Can someone please post the bill number. I want to make sure my congressman is aware of this bill and encourage him to sponsor this bill..

The Southern Boarder apparently has ~ 20k agents. To help out it would be good to surge the NG to 40K on the border for a year and see how that works out.

Barack Obama has already made it clear he won’t deport any illegals under current law, so he will just ignore this law also.

Why pick on the National Guard. Those guys have jobs they have to keep and they have bills to pay with their salary. The National Guard is for Emergency use. Put the Marines on the Border , or the Army. With ammunition and orders to shoot to kill.

I dont like this idea. Congress would be overstepping their bounds. The President is the commander in chief and shouldnt have congress ordering him where to put any troops.

Why doesn’t the governor of Texas send HIS National Guard to the border?

And if gutless wonder Obama says anything about it, tell him to go pound sand!

What’s Obama gonna do? Send the U.S. Army to attack the Texas National Guard? :-) Send the FBI in to arrest the governor of Texas? :-)

A coward is a coward - Obama ain’t gonna do nothing but WHINE!

Way to go Ted Poe!!!

1969 miles of border x 5280 == 10,396,320 feet.

For 10,000 troops, each would have to cover at least over 10,396 feet of border. Almost 2 miles per guardsman.

I love it!

Thanks Justaham.

Rep. Ted Poe (R.-Texas), who served for 30 years as a Texas prosecutor and judge before being elected to Congress, introduced legislation last week designed to force President Barack Obama to deploy a minimum of 10,000 National Guard troops at the U.S. Mexico border for the specific purpose of patrolling the border and intercepting aliens and smugglers attempting to cross illegally into the United States. The legislation would allow the president to deploy more than 10,000 National Guardsmen, but not fewer.

..Judge Poe was one of the few who stood against GWB and for Compean and Ramos--very principled

Constitutionality notwithstanding, this will keep attention on the border issue--democrats and RINOs hate this...
