Inspired by Obama, Governator Sends National Guard to Cali/Mexico Frontera

18 Jul 2010In Obama’s last speech on immigration, he said with great pride that his administration had more boots on the ground at the U.S./Mexico border than during any other presidential administration. Two months ago, Obama ordered an additional 1,200 National Guard troops to the border to crack down on drug smugglers.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is using the same line to send 224 California National Guard members to back up Obama’s 1,200.
Interestingly enough, the last time Schwarzenegger sent guard members to the border was in 2006, when there was an immigration reform bill was presented in the Senate and died there.
Already we have seen what additional boots on the ground at the Frontera has meant for those crossing and those living in border communities.
Schwarzenegger Won’t Blame Immigrants for Economic Woes

We may watch to much tv, but California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t point the finger at immigration for his state’s budget woes.Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger called it a “big mistake” Wednesday to blame illegal immigrants for the state’s looming $8 billion budget gap, just as Republican lawmakers have proposed a rollback of benefits for illegal immigrants to save money…”There is, you know, always a time like this where you start pointing the finger at various different elements of what creates the budget mess, and, you know, some may point the finger at illegal immigrants,” Schwarzenegger said. “I can guarantee you, I have been now four years in office in Sacramento, I don’t think that illegal immigration has created the mess that we are in.”..
I guess we gotta give credit where credit is due.
