While I am an unabashed supporter of immigration, amnesty, guest worker programs and the whole shebang, I do not support illegal immigrants breaching our borders as they please. Securing borders, especially one rife with violence and criminal activity as the Mexican one is, is essential for any nation’s security.
We need to reinforce the Border Patrol with additional recruits and the National Guard as necessary to prevent any further. Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama have deployed the National Guard to the Arizona border, but:
The [National Guard] mission sets are criminal analysts and enter-identification teams. … guardsmen will not be doing direct law enforcement on the southwest border.
So, if the National Guardsmen won’t be doing “direct law enforcement,” what the hell will they be doing? Providing refreshments to the illegals, filling out guest books for our “visitors” and tanning in the Arizona sun?
