Texas Governor Rick Perry is sending an additional 604 Army
National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in a mission
dubbed “Operation Wrangler.” The troops will join the 1,700
Army National Guard troops already on the Texas border since
last summer. Gov. Perry is calling the move “just the beginning
of a long-term commitment to rid our state of drug trafficking
and human smuggling.
Will the mission make a dent in the
problem,or is this just another example of state and local law
enforcement trying to pick up the federal government’s slack?
What do you think ?

I just hope the new group of National Guard is ready. With what the Bush administration and the U. S. Attorney's office has done with Agents Compean and Ramos; the new agents coming out of the academy are afraid of their own shadow.

under the form, the President does no longer have the potential to deliver troops to guard the border; hence the Border Patrol exists (the President can not installation troops interior of u.s.'s borders). As for the national look after troops, this is Jan Brewer, and not Barack Obama, who has to make that decision. McCain needless to say does no longer understand separation of powers. bill Richardson already did that interior of New Mexico---why won't Jan Brewer? McCain is directing his invective on the incorrect individual; the subject is in Phoenix. Why has the Arizona national look after no longer been deployed---the day purely before this? Curious minds could opt to renowned; bill Richardson's movements place the blame squarely on Jan Brewer, who has failed the ranchers.

It depends on what they are allowed to do. Texas had this great zero tolerance zone by Del Rio last year, that was amazing at driving down crime in the area as well as illegal crossings. If they do something like that and have a truly functioning job, it would work great.

I do not trust Perry at all. He flip flops back and fourth on immigration. The bigger question is will Perry let them have ammo or will he tell them they must run at any sign of danger and call 9-11 for help. The state I live in awarded metals to some National Guard members who were running away from being attacked at the Mexico Border.What you see with Perry is he says's one thing and does another. With Perry everything is the opposite of what it is.

Sure is nice to get some good news,just hope our governor Perry dont get more of our border patrol thrown in prison for defending the border.Unless enforcements are allowed to actually defend the border it wont make any difference.Lawyers like scumbag Johnny Sutton will be waiting to justify illegals and drugs.But I will keep praying for justice.

It's a good start but we need the 20,000 troops that Bush is sending to Iraq , to put on the border . This won't be stopped till something tragic happens there . Then everyone will say , " I don't understand why that would happened "

I think it is another baby step in the right direction. Like the latest raids in the LA area it will get some minds to change. The harder it gets for the illegals to operate without interference the less likely they are to come.

They'd better be armed and ready to shoot, unlike the National Guard!
Mexico stations military troops on its borders to nab illegal immigrants into their country - or take bribes to pass them on to the US border.
I believe if we put armed troops on our border, shoot armed drug smugglers, round up everyone else and send 'em back, raid businesses that hire illegals and send 'em back, the problem can be completely solved.
It has been solved before...

Texas teaches the country good ideals. It is time someone attempts to enforce the law.
Our land should be protected. If you want to come here, come legally or leave.
