ATF? No, sorry. We're sending 2000 from CBP, but I haven't heard anything about ATF.

Well, then to me that's inexcusable on his part. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's impeachable, but Congress does need to give him a shot across the bow for this. He can take men from the Border Patrol and CBP, two of the most understaffed agencies in the entire federal system, and which have about the most important job outside of the DOD, but he can't spare a single individual from an agency that has never done squat except harass people for not committing any crimes against others. Totally unacceptable.

Nice rant, but just because I'm not aware of any ATF moving to the area doesn't mean they haven't.

What could ATF do that the Marines and National Guard can't?

I would add that the 2000 CBP employees are volunteers, in response to Secretary Chertoff's request, and they are not all coming from the ports of entry.
