Read Gov. Brown's full letter below.
Dear Secretary Nielsen and Secretary Mattis:
Pursuant to your request, the California National Guard will accept federal funding to add approximately 400 Guard members statewide to supplement the staffing of its ongoing program to combat transnational crime. This program is currently staffed by 250 personnel statewide, including 55 at the California border.
Your funding for new staffing will allow the Guard to do what it does best: support operations targeting transnational criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers along the border, the coast and throughout the state. Combating these criminal threats are priorities for all Americans – Republicans and Democrats. That’s why the state and the Guard have long supported this important work and agreed to similar targeted assistance in 2006 under President Bush and in 2010 under President Obama.
But let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission. This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.
Here are the facts: there is no massive wave of migrants pouring into California. Overall immigrant apprehensions on the border last year were as low as they’ve been in nearly 50 years (and 85 percent of the apprehensions occurred outside of California).
I agree with the Catholic Bishops who have said that local, state and federal officials should “work collaboratively and prudently in the implementation of this deployment, ensuring that the presence of the National Guard is measured and not disruptive to community life.”
I look forward to working with you on this important effort.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.

I think Kevin the governor of Oregon has received a big donation from SOROs.
Kevin= touchscreen gave her a new name.
The most populous state in the “union” by far and they can only muster up 400 to help with this massive problem. Ppppffffttt.
He agrees with the Catholic Bishops on absolutely nothing but illegal immigration.
The California National Guard is not the only available option
to send to the California border.
When the National Guard from any state is called to duty,
they can be sent anywhere.
The South Carolina National Guard could be sent to the California border.
The California National Guard could be sent to the Arizona border.
The opinion on deployment from the Governor of the state is irrelevant.

Thanks for posting that link.
I hope Col. Roy Potter is watching!
.
will accept federal funding, don’t trust this nimrod
But wait. The raid,stormy, Russia.
How did this happen?
Is this the firing on Fort Sumter?
Will the US Army engage the California flower troops?
Sounds like he wants to use the military to enforce California laws. Kind of like other communist regimes.
Yeah, they’ll accept the money, then turn right around and direct their state national guard troops to STAND DOWN. Watch for it.
Cut off their funds and they will do what ever is necessary to “comply”. Doesn’t mean they wouldn’t use those Guard members for their own purposes versus what the Feds intend. I Don’t trust Kalifornika politicians one bit.
Governor Brown would not have done this normally. He realizes that even in blue state California the people are feed up with illegal aliens, they are not immigrants. They are illegal aliens. My wife is a legal immigrant and now citizen and she has never been an illegal alien!
He wants to be re-elected. That is the reality of his decision.
Hippocracy runs deep in the liberals.
Jerry is making this political. The fact of the matter is, once Brown gives up control, Trump can do anything he want. Which of course he won’t. They will only be assisting the existing Border Control folks
“I agree with the Catholic Bishops”
Catholic Bishops are also against Abortion and Homosexuality.....
I would argue the California guard will go and get paid and do nothing.
Ultimately, National Guard from other states will be called to replace the enemy that is the California Guard
Brown is no schmuck
He’s old enough to see the writing on the wall
He’s not like that stupid guv chick in Orygun who mouthed off about no guard Not even being a border state
“Catholic Bishops are also against Abortion and Homosexuality.....”
Not all of them, lately
But you are of course right.
Moonbeam “Geezer” Brown only agrees with his buddies when it suits him. On real matters of conscience, he’s on the side of Evil.
>>President Trump should not trust him.<<
Trusting traitors, especially Republicans, is President Trump’s most dangerous weakness. Fortunately for our country he has very few others.
Moonbeam has reached saturation on stupidity....cities are telling him to go to hell....his bubble is about to burst!!!
