Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday mobilized members of the California National Guard as part of a federal effort to deter drug trafficking and illegal immigration along the border with Mexico.

His order supports President Barack Obama's plan...

Supports? What an odd choice of verb.

This could be the worst bit of reporting I've read in the last couple of hours.

And it's been a tough couple of hours too...

Without ammo? The probably don’t have any weapons either.

Carrying weapons would be insensitive to border crossing cartel members, and wouldn’t promote social justice.

If our people carried guns, it would only encourage the cartel members to carry guns after all.....

No ammo? Wouldn’t surprise me. Napolitano sent the Nat’l Guard to the AZ border as *support* for the border patrol so they could sweep the desert or something. It’s all for show.

It's an empty gesture by a governor who loves illegals to help out a president who loves illegals.

And I can remember when Davis was recalled (I was living in kalifornia at the time) and how so many freepers were singing arnold’s praise. Yet, he’s turned out just exactly the way I figured he would. And those freepers are strangely quiet.

It was a show, that’s all. There is no intention to close the border.
