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."

1. Janet, what the fuck are you doing??? Why are you caving into the

Xenophobes here in Arizona??? Why aren't you attacking the Coyotes or the employers that hired illegals??? Jesus Christ, this is a fucking band aid on an artery wound!!!

2. People are really frustrated as well they should be. No one can move

the federal government to do their fucking job and start arresting the business owners who hire and exploit illegal aliens, no one knows how many are actually here and no one can come up with a plan do deal with what that unknown number is.
