Who voted to block the troops to the border?

We need other representatives to push for this. Call your Congressional Rep (especially if Republican) and push them to introduce bill to put 20,000 troops on the border to block ALL that try to enter the country illegally.

You know the number. Call! Congressional switchboard 202 224 3121

I have a feeling this is probably a bipartisan effort, as both parties fully and completely support illegals.

Time to establish an “American Border Protection Militia”.

A plan established and agreed to from the beginning.

Obammie the Commie would never have opened his lying mouth if there was a snowball’s chance in hell that congress would approve it.

Now he can say, “I did what I could. And now you can see that I can be a hawk in addition to the divine peace-maker.”

Blah blah blah.

This administration is playing out like the worst 007 script ever written, only the characters are less authentic.

Can someone explain to me how/why obama and the senate can order National Guard troops anywhere in America (unless they federalize them - which takes some time)?

National Guard soldiers work for their state governors.

6000 isn’t enough. Someone pointed out that the US has about 20,000 troops to guard a the Korean border...something like 180 miles...but they’re only willing to commit “up to” 1200 to protect the entire US border? Why are democrats more willing to protect the South Koreans than they are the Americans?

Barack Obama will send UP TO 1200 NG to the border, is what I heard him say today. Does that possibly mean one or two?

Who voted to block the troops to the border?

The Dems and some RINOs, natch. But this can be used against them in the Nov. elections.

A solid, if not overwhelming majority of Americans wants to control illegal immigration. And now the Dems are on record as voting against this; also many have villified Arizona SB 1070.

Let them reap their karma come the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November 2010.

Hey...each Governor can call these troops up themselves...why are the feds being asked?? Do the states not have to pay the cost if the feds do it?

And there’s always militias...just like we had in the 1700 and 1800s.
