Bush to Propose Guard Troops for Border

WASHINGTON (AP)

 

 

In a move designed to win support for immigration reform from get-tough conservatives, President Bush plans to send thousands of National Guard troops to help secure the Mexican border.

 

Bush, in a speech to the nation Monday evening, will propose using the troops as a stopgap measure while the Border Patrol builds up its resources to more effectively secure the 2,000-mile line between the U.S. and Mexico, said two White House officials speaking on a condition of anonymity before the president is scheduled to speak at 8 p.m. EDT.

 

In a signal of the high stakes on the issue, Bush was to make his case in a rare prime-time address from the Oval Office. He planned to follow up the address with a visit Thursday to the border in Arizona.

 

The broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and the cable networks Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC planned live coverage of the speech.

 

Bush is to call for the troops to play a supportive role to Border Patrol agents, who would maintain primary responsibility for physically guarding the border. Bush also will mention the need for immigrants to learn English and assimilate into American culture if they are to become citizens.

 

But lawmakers have expressed concern about overextending a National Guard force that is already tied up in Iraq. And Mexican President Vicente Fox called Bush Sunday to express concern about what he called the possibility of a "militarized" border between the two nations.

 

On Monday, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said the move does not represent "a militarization of the borders."

 

Appearing on CBS's "The Early Show," Bartlett said Guard forces sent to the area "will not have law enforcmeent responsibilities or powers. They will be there in a supportive role. ... It's about a constitutional responsibility to enforce our borders."

White House spokeswoman Maria Tamburri had said earlier that Bush made clear to Fox that "the United States considered Mexico a friend and that what is being considered is not militarization of the border, but support of border capabilities on a temporary basis by the National Guard."

 

Bush also assured Fox that any military support would be administrative and logistical and would come from the National Guard and not the Army, according to a news release from Fox's office.

 

Bush hopes adding the National Guard troops to make the border more secure will persuade congressional conservatives to approve a broader immigration bill that would include his primary objective - creating temporary work permits for foreigners to enter the country and take low-paying jobs. That idea is favored by the business community, but many conservatives want a tougher approach on illegal immigrants trying to sneak into the country.

 

The officials who discussed Bush's proposal would not say how many troops he wanted to use, except that it would be in the thousands but less than 10,000 - an estimate being discussed at the Pentagon.

 

About 100 National Guard troops are serving on the border to assist with counter-drug operations, heavy equipment support and other functions. Some lawmakers say an increase is unwise.

 

"We've got National Guard members on their second, third and fourth tours in Iraq," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. "We have stretched our military as thin as we have ever seen it in modern times. And what in the world are we talking about here, sending a National Guard that we may not have any capacity to send up to or down to protect borders? That's not their role."

 

Hagel said the bill under debate in the Senate that he helped write would double the 12,000-strong Border Patrol force over the next five years. "That's the way to fix it, not further stretching the National Guard," he said on ABC's "This Week."

 

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said there may be a need for troops to fill in while the Border Patrol is bolstered. But he did not seem confident that the National Guard could take on the extra duty.

 

"We have stretched these men and women so thin, so thin, because of the bad mistakes done by the civilians in the military here, that I wonder how they're going to be able to do it," Biden said, also on ABC.

 

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., defended Bush's plan. He said lawmakers who doubt that the National Guard could take on border patrol duty are "whining" and "moaning."

 

"We've got to secure our borders," Frist said on CNN. "We hear it from the American people. We've got millions of people coming across that border. First and foremost, secure the border, whatever it takes. Everything else we've done has failed. We've got to face that. And so we need to bring in, I believe, the National Guard."

let them build their walls and watch when many Americans want to flee to Mexico to avoid being bombed in by Iran Mexico will remind them of the Giant Invisible wall they put up and no one will be allowed to cross and will be shot dead on the spot i mean this can go both ways right so let it let them get a taste of their own medicine you see in many cases when things go bad here people migrate to other countries it the natural order of things migration and when we put a stop to migration we set ourselves up to be destroyed that's what i think for me it not a race issue more then it is a an issue having to do with our entire human race.....so will there be walls along the Canadian border i mean this whole thing was a terrorist prevention plan but its turned into an illegal Mexican immigrant plan i still dont get why they keep switching the story up and the reasons for putting this wall up i mean i see many inconsistencies in the reasons why they wish to do this and that's becasue our Government is so fucken corrupt its not even funny anymore its deadly

the government isnt putting up any walls. if anything the minuteman are putting up walls on certain parts of the border on private land.

