be able to make arrests and will only observe and "notify" the border patrol.
I guarantee that thousands of border jumpers will be able to get across the border and hide faster than the border patrol agents (after being notified) can arrive on the scene.
Pres. Bush's proposal is just more of the same. We need strong, drastic measures if we expect to stop this invasion.
Unfortunately, GWB is afraid that he will be called names if he proposes putting up a wall or a fence, which in reality is the ONLY thing that will guarantee that the US remains a sovereign nation free of invasion.
I'm not sure where you live, but I can tell you that where I live, illegals are taking over huge apartment complexes.
In nearby towns, stabbings and shootings have skyrocketed due to Guatemalan and El Salvadorean gangs who have nothing better to do than deal drugs or prey on nearby citizens.
Less than two miles from my cushy suburban home, there are blocks and blocks of apartment flophouses stuffed with illegals, most of whom simply hang out during the day because they dont have jobs. They just came rushing across the border on the vague promise that they could get rich, and now find themselves fighting each other.
The cableTV company recently added 4 Spanish only channels, which means that nearly 20 percent of the basic cable channels are SPANISH.
We are experiencing an invasion, my friend. If not your children, then YOUR GRANDCHILDREN will be forced to speak Spanish just to survive in America.
