Thats gunna cause even more problems, Mexican drug cartels with AKs and RPGs shooting at our National Guard, nothing good will come out of it. If we just enforced our current immigration laws I think the problem would go away for the most part.

As much as I like to downplay other services, especially the army, I still feel it would be uniquely similar to the fighting they saw in Iraq. Pop shots, drive by's, IED's, and other cowardly actions against those troops in a desert climate. I feel they could handle business.

saw a few of these comments under the article, that really sums it up...

counseling liberals Tue May 25, 2010 11:59 am LOL does anyone believe this lie? Please! someone pinch me, I don't believe a word of this article

Mosul Tue May 25, 2010 12:00 pm PDT What a joke and a waste of money. There is nothing the troops can really do given the current laws and situation. More feel good BS in an election year. A vacation on the border and being taken away from the family to sit is not what the American people have in mind. I am just guessing here.

LillyWhite Tue May 25, 2010 12:09 pm PDT Wait--Obama sent them. Whose side are theygoing to be on?

Donnalyn Tue May 25, 2010 12:10 pm Does anyone remember the last time troops were deployed, specifically the incident when drug smugglers and members of Mexico's Federal Police attacked a Nat Guard lookout position? the troops had to flee farther back into the US as they weren't authorized to use live ammo. I agree, what a joke and that so-called congresswoman should be ashamed of herself for pandering

Feds dont really want the border secured, if they did it would have been done already. We are being played for fools, "we the people" want the borders secure but do they listen, hell no they dont. They have there own agenda folks and its called the North American Union.
