Default Governor's Statement On National Guard Border Troops

Our Governor is completely, unequivocally, certifiably cuckoo for mexico


http://gov.ca.gov/press-release/15246/

Quote:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after news reports that President Barack Obama will authorize the deployment of up to 1,200 National Guardsmen to the U.S.-Mexican border and is requesting $500 million in funding for enhanced border protection and law enforcement activities:

“Previous federal programs to provide additional resources to the southwest border states were successful, and I’ve been lobbying the federal government to restore the funding needed to provide more security along our border. It is encouraging that President Obama is committed to providing more resources to secure the border and I look forward to seeing the final proposal. We must find a permanent solution to our broken immigration system, and I will continue to call on the federal government to take action on comprehensive immigration reform.”

Governor Schwarzenegger has long believed that more border patrol agents are needed to reduce illegal border crossings and end the influx of narcotics, and human trafficking. In June 2006, he issued General Order Number 2006-01 directing the California National Guard to temporarily support federal efforts to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Leading up to the ending of Operation Jump Start, the Governor sent a letter to President Bush in February 2008 requesting that the program be extended because the operational objective was only half complete. This letter was followed by a joint letter sent in April 2008 with Governor Schwarzenegger and the governors of Arizona and New Mexico urging Congressional leaders to support an extension until the federal government's operational objective of 6,000 border patrol agents had been added to the force. In April 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger again joined the governors of the southwest border states in sending a letter to Congressional leaders, this time urging the full funding of the National Guard Counter-Drug Program to add additional personnel to the four southwest border states and ensure that the funding remains sufficient to reach a significant decline in border drug trafficking and violence
