Unarmed National Guard Troops on the Border Will Not Work!


The National Guard on the Border is an Attempt to Temporarily Appease the American Citizens!

Placing the National Guard on the Southern Border with “unloaded weapons” is a sham. If no one has checked to see if the Guard will have ammo, I suggest someone do so immediately. I’d bet they will walk their posts with empty magazines and without the power to arrest nor detain illegal immigrants.

A Virtual Fence is the same as No Fence! It's not worth the time, expense, and effort it will take to install it.

This is, I believe, a measure the White House hopes will pacify Americans until the government can think of some other way to grant that Amnesty they are hell bent on granting to the illegal aliens already in this country!

It is becoming clearer by the day that if the American citizens really want the border secured; we will have to do it ourselves. Our government doesn’t have the balls to protect us, as they swore to do when they took the oath of office!

What a pathetic mess!

And another thing… who’s the President of the US anyway? Vincente Fox or George Bush? It’s about time the Oval Office stop taking calls from that small time operator and begin taking calls from it’s own citizens!

Of course, Fox is delighted to unload his poor, and his troublemakers, on the US. He has taken a cue from Castro during Jimmy Carter’s failed presidency. Those petty dictators can smell blood in the water. When they sense a President is weak, they take advantage. Castro did Carter and now Fox is “doing” Bush!

Congress should suspend the Posse Comitatus Act and place the US military on the Southern border with orders to shoot when their commands are not obeyed! Anything short of that is... appeasement and will not work! Appeasement is simply another way to feed the alligator in hopes that he will eat you last!

It is a shame that matters have been allowed to get this bad. But the fact is that the federal Government has shirked its duty so badly, in the past, that we are brought to this dilemma today. They made this bed, now they are going to have to lie in it!

I do not believe the federal government understands just how deeply Americans are angered by this problem they (the government) have created by refusing to enforce the immigration laws already on the books. I don’t think they have any inkling of the seething anger just beneath the surface.

When states, and even counties within states, begin enforcing FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS (because the federal government is unwilling, or unable, to do it) then we are one-step away from anarchy. When states feel it is necessary to enforce laws only the Federal Government has the authority to enforce, then that is open defiance of the Federal Government and it states, publicly, that the Federal Government is no longer needed and the next step is unthinkable. We are THAT close to a serious constitutional crisis!

I expect we will soon see conflicts along the southern border between National Guard troops and US Civilians. The Guard will not be able to enforce the law, as it is unconstitutional. Officially, they are being placed there to “assist” the border patrol. They will have no powers to arrest, or detain, anyone, including those illegally entering the US. Frankly, civilians were doing a better job of it than the Guard will be able to do.

The only way to make this work is to suspend the Posse Comitatus Act, give the Guard full powers of arrest, and arm them with live ammo.

Do you seriously expect this to happen? I don’t!
