Like I alluded to in the other posts on this issue...

I hope the folks deployed are not used in ANY way in the “processing” of what is caught...

If we see a single trooper handing out blankets or bottled water, I will definitely call this whole effort BS...

The troopers are NOT there, and should NOT be there to do that nonsense, leave that to the special interest and charity groups...

They should be patrolling the vegetation line, setting up all sorts of interception points, keep moving, never set into a routine, start being that nagging little thing in the minds of those trying to cross illegally into this country...

I guess if there are any Army Vets out there who can tell me that 1000-1200 personnel, does that come out to be battalion strength, maybe about 3 full companies of troops??? I dunno, my office was on the high seas...;-)

At about 12 million in operating expenses per month, the money spent certainly needs to be well worth it with a severe decrease in crossings, increased apprehensions, and increased deportations...And the deportations need to not be utilizing the 12 million allocated for the monthly overhead...

We are going to see (and should realistically expect) a very quick return on our investment, and see where the real bottle neck will be if this gets implemented correctly...

Otherwise, this is an exercise in activist suppression (our side of the issue) on a fairly public, and visible crisis...

A part of me thinks the damage is already done...And this call for the Guard is a long overdue stunt...

Not that it is a slight on Perry or anyone else involved in the decision to do this...There were tremendous pressures and other issues keeping this from being approached for so long, it seems like we are spinning our wheels...

The proof will be in the pudding when we see what kind of impact this will have in the numbers...

I am guardedly optimistic...
