After the NG shoots a few Mexican's and a shootout begins over the border : What happens to the 12 Million Mexican's here in America? Are they with us or targets?

From what I'm hearing the NG will be unarmed.It sounds to me,from preliminary reports,that Bush is just throwing up a smokescreen until after the elections;similar to the Arizona Govenors' political ploy.
You have to be kidding. There IS a difference between Ignorance and Stupidity..

I really wish I was kidding.I am a life-long republican and voted for Bush three times(counting his father).I am seriously reconsidering my support of the Republican Party.[:(!]
Need I say more?
Now, about that draft....
No more! My heart has always told me that I'm a Libertarian... The very conservative, constitutional, don't step on me type. My first reaction when someone tells me I MUST do something is... Why? Give me a reason based on sound footing and I'll gladly comply. Tell me that "they" or "them" said I must and my reaction is likely to become unpleasant.
So... My gut tells me that I'll no longer vote for an incumbent. Better to have new blood than leftover establishment. I support term limits for everyone. One time in office and that's it. No exceptions, except for maybe a sitting president in time of declared war. No favoritism, no privileges, no private pensions, and no other benefits beyond a reasonable allowance for having to put up with Washington, DC. Nobody is so important in our system that he cannot be replaced.
And if my vote doesn't count this time, there'll be more like me the next, and even more the time after that.
In other words, if a candidate wishes to represent, then his/her wish must be to serve. Such service should carry nothing in the way of perks or privilege. Turn out the bums! Get rid of the Kennedy clan and their ilk. Make it unprofitable to be a career politician and our government will immediately improve.

That would make it awfully hard to get real talent to run for office. The only people who would run would be the power-hungry, and I'm not sure I want people like that representing me.

Yup.
Until finally enough will throw off the brainwashing to make a difference.
National Guard Not Expected to Patrol Border
AP - 31 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - National Guard troops tapped for duty on the border with Mexico will not chase down illegal immigrants but instead will play behind-the-scenes roles in support of border guards, officials said Monday. Among the tasks they are likely to perform over the coming year: training federal Border Patrol guards, building barriers near the border, improving roadways, providing support for aerial and ground surveillance, analyzing and sharing intelligence, and providing communications systems and transportation, the officials said.
I respectfully disagree. We have VERY little talent now. What we do have is greed and hunger for power.
Term limits would discourage those who aspired to selfish interests. I believe it would encourage those of us who are both selfless and qualified to SERVE the electorate.
SERVE is the watchword. PUBLIC SERVANT is another. Either way... Public officials who are elected to SERVE those they were elected to represent.
No personal agendas allowed.
I know... Wishful thinking, but we need to start somewhere.
Well I guess it WAS wishful thinking..

EXACTLY what i have been saying. There will be NO troops protecting American citizens.
Yes,I voted for him too,but he's not going to tell me it's raining when he's pi**ing down my neck and expect me to believe him. He is going to do nothing. His own party has said as much on all the news channels all weekend.
It's all smoke and mirrors folks. It's only happening until the mid term elections so the Republicans don't lose any spots. 5000 troops fixing flat tires and changing oil aint going to help anything. MANPOWER is what is needed to apprehend any and all illegal immigrants.

Ditto.....add me to Nord's side too!
Business as usual except the lines will speed up.

Nothing will change..save perhaps a new crop of slimy Democrats will assume office..replacing the slimy Republicans presently occupying that office...
Wonder what part of "SOLD DOWN THE RIVER" people have such a hard time understanding.
Indeed, it comes as a shock. That is a part of growing up. Time to mature, people....
The border patrol ain't allowed to have teeth, an order from Congress. Now National Guard are being sent by the President to the Mexican border to do absolutely nothing along with the border patrol.
I think theyy made a movie along these lines called 'wag the dog' to make Americans forget about the depression they are entering as the dollar loses it's value from all these imports with no tariffs. No jobs in America except for those that are willing to work for less than Federal law prescribes.
The Department of Defense made it mandatory that everyone get "Trafficing in persons" training...also known as slavery. An Airmen wrote a General asking why the General supports slavery by letting massage parlors that have smuggled women working there advertise their business in the local military weekly newspaper.
The General replied it was the cheapest way to do business. (letting local advertisers pay for the newspaper)
Atleast he didn't lie.
When they get tired of standing behind the scenes, working for whatever wage they can get, there will be revolution when they try to take that they "deserve". Their gangs are coming.
