What do you think Obamas answer to border security is National Guard will not be allowed to stop illegal alien?

During a Friday press conference, U.S. National Guard Bureau of Communications Jack Harrison announced that the 1,200 National Guard troops that are supposed to be sent to the U.S./Mexican border “will not be doing direct law enforcement.”

Harrison described their duty along the dangerous border to a reporter with CNS News, saying: “The two mission sets are criminal analysts and enter-identification teams.” He continued: “I can tell you that guardsmen will not be doing direct law enforcement on the southwest border.”

So, just as we suspected…the National Guard troops will be used as file clerks and observers, trained to retreat or step aside when drug and human smugglers invade this country.

Of course, we have seen this type of useless political window dressing before.

President Bush announced in 2006 that he was sending National Guard units to the Mexican border to assist with border enforcement.

However, before issuing the order, he placed a phone call to then- Mexican President Vicente Fox, to reassure him that he was not “militarizing the border.”

Bush made good on his promise to Fox with the hamstrung rules of engagement under which the Guardsmen were operating.

On January 3, 2007, an armed paramilitary group of six to eight men, crossed the border into the United States and over ran a National Guard post located near Sasabe, AZ. The Guardsmen from Tennessee quickly packed up their equipment, jumped back into their truck, and fled the scene. That sorry action by the Guardsmen clearly demonstrated what our president instructed them to do...NOTHING!

Tennessee National Guard spokesman Randy Harris told the Associated Press: "The soldiers did exactly what their mission was, to pull back if they're approached by armed personnel coming across the border."

In an award ceremony which was closed to the press, the Tennessee National Guardsmen involved were presented with achievement medals for their actions described their spokesman as a “tactical retreat.”

The office of then Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ) released a report to the Associated Press which praised the Tennessee National Guard unit for fleeing the scene in the face of an armed incursion into the United States. The report said: "We see this as a triumph of the training, discipline, and professionalism of the Guardsmen performing their mission."

The current Guard deployment under Obama is scheduled to last up to one year, and promises to be just as pointless and embarrassing as the last.

Just another antics of the liberal Democrats who really do not want to do anything to effective stop illegal immigrations. The National Guard is being use as a facade to make it look as if the liberals/the Democrats are doing something about the illegal immigration, albeit not really.

Of course B0, that real real real bad smell coming out of the White House, is a disaster and a disgrace. It is up to the American people to stand up and stand together to end the racist la raza nazi KKKlan with a Tan MESSYcan illegal ALIEN invasion.

i think it is a waste of taxpayer money however they act as extra eyes on the border what would happen if they set up 50 cals about 100 yards apart and told the ol mex pres that he better tell his people to stay home as there would be one warning to halt and no second chances could be done with even less snipers hummmm but i guess that wouldn't be political correct better to let them in and give them free stuff than help our old poor and sick oh well idle thoughts from an idle mind this is my opinion and i hope i don't offend anyone who wishes to sneak into my country but it would add sport for both sides if they get in you could say they earned it
