Arizona Border Encounter Gets Political
Jan. 29, 2007
Excerpt
Four National Guard soldiers from Tennessee were at a lookout post at the border when they were approached by six to eight gunmen wearing bulletproof vests. One of the gunmen came within 35 feet of the observation site, according to investigators’ summaries.
The soldiers contacted Border Patrol agents and pulled back, investigators concluded. The Border Patrol tracked the armed men back to the border but could not locate them. No shots were fired.
Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano, National Guard officials and some state lawmakers defended the decision to call in the Border Patrol, saying the troops are not supposed to perform law enforcement duties. The governor’s office has said the rules allow Guard members to use force when they believe they face an imminent threat and all other means are exhausted.
“I don’t think that it’s up to the committee to negotiate the rules of engagement,” Napolitano said. “Those rules of engagement were negotiated with the National Guard at the federal level.”
The troops were among the 6,400 National Guard members sent to the four southern border states to support immigration agents, and leave the agents with more time to catch illegal immigrants.
The support duties include monitoring border points, assisting with cargo inspection and operate surveillance cameras.
“We don’t apprehend,” said Maj. Paul Aguirre, a spokesman for the Arizona National Guard. “We don’t detain. We don’t transport.”

Just wondering how “effective” these 1200 UNARMED National Guardsmen & women will be. Some of the coyotes are VERY well ARMED. O’bimbos lack of understanding or his lack of interest means the problem & its solving will remain squarely on the folks of Arizonia. Meanwhile Holder threatens suit over a law based on Federal law which he has NOT READ. Somehow this has the making of yet another finger pointing speech blaming it all on.........yep, you guessed it George BUSH!!!
