if you think National Guard to the border is overreaction

quote:

---

Border sheriffs slam Perry's plan as 'political,' not what's needed.
..

sheriffs said spending money to hire more deputies and police makes more sense. Lucio said deputies, police and the U.S. Border Patrol work well together and that they have been able to handle the small uptick in crime along the border.

why yes, they're doing a bang up job aren't they,, I can certainly see why we should just "give them more money".

The problem is that the system in place puts them on a bus to various parts of the country to be fed and housed at our expense.Why would we want to throw any addition money at that shitshow?

So your solution is to have the national guard stop them in their tracks at the border? Do you realize how long that border is and how many troops it would take to patrol it the way you envision? Not going to happen and we'll still have the same number of people who make it across and are entitled to a judicial hearing before being deported.

Border Agents have deportation authority for illegals caught within a 100 mile range of the US border and less than 14 days in country. So National Guard can hold them, call a border agent and send them right back. Law has been in effect since 2004

The word that liberals love, that's killing our country.

That argument doesn't hold water bro. We have troops on many borders across the globe, but don't have them on our own border. That's a problem.

It costs a lot of money to mobilize and deploy the Guard and, at best, it's a very temporary solution. You can't keep them permanently assigned to the border. The sheriffs are right that the money would be better spent building on what's already in place.

the national guard on the boarder may be a solution, but I think there needs to be a way to prevent people from crossing or border without anyone knowing. IF people come into this country than are caught you aren't fixing the problem.

There's a strange thing that happens when you pick people up here and send them right back to the other side.... after a few attempts, they quit coming.

You're right it's not true


Homeland Security officials described the immigration courts — which hear pleas for asylum and other appeals to remain in the country — as sluggish and cumbersome, saying illegal immigrants often wait more than a year before being deported, straining the capacity of detention centers and draining critical resources. Under the new system, immigrants will typically be deported within eight days of their apprehension, officials said.

Immigration legislation passed in 1996 allows the immigration service to deport certain groups of illegal aliens without judicial oversight, but until now the agency only permitted officials at the nation's airports and seaports to do so. The new rule will apply to illegal aliens caught within 100 miles of the Mexican and Canadian borders who have spent 14 days or less within the United States. The border agents will focus on deporting third-country nationals, rather than Mexicans or Canadians, and they are expected to begin exercising their new powers on Aug. 24 in Tucson and Laredo, Tex.

Governors mobilize the national guard for flooding. Having a ton of illegals pour over the border, and using the Guard to keep an eye on things, doesn't seem like an overreaction at all IMO.
