Pres BO promised 1,200 troops to the US border.
Unfortunately, we have not seen them. However, we did get some idea of where the force is headed.
This week, Gov Perry of TX joined Gov Brewer of AZ and blasted Pres BO for the inadequate border policy:
"Arizona would get 524 National Guard troops, Texas would get 250, California 224 and New Mexico 72, officials said.
Another 130 would be at a national liaison office." (Fox)
What exactly are 130 (or 10% of the total) doing at a national liaison office? How are these people going to protect our border?
This is not a deployment. This is a farce.
First of all, we have the troops. In 2006, Pres Bush put 6,000 guardsmen on the border and they were very effective.
Back then, the issue was human traffic.
Today, the real issue is cartel violence and a border that resembles a war zone.
