Have fun sorting through this one...

This is why I called the program an election year sop.

[Sometimes A River]

Anyone who doesn't know that our GOP President is 100% pro open-borders is an IDIOT.

[investigateworld]

Kind of gives one a glimpse of why no conservative can trust ANY politician on border issues.

[edcoil]

Great, why not just tell the enemy our troop deployments.

[cripplecreek]

Looking like one more lie from Washington at this point.

[La Enchiladita]

What is WITH the blue helmets?!!

[soccer_maniac]

We have no problems securing the Afganistan and Iraq borders

[A CA Guy]

How long is this additional training supposed to go before the other 200 hit the border?

Unless they are there within the month, this will turn badly for the President and those like Arnold that limited the National Guard on the border.

[mystery-ak]

I think they need you down Mexico way...lol...

[kittymyrib]

If true, this is pathetic. The President can't even come up with a decent-sized fig leaf to hide the naked deception he is trying to pull on the conservative base of his party. Shame on him.

I'm having fun reading the headline Only 483 Guard Working on Mexican Border

---

The headline reads like a guard, at ONLY age 483, is working the border.

[upchuck]

It depends on what you definition of "on the border" is.

[Pox]

The reality of the "situation" is, the average American has heard there are now National Guard on the border, and the "details" are moot. The average American does not care about numbers, they are "happy" that "something" is being done, or at least the appearance that something is being done.

That is what D.C. is banking on, along with the administration. IMO.

[middie]

The clap-trap from the president about the Guard being sent to the border was intended to send the message that we'll now have enough bodies on the border to stop the mass infiltration. Of course, like virtually everything issuing from the White House, it was all sizzle and no steak, storm and fury indicative of nothing substantive and only for public consumption and false appearances. Neither he nor the interest groups to which he owes and practices fealty want to prevent a single common laborer from being available for work detail in packing plants, the agricultural fields or cleaning up building sites. It's been called ''smoke and mirrors'' in other posts, but that designation of the egregious breach of faith with the American people doesn't even come close to reality.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 483 Guard Working on Mexican Border

[LowOiL]

BTTT...

[upcountryhorseman]

Didn't The President say: "no more catch and release" of
illegal aliens? Well, They're still doing it!

National Guard: Doing The Job That American Presidents Don't Want To Do.

[NRA2BFree]

Bush is NOT serious about border control. He never has been. The country is about to be destroyed because of illegal immigration, and he could care less! It's HIS 'OPINION' that it's good for us, in spite of what WE THE PEOPLE want. By the time he realizes down the line just how stupid amnesty was, it will be too late and we will be a clone of Mexico!!
