The Obama Administration plans to withdraw National Guard troops from the Texas, New Mexico and California borders by the end February under a new Southwest security plan, even as turmoil in Mexican border cities grows, according to documents obtained by The Washington Examiner.
A letter sent to various members of the Texas Congressional delegation from Texas' Gov. Rick Perry's office says, "In February, 2011, the Texas, New Mexico, and California National Guard forces that were deployed to the border in September, 2010, under President's Obama's Southwest Border Augmentation Plan, will have 30 days to complete a total draw down of forces."
The roughly 550 troops will have the month of February to redeploy back to their units, Texas Congressman Ted Poe told The Examiner. Troops would not be pulled off the Arizona border under the plan, and about 100 of the troops would re-deploy there from other states, officials said.
Poe received the letter today. His office confirmed with Department of Homeland Security officials that the plan came from the administration.
"I'm surprised the president would so quickly remove troops from Texas. They're not supposed to leave until July," said Poe.
The congressman recently traveled to Falcon Lake, where the ongoing investigation into the death of American tourist David Hartley's is ongoing. Tiffinay Hartley, 29, reported that her husband had been shot while riding his jet ski.
"It's apparently a plan the Obama administration believes will save money. We don't need fewer National Guard we need more. We need to pass the Border National Guard Border enforcement act that would put 10,000 National Guard on the border," Poe said.
The 286 Texas National Guard covered by the plan have only been fully operational since September and October of this year. They will have spent less than six months conducting operations along the border, an official with the Texas Governor's office said.
Obama's original Southwest border plan would have ended in July, 2011. According to officials familiar with the new initiative the "Administration budgeted only $135 million for the entire deployment."
The funds, which were originally budgeted to those three states, are expected to be reallocated to allow Arizona an additional 100 troops from March through September, 2011 or, "until such time as that money is exhausted," the letter from the governor's office stated.
"This new plan was designed without any input from the States, and without any significant DHS resources being deployed to the border since the beginning of operations," it said.
Poe said there is "no question about it, the federal government should cut back on spending but not national defense."
The letter to Texas lawmakers said, "Even under the new plan their is still no guarantee that Arizona will have their troops until September. In fact, the Administration has made it clear that once the $135 million has been spent, all operations must cease and desist immediately."
The DHS Border and Custom's Protection agency would "restart the ATEP (Alien Transfer and Exit Program) program that brings detained
illegal aliens from other states to Del Rio where they will be released to Mexican officials across the border," according to the
letter.
Mexican news outlets have documented a sharp rise in violence, including drug related murders, in cities near the U.S. border.
"Border violence is on the rise," Poe said. "And Washington is incorrect when they say the border is secure."
The days of the Republic as my parents knew it—certainly as my grandparents knew it . . . has been long gone.
My generation’s grandchildren—the relatively few that survive—will see Christ’s millenial reign ushered in and a much better USA.
However, the chaos, bloodshed, treason and massive evils here and globally between now and then . . . as the Bible says . . . will be worse than ever was or ever will be again on the planet. That’s a huge statement.
His bosses have already shoved us to that point and are shoving further faster and faster.
By design.
THE BOSSES IN THEIR OWN WORDS over the last 166 years:

Naa...these 'guards' were pretty much 'display only'. I don't even think they had bullets.
Those who have any clout were compromised, funded, raised up by the globalists before they took office.
Any good guys with any serious clout were compromised, threatened into compliance and/or otherwise neutralized shortly after or before taking office.
The rest are of no consequence to the bosses.
Most of the congress critters have not given a flip about their constituents for many decades.
They are only interested in power and wealth and the globalists have promised and delivered on lots of both—for a heavy price.
Everyone is just a cog in the machine to the bosses. Everyone. That’s the way satan runs things.
They have a way of being very persuasive. When they threaten to wipe not only you off the face of the planet but every extended relative of yours . . . it tends to get one’s attention.
I wasn’t so sure we’d have a 2010 SElection.
Thankfully, to whatever good, we did.
I’m even more skeptical we’ll have anything like a normal 2012 SElection . . . or even if the Republic will be holding together very remotely well at all by then.
It is clear that Reid ‘won’ by very corrupt and skillful ballot stuffing, essentially. Alaska may be similar. Certainly Tom Mullins in NM suffered from such.
The bosses were not about to lose their decades long death grip on the Senate wholesale—regardless of what it took.
Sigh.
Obama needs to be arrested and tried for treason for his failure to protect us from an armed invasion from the south.
I just hope Gov Goodhair keeps his promise and adds additional troops on the border. We were talking about this on the way to work today and one of my coworkers said he would volunteer to go there for as long as it takes to keep us safe.
Obama is thinking...He is God, we are scum.
I hope Repubs start impeachment proceeding for deleriction of duty. Failure to protect our borders.
True but it is headed that way anyway, I hope we can prevail, and that the US in a non communist state will prevail until Christ returns..
.....As if we didn’t know it before, we have a surrender monkey in the WH....
“Surrender monkey” my eye!!!! obama is in COLLUSION with illegals, Mexican drug-runners, and islamic terrorists!!!!
Impeach obama, secure our border, and stop the massive Third World immigration!!!!
Just found this article in a search. I might post a thread.

“Detroit-filmed ‘Red Dawn’ remake prompts Chinese outcry, delayed due to MGM bankruptcy”
“...Beijing’s largest newspaper, the state-run Global Times, in June ran two editorials on the film, suggesting “U.S. reshoots Cold War movie to demonize China” and “American movie plants hostile seeds against China.”
While conspiracy theorists have suggested the U.S. government attempted to block the “Red Dawn” in the face of Chinese pressure...”

INTERESTING. THANKS.
imho
The Book indicates that every nation will be under the AC’s rule.
Their plan is a bastardized form of communism wedded to a bastardized form of monopolistic pseudo capitalism.
Welcome Quix.
Not sure, but tend to agree, that doesn’t bode well for Israel....and places the US in a will be destroyed zone, by the Lord..
I beleive Roland Buck in
ANGELS ON ASSIGNMENT was right when he said The Lord told him that American would be disciplined severely but He would insure that she survived.
I also still personally believe . . . that The Lord largely raised the USA up
as a beacon of His Word and to spread His Word . . .
and to protect Israel for a time.
And, that a time would come when
1. He would show that even a more or less ideal form of government—by sinful man—would still become corrupt and evil—that ONLY HIS GOVERNMENT would be safe and reliable.
2. That HE ALONE WOULD BECOME ISRAEL’S PROTECTOR AND PROVIDER.
