The town is part of the nation's busiest U.S. Border Patrol station, in a state that is the nation's busiest illegal entry point.

If that's where they're going to be working, I think they ought to have guns.

I doubt we could get Fox's permission for that...

They will be assisting with construction of a steel fence, where there is no fence in some areas. The construction is only done in during the day, there isn't much cross border acitvity in this area during the daylight hours. They will be in more danger from the 110+ degree temperatures than from armed intruders.

The Utah National Guard is being sent to another state to secure the border. I have a bunch of questions about the way that this shady operation is being executed. Isn't it unconstitutional to send the National Guard into another state if the guard has not been federalized? Who is in charge of these troops? Utah's Governor or the governor of the border state in which the troops are placed? Since these national guard troops are citizens of Utah wouldn't they have to be under the control of the Governor of Utah and not the governor of the border state?

I think the reprocussions will be very serious if one NG member dies because they're sent unarmed among drug thugs.