 

i read the whole article above again and did some more searching today. its a political ploy. they might be sending national guardsmen to the border, but in supportive rolls (ie. desk jobs, maintenance jobs etc) and will not be armed or doing any patrolling.

its soley to get the anti open border republicans to support amnesty.

 

the only 2 arguments i can see in support of having "open" borders is on a pure ideological basis that you dont want the central state to have enough power to patrol its borders and that with true free trade, labor should move like goods, easily over a countries borders. another is if you need to get out of the country, you should be able to get out as quick as possible... ie. build the wall, it keeps you in just like it keeps people out. however, i dont buy either. the reasons to restrict illegal immigration outweigh every argument for open borders 20 to 1.

I would just like to insert this idea into the discussion. Does not the possible use of national gaurd as a supplement police force further incredulate the protections we have made in our own government to prevent such? In 1878 we set out to make sure that the executive branch does not have the right to use military force to execute domestic policy, unless specifically heralded by the congress or constitution. Regardless of the actual role that the national guard will play in protecting the boarder, the fact that it is on paper as presidence of using Military Force as as police force allows for such future acts as the smothering of dissention against executive desicions among the american public through military force. I am not contending that this is the short term goal of the administration, but thing about the long term implications of such a thing.

 

 

A while ago I was on infowars and found something that relates to this quite well. While I don't ever really read too much into what Alex Grey says, there was one relevant thing I think should be noted. There was a section on his site dedicated to the concept of militarizing the police force and showed pictures of "ongoing excersizes" in which to train such military personal to take on these domestic policing roles. I can not state the validity of the pictures, but there are pretty messed up. Scenes of american troops standing around people dressed as civilians within barbedwire detention centers. Anywho, my point is this. That the precedent has been set twice now, katrina and now the border issue, of using military to perform police duties, is way fucked. Our legal system is based on precedent and to determine that which is legal in regards to such things as the limitation of military for posse comitatus in the future may be quite blurred because of these actions now.

Also, as a person who has lived in texas their entire lives. I have never witnessed this issue of immigration to be such a huge deal. We recognize full well that our economy is dependent upon the in/outflow of such a low wage labor force. Anyone else notice that this all of a sudden became america's number one issue, at the same time that large amounts of information about the nsa wire tapping became public? Coincedence I think not. Listen to the language used when Immigration policy is being discussed by pundits and beaurocrats on television. More specifically, today on fox news I listened to someone say that the american public has never been this concerned about any one issue. The day before, Hadley, a security advisor to the pres, stated that this issue is what concerns the american public most out of anything else right now, and thats why the president is acting on it. cough...bullshit...cough. I tend to think this question of immigration reform, as with many other obvious issues in america, was picked up merely as a sponge to absorb a large amount of public interest away from such dire things as the loss of individual privacy from the government. But I will not go on anymore bout the wire taps as I will move to that thread.

your right, the Posse Comitatus Act forbids police powers of the federal government. actually, it was understood during the constitutional debates that this was the case... that the feds were to have no police powers. but look at it now... CIA,etc etc. for shits sake, look what happens if you dont cross the t's on your 1040 form.

there was a huge fear of a standing army during early part of this country. the argument was that when a despot gets into power in the white house he will march the army into a state and relieve the citizens of thier liberty. HOWEVER, the times to allow for police powers were during times of war, invasion, etc etc. during this times, the militia's could be called (which every able bodied male 16-45 is still a part of, and with all the equal rights laws on the books, probably woman are too) and volunteer armies could be created.

 

the act which conviently was passed AFTER federal occupation of the south during reconstruction, does not simply mean NO POLICE POWERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, it means no police powers unless congress or the constitution authorizes. usually war time, etc etc is when things like this are broken.

 

I will argue that if the constitution allows for a socialized welfare state to be created for the "general welfare" of the american people, then surely with citizenship being under the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the feds also having the duty to protect against INVASION, there is a place for militarization of the border. personally, im fine with the states guarding the border with thier "militias." but as the border is a matter of national security, sovereignty, among other things, i see no reason the border cannot have troops on it, if the job isnt getting done.

You know he's right about what he says. I have never read anything you typed except one little sentence that jumped out at me and told me you're an idiot. After that I further confirmed my hypothesis by reading only the first line of your posts. That hasn't let me down yet.

 

People who offer advice on how to get your ideas a bit more exposure are trying to include you and your ideas, not attack you. Instead, like a 5 year old, you claim that you will simply do it more and louder. Like the 15 year old girl on Cops the other night, wanted to be taken to jail instead of staying at home grounded because she ran up the cell phone bill and mom was mad. Just because you're headstrong doesn't mean you're right, in fact, in this case, you're wrong. If it really becomes an issue around here then it is YOU who will pay.

