Earlier this week I wrote about the decision by President Obama to deploy 1200 National Guard troops along the border. It seemed that the President might actually be realizing the problem presented by the tidal wave of illegal immigration crossing into the USA from Mexico. Although I thought that the troop levels were to low, I also thought that Obama deserved credit for recognizing a dire situation.
I take back any credit that I gave him. State Department P. Crowley announced today that none of the troops would be involved in any way in stopping or dealing with illegal immigrants. Mexican president calderon protested to the White House the use of troop to deal with the immigrants and the state department has assured Mexico that nothing like that will happen.
How bad are things when the United States backs down on controling its own borders. Let me be blunt: Who gives a damn what Calderon says? It is the border of the United States and we have every right to control it. Obama cannot ignore his duty to enforce the laws of the USA. More states need to pass Arizona type laws. And Obama??? --- He has to go!
