    He gets a fifth. and not a 40 🙂

    Hate to break it to you, T, but they're not going there to shoot Mexicans with their 50 cals.

  • What will they do if they find somebody that ALREADY crossed the border illegally? Send them along to Homeland Security who won't (necessarily) act upon these folks.

    I'm not sure this is worth the $500M. Toothless reaction to a festering situation, IMHO.

    I agree....at $20 bucks a round...at least for us mortals, they will use their hand guns. 😉

    Long overdue move.

    I have felt for some time that each state should have a 2-3 NG units deployed on the souther border on 90 day deployments....stick 8000-10,000 troops down there and the illegals will dry up.

    1,200 isn't enough to cover the nearly 2000 mile border...though there are good entry points and places people will dry up if they try to cross there....McCains 6000 seems more workable.

    Seal up the areas that aren't 60 miles treks across Mexican/USA desert land.

    I don't see it as sending people on death marches......just don't march.

    Maybe mortar fire and landmines will work? 😆 Wimpy heck, dont you know how to have a laugh?

  • I know. Shooting unarmed people in the desert. Hysterical.

    unarmed? what machine guns don't count?

  • That shows you how little Heck understands about reality.

    "shooting UNARMED..."

    How many times have the rest of us read or heard what is going

    on with the drug trade? and armed escorts traveling with illegals

    to the border?

    Heck, that was one of the most uncalled for and unjustified whacks

    at somebody's cred you've ever taken.

    And that is really saying something, since it's nearly? all you do on this board.

    i don't get why Bush didn't order that wall slammed up (except everybody around him

    was pleading with him not to do it since the lying sleazy dirty libs would seize on it,

    and use "racism" as a political wedge)...

    but Obama refusing to enforce the law? And now, his dirty regime is

    lying about the Arizona law, and this token too small a number of troops

    is to try to yank the rug out from under Arizona, and save his popularity. again.

    Not workin. His popularity just plummeted to 44 percent.

    ("yeah, but Cal, Obama's approval rating is 100% in Soros' and the ACP's offices !)

  • oh.....no !

    Those 1200 Guard troops sent to Arizona?

    They will NOT BE USED TO STEM ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

    They will be used to stop only DRUGS AND ARMS from crossing the border.

    What a corrupt move to stem the valid criticism of his regime by Obamao.

    Really not good, really, really bad:
