    Ap...President Obama has authorized the call-up of as many as 1,200 National Guard troops across the U.S. border with Mexico to assist with border protection and enforcement activities there.

    This is just political posturing on Obama's part. Adding National Guard troops will do NOTHING for the 12 million illegals already in this country. He's just trying to distract people before he rolls out his amnesty program (handing out free citizenships for illegal aliens aka new democratic voters).

    OK 1,200 NG troops at a cost of $500 million. I did the division and that works out to $416,666 per national guardsman. WOW! Maybe I should join the National Guard!!!!!

    OOPPSSS........I made a mistake!!!!!!

    I used a regular calculator, not one of those democratic party calculators. It would've worked out to $10,000 per guardsman and the remainder goes into campaign funds.

    This just in: Obama reverses decision to send national guard troops to protect border: http://www.nowwhatyasay.com/fake.html

    If Obama said "I think rush is correct about everything he says" ya all would still be complaining.

    That's a lot of money, but without knowing the duration of the deployment it probably divides alot smaller than that. For example, what equipment is being shipped to support these troops? Where are they going to live? what are they going to eat?

    As an example. I spent two months in Arizona, living in a hotel, driving a rental car, while supporting the DHS mission. I cost the government something in the area of 13K just in per diem and travel expenses, not counting my regular salary.

    I'm not saying the costs are not out of line, just saying it isn't money going into the pockets of Guardsman.

    Maybe AZ should just have a friendship festival - it worked for us with the Canadians - they haven't tried to burn down DC in almost 200 years.

    Not 500 million for the National Guard

    Time to break out the calculators again...

    http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0510/052610cdam1.htm

    The House Appropriations Committee's version of the fiscal 2010 war supplemental spending bill includes $500 million in new spending for security efforts along the Southwest border and allows $177.2 million to be transferred from other accounts to pay for the deployment of National Guard troops there, according to a draft of the bill obtained by CongressDaily.

    The border spending in the supplemental bill, which the panel will mark up on Thursday, comes as President Obama authorized the deployment Tuesday of 1,200 National Guard troops to secure the border.

    As part of its efforts to shore up security along the Mexican border, the White House also needs $500 million in supplemental funding to pay for border protection and law enforcement activities.

    As usual.
    More Obummer smoke and mirrors.

    US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.
    The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.

    The National guard is not part of the Army or Air Force.

    Was it against the law when they patrolled NYC after 9-11 or NO after Katrina?

    If ordered by the President, they are "federalized." and subject to the Act.

    Title 32, United States Code applies
