Has... has anyone even told him of the US Economic situation? Seriously, did that memo slide under one of the couches in the Oval Office?

If he invaded central/south America, then the illegal immagration problem would be solved. :p

You guys are so dumb. Why are you all assuming that Bush is telling the truth when he claims that this is to keep people out. It's pretty obvious he's just gearing up for the purges. :p

No, retards.

It's to stop people skipping the border to Mexico when he invades Iran and institutes the draft.

No, they'll use the whole 'medical marijuana' thing to justify increased patrols of the Canadian border.

That's if anyone even bothers reporting it.

hahahaha This will do wonders to enlistment!

Seriously though,  use the National Guard - weekend warriors with civilian life who are needed in disasters and UFO landings and stuff - instead of border guards who are trained for this and actually do that for work. NG will absolutely LOVE this.

I bet that this is yet another PR stunt.

lol wtf

The illegal immigration thing is just one big publicity stunt. Think about it, it's all a conspiracy to take the public focus off the real issues! Mind-controlling drugs administered through Flu Shots, collaborations with extraterrestrial organisms for the latest in shower-gel technology, and of course the horrifying secret behind Tic-Tacs... it sickens me...

The "up to" 6,000 Guard members won't make arrests, and they'll be deployed only temporarily

what are they going to do - stare menacingly?

well, two ways this could possibly go, one with more media coverage than the other.

The NG don't need to actually do anything.

If they're just standing around at the easy breach points, immigrants will see them, won't try to use those places and will hit the less covered areas where real border patrols are laying in wait.

The simple process of having US troops visible on the border will be a deterant. And even if they lack the authority to detain people, they can still point their guns at them and make the immigrants think they'll be shot if they don't lay down and wait to be arrested.

It's also possible they're using it as a training exercise for when they ship the National Guard out to patrol the borders of Iraq.

Considering Mexico are soon to legalise personal quantities of just about any drug, I wouldn't be surprised if those Guards are deployed mainly to search Americans on their way back from Mexico ;)

This isn't militarization.

The NG troops are there in order to support the border patrol by building infrastructure, etc. so more actual border patrol agents are freed up to, duh, patrol the border.
