Schwarzenegger to order troops to border

By AARON C. DAVIS, Associated Press Writer

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed Thursday to send the California National Guard to the Mexican border, ending a 17-day standoff with the Bush administration, a Schwarzenegger spokesman said.

The two sides had been at odds over whether California Guardsmen would join the effort to bolster the Border Patrol and who would pay for it.

They reached an agreement under which California will contribute about 1,000 Guardsmen and the federal government will pick up the full cost, said Schwarzenegger spokesman Adam Mendelsohn.

All together, President Bush has proposed to send 6,000 National Guardsmen to the U.S. border with Mexico. The overall cost of the multiyear deployment has been put at more than $1 billion.

[jayfish]

21. Money!

I noticed that all the sweet talk about our exhausted troops went out the window as soon as the feds claimed they would pony up the dough for the deployment (and prolly a little extra). That's what I call supporting the troops.

2. A billion here, a billion there....

the printing presses at the mint must be working overtime with Bush in office. I wonder how Americans are going to feel seeing the military at our borders.

[Gregorian]

3. Well that's it then. We can all stop talking about the Mexicans.

Problem solved.



But Arnold, we really need to know the details of your immigration, now. If we're going to get military about it, then it's serious.

[olddad56]

4. no, we can't stop talking about the Mexcians while we are in Iraq

the govt needs all of the diversions they can get.

[Gregorian]

5. Of course.

I suppose it's just in case Iran doesn't work. Sort of a fallback solution.

[olddad56]

8. good point.

maybe we can shoot a few illegal immigrants who are trying to leave this country and avoid the public even realizing that we are invading Iran.

Wasn't this country founded by illegal immigrants. Who then locked the native Americans away on 'reservations'. Great term, Reservations. Almost sounds like we locked them up on a resort, that they needed reservations for. I'll bet they had reservations.... about what was happening to them.

6. Isn't arnie an immigrant.

Isn't his state the one with the most spanish immigrants.

How compassionate of him.

Is he going after what he wants or what the people who elected him want?

[Book Lover]

9. He is conforming to the will of his masters in the Party

They got him elected, after all. He owes the republican machine. He knows he won't get re-elected sans that out-of-California assistance.

[slackmaster]

16. You can be sure of one thing about anything Arnold does

Is he going after what he wants or what the people who elected him want?

It's done with the intent of getting himself re-elected.

[jaysunb]

10. Good !

This will ensure that we will take the Statehouse back in November.

[Raine]

23. Not the way Angelides and Wesley

are going after each other, they are going to make it easy for Arnie to have dirt on whichever of them wins the primary. I'm so disgusted with both of them I have decided to not pick either of them in the primary, I'm leaving it blank. :-(

[jaysunb]

25. I couldn't agree more.

N/T

22. Hmmm, An Austrian sending troops to

protect the borders makes me nervous.

[Orsino]

24. Patriotism is only the next-to-last refuge of a scoundrel, it seems.

When pressed, the real bastards will send out the troops.
