“Didja catch whats-her-name’s speach this afternoon?
She said, we are now inspecting 100% of trains GOING SOUTH.”
Hi patton! I didn’t see it, but that sounds about right....we’re sending troops to the border at Mexico’s request to do such inspections with NO immigration control into this country.

Mexico asks National Guard to combat crime and not immigrants
Mexico’s Secretary of Foreign Relations (SRE) requested that the 1,200 US National Guard soldiers sent to the Mexican border by President Obama be used to pursue organized criminals and not immigrants. ”Mexico is confident that the personnel of the National Guard will strengthen the operations to combat transnational organized crime that exists on both sides of the border and (…) not undertake activities directly connected to the application of migratory laws,” said Secretary Patricia Espinosa Cantellano in a communique. In the message, she reiterated that the Mexican government respects “the sovereign decisions” of the US, but demanded that this decision of Obama’s result in “channeling additional resources” to reinforce the prevention of “illegal traffic of arms and cash money to Mexico.”
In a related story, Joel Hernandez, judicial adviser for the SRE explained that the Mexican government has no recourse in the International Court to legally stop Arizona’s new law, SB 1070, for lack of jurisdictional grounds to challenge a state law. Mexico can only assist in US law suits as “friend of the court.”

Illegal entrants can rest easy
Washington, D.C. – The US National Guard sent to reinforce the border will seek to stop “illegal traffic” and not be used to enforce immigration law, the US State Department affirmed today. The Mexican government had requested that the soldiers not be used against immigrants. ”What the president announced today is totally consistent with our efforts to do our part in counteracting violence” and “to halt the flow of dangerous people and property: arms and drugs,” said the State Department’s spokesman, Philip Crowley. ”It doesn’t have to do with immigration. It doesn’t have to do with the flow of certain things that come to this side of the border,” Crowley said,

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. The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.
