PHOENIX -- Gov. Janet Napolitano on Wednesday ordered more National Guardsmen posted at the Mexican border to help stop illegal immigrants and curb related crimes.
National Guard troops have worked at the border since 1988, but Napolitano signed an order authorizing commanders to station an unspecified number of additional soldiers there to help federal agents.
Once the funding is approved, the troops will monitor crossing points, assist with cargo inspection and operate surveillance cameras, according to the order.
"They are not there to militarize the border," the governor said. "We are not at war with Mexico."
About 170 National Guardsmen are already posted at the nation's busiest illegal entry point, where they assist with communications, fence construction and anti-drug efforts.
Napolitano did not say how many additional troops would be stationed at the border and referred questions to the National Guard, which did not immediately return a call.
advertising Napolitano has asked the military to pay for her plan, but said she would commit state dollars if necessary.
The governor declared an immigration emergency last summer in Arizona's four border counties, citing security shortcomings by the federal government.

Why don't they just kill the illegal bastards crawling into America? During Katrina, NOLA troops murdered Americans just protecting their own homes.

Because it's not part of FedGov's plans.
Besides they're not coming here for our freedoms, but for our freebies. And they'll keep coming across even if US troops killed every last one of them so long as FedGov holds out the welfare benefits like a carrot on a stick. Take that out of the equation and everything changes.
So stop expecting the feds to protect "our" boarders. Won't happen, period.

Because it is going according to plan. They want their New World Order. Driving down our wages and bulkanizing America fits in with their master plan. I expect more of the same unfortunately.

I never did. That is why I joined the MM last year and attended in Southern Arizona. I thought you knew that.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up.
