US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.

WTF is the matter with these people?
My thoughts exactly. No branch of the Federal government should ignore any Federal law. They should refer the case to the appropriate law enforcement agency and move on to their core task. Such contempt for the law. It’s a very bad sign. It basically gives too much discretion to the Federal Government (a government of men not laws).
These poor troops will all be awarded the medal for valorious non-engagement.
Last time they sent the Guard to the border (2007) they sent them UNARMED.

The troops will be facing inward rather than towards the invaders.
What a cynical scam. No wonder he didn’t mention this to the republicans as their ‘luncheon’ the other day.
He didn’t want to answer questions about the details.
Call me cynical, but it sounds like he will be using the troops to inspect American vehicles going south (after all, the liberal meme is that we are supplying guns to Mexico)
Cynicism... Realism... What’s the difference?

Yep! They will not be used to stop the invasion of our country.
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15576
Repelling invasion by a foreign military is authorized by the Constitution. So is responding to a request from the Governor of the State.
You may not remember the military attack on Pastor Koresh and his congregation in Waco. You can google it. Nobody was prosecuted for that.
I’m surprised that Obama won’t be employing them to AID illegals in coming over the border. The NG can hand out food, water, provide medical care, even give out cash payments and rides to the nearest major (American) city.
That's exactly what he's doing. With guards protecting their crossing unless they are carrying guns or drugs it's essentially aiding them.
Anything short of stopping everyone crossing the border IS aiding them.
Don’t forget the 500 or so million dollars he’s appropriating for this sham.
“What a cynical scam. No wonder he didn’t mention this to the republicans as their ‘luncheon’ the other day.

They were dumb enough to show up.
They invited him, if I am not mistaken.
So what harm was done. All the commentary afterwards made him look like the jerk he is.
Everyone who watched him on CSPIN knows he’s an empty suit and a bully.
Ping
“So what harm was done.”
Obama made monkeys out of each and every one of them