 

This is my word.

i agree.

 

there are plenty of folks around here who use CAPS all the time, others who type succintly but obviously have problems with spelling, people who tend to type in rants, etc.

on a message board, your point is always framed by diction and grammar. whatever you have to say can easily be demeaned or reinforced by the tone

 

 

'Earned citizenship' likely key to immigration debate

In Oval Office speech, president backs legalization process

 

Tuesday, May 16, 2006 Posted: 0921 GMT (1721 HKT)

 

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The issue of "earned citizenship" -- or "amnesty," as opponents of the proposal call it -- is likely to be at center stage as lawmakers take up President Bush's call for immigration reform.

 

Bush's approach to immigration, outlined in an address Monday night, combines tougher border enforcement with a guest-worker program.

 

Trying to navigate the election-year minefield on the issue, Bush called for the short-term deployment of up to 6,000 National Guard troops in a supporting role along the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

And, for the first time, he endorsed a controversial proposal to give illegal immigrants already in the United States a path to work toward citizenship.

 

"The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions -- and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display," Bush said in a 16-minute speech televised from the Oval Office.

 

With conservatives in his base calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration, the president conceded that "we do not yet have full control of the border" and called on Congress to fund "dramatic improvements" in manpower and technology along the U.S.-Mexico border. (Watch the political implications of the debate -- 1:43)

 

Bush called for a 50 percent increase in the number of Border Patrol agents; construction of security fences and barriers and high-tech surveillance devices along the border; and more money for state and local law enforcement in border states. (Key points of plan)

 

Under Bush's plan, the number of Border Patrol agents would rise from 12,000 to 18,000 by the end of 2008.

 

But in a nod to America's growing and politically vital Latino population, Bush made the argument that a guest-worker program is necessary to gain control of the border and relieve the "enormous pressures on our border that walls and patrols alone will not stop."

 

Every legal foreign worker would get what Bush said was a tamper-proof, biometric identity card that would make it easier for employers to determine an immigrant's legal status.

You know, I think perhaps the issue of immigration is perhaps the only arena in the entire world of foreign policy where Bush might have an actual understanding AND well thought out plan of action. If there was ever anything Bush was qualified to speak on, this is it.

 

I'm so pissed that my afternoon nap and much sleeplesness colluded to let me sleep through the address last night, yet still wake up to see the opening credits of Deal or No Deal.

 

Now I gotta search for a transcript.

Oh hell yeah, the best time to recognize a lie is as it falls directly from the mouth of the speaker. There are so many things other than words I look to. Body language and stammering just don't come across in a transcript. You have to listen to them say it in my opinion.

Oh man are you kidding me! You people can do what you like and think what you want keep going on about the way i type ....you see i can care less if you think your helping you can say that's what your doing but all you really care about is yourself ..... i dont come on here to be told what to do and i dont come in here to tell people what to do. i just say what i have to say and im out

im not going to spend extra time on something i dont care about for the sake of pleasing everyone else the people i want reading what i write are the people who dont care about my lack of punctuation those people are just a little bit open minded then you are ...........oh and your so very wrong about people reading what i write very wrong and don't think you are always fully right on everything becasue you arnt people have different perspectives on different subjects of how they conduct themselves on the internet that they pay for and in a forum they volunteer to post in.

i suggest you stay on the immigration topic and get off my case cause we can go at this for days and if that's what you want then you must be a 15 yr old girl not me your the one with a problem......

 

yes im headstrong but so are you .....

you continue to argue with me and although i am headstrong i am the first to admit when im wrong and in this case im not wrong no one is we all have our idea on how things should be but life isn't fair is it and we all have to live it ........

 

"there are plenty of folks around here who use CAPS all the time, others who type succintly but obviously have problems with spelling, people who tend to type in rants, etc.

on a message board, your point is always framed by diction and grammar. whatever you have to say can easily be demeaned or reinforced by the tone"- !@#$%

 

oh yea the word succintly is spelled with a c after the n..... just thought i would help.

 

i dont have a real problem with punctuation and grammar nor do i have a problem with sentence structure and rarely do i ever use caps

i just choose to type that way becasue i dont want to spend time correcting everything i type and making it suitable for you or anyone else i type what i want and how i want and that's it .

online at least on paper it's a different story on paper i take time to correct what i write but on here i just simply choose to not do it ..

 

 

at this point i have said all that i need to say becasue arguing over this is only a waste of time we will never agree and i have come to understand that way before this even started....

 

now i dont have anymore to say on the topic of immigration so i will just quit posting in here . Goodbye Thanx for sharing ......
