Only 483 Guard Working on Mexican Border

DRUDGE REPORT ^ | 6/30/2006 | AARON C. DAVIS

[ohhhh]

Methinks the pols, communist dems and elitist pubs, are playing the Americans the good old Dog and Pony show.

[Peach]

Actually, I heard the Governor of one of the border states (I've forgotten which one, I was exercising and only partially paying attention) say that it's not a true report and that his state alone has close to 1,000 troops on the border.

Someone else at FNC said this report was clearly not true and had some stats to back it up. I think it was reported on Thursday.

[dinok]

From the White House to the dems to republicans in the senate to Wall Street, the hope is that we conservatives who want border control drop dead.

Bill Clinton said it all depends what the meaning of IS is.
George Bush says it all depends what the meaning of AMNESTY is.

If Clinton had tried to pull this stunt, we would be screaming from the rooftops. But when GW does it, most republicans look the other way.

[MNJohnnie]

Source for you claim? I say you just made your supposed quote up. Sorry Democrat "Virtual Campaigner" your attempt to spread DNC "Hate Republican" propaganda fools no one here. You can waddle back to Deluded Unglued now.

[ohhhh]

[If Clinton had tried to pull this stunt, we would be screaming from the rooftops. But when GW does it, most republicans look the other way.]

As the dems and the pubs move further to the left, the conservatives are the only ones left who look at the consequences of not discerning the intentions of our misguided la la land politicians.

He hee he
10,000 too many? Ok, Vincente.
We'll announce just 6,000.
But we'll only send a couple hundred at a time, Buddy.
He hee hee



Yeh, Vincente, we're still doing catch-and-release. Playing up the 'catch' part; downplaying the 'release' part.

[TomGuy]

The remaining forces _ 1,816 _ are in training somewhere

Per some reports, the NG are rotating in and out at about two-week intervals, so how much training do they need?

This is another hoodwinking, similar to Congress approving 2,000 but Bush administration only hiring 200 new border agents for last fiscal year.

And Karl Rove is a featured speaker at the upcoming LaRaza convention. How's about dem apples?

(Sen. Brownback of Kansas is, too.)

Bush's plan for stemming illegal immigration by using National Guardsmen in a support role called for 2,500 troops to be on the border by June 30, and 6,000 by the end of July.

A good example of a Bush wet dream.

[ohhhh]

[Actually, I heard the Governor of one of the border states (I've forgotten which one, I was exercising and only partially paying attention)...]

It seems that one can not get the truth from politicians and leftist controlled communist media. The internet is a source of information the American communist controlled media has not fully infiltrated yet. Can't believe politicians and leftist media anymore, they make Tokyo Rose look like a choir girl. So much lying going on.

[Wuli]

EVERYONE, EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION

100% OF THE PURPOSE of GWB's 11th hour announcement

to put troops on the border

WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT,

NOT ANY ACTION THAT MIGHT FOLLOW

NOR HOW MUCH ACTUAL ACTION WOULD FOLLOW

NOR HOW SOON ANY ACTION WOULD FOLLOW

THE PURPOSE WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT PERIOD. (GWB: "SEE I HEAR YOU GUYS" - purpose achieved, he believed (wrong))

Its all in the promise (case closed) not in the delivery (everyone will foget).

Everyone except the GOP base that is.

[ohhhh]

[And Karl Rove is a featured speaker at the upcoming LaRaza convention. How's about dem apples? ]

And the typical American citizen still believes the propaganda that the right wing politician still represents America and our constitutional republic form of government as our forefathers intended. Ann Coulter got it right in her new book "Godless" concerning the liberal left, but the right wing is leaving the dictates of the constitution also, are they not?

[tiki]

I live on the highway to Mexico, there are that many around here. There can't be that many humvees moving w/o drivers.

[Osprey]

This is why we don't trust the Government! They been pulling this $%#t for the past 20 years on Securing our Boarders.

We want nothing less than Securing our Boarder First. Then enforcing current law which fines companies that hire illegals.

Don't trust the Senate or the President on this issue. They have sold our sovernty out and now we have to deal with illegal invaders.

[B4Ranch]

Illegal immigration Control and Border Security -The jobs George W. Bush doesn't want to do.

[SMM48]

6000 National Guard troops to the border was a sham to begin with. Once you read the "fine print" you can come to the conclusion it was meant to TRY to appease the anti-ILLEGAL immigration crowd (count me in).

[processing please hold]

Careful now, dinok, you seem to have johnnie-boy biting at your ankles. Mustn't say anything negative about Bush. Besides, you've only been here since 2000, J-boy, has been here since '04.

[Logical me]

Someone else at FNC said this report was clearly not true and had some stats to back it up. I think it was reported on Thursday.

That's what I heard also. I'm not happy with California and think Arnold S. is becoming a stone nut for his Guard contribution. Hate to say it since I voted for him. Is what I hear about his lack of sending more Guard than the few he sent correct?

[OnRightOnLeftCoast]

So-called (after endless recounts) Gov. Christine Gregoire said she will not compel any of the state's National Guard troops to serve on the Mexican border if they're asked.

"I'm not going to force any National Guard member to go there...if I have volunteers who want to, we will support their request."

Should we expect anything less when you "elect" a limp-wristed-milquetoast Leftist to the People's Republic of the State of Washington (California-lite)?:

Yup, let's just pick and choose what issues we will participate in. Is it a case so she won't anger the infestation of illegals in her state. If so, she cowardly puts the monkey on the backs of the Guard by letting them make the choice -- "...anybody feel like getting up this morning to protect the borders...?"
