Illegal Immigration Watch: California Governor Schwarzenegger Warms Up to Idea of National Guard Deployment

President Bush (R) is met by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after arriving on Air Force One at the Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, California April 21, 2006. Schwarzenegger, initially opposed to Bush’s border security plan, said on Wednesday he was ready to commit National Guard forces to help police the Mexican frontier.

Reuters: Schwarzenegger prepared to send Guard to border

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, initially opposed to President George W. Bush’s border security plan, said on Wednesday he was prepared to commit National Guard forces to help police the Mexican frontier.

Fellow Republican Schwarzenegger, who faces re-election in November, had criticized Bush’s plan to station up to 6,000 National Guard troops along the 2,000-mile (3,200-km) U.S.-Mexico border to curb illegal immigration.

Yet a day before the former movie star is to hold talks with Mexican President Vicente Fox in Sacramento, Schwarzenegger gave his clearest signal yet that he would support Bush’s plan to use the Guard in a support role for the U.S. Border Patrol, at least for now.

“I will make it clear to President Fox that I oppose the using of military for law enforcement troops,” Schwarzenegger told a news conference in Sacramento. “However, I am prepared to commit the California National Guard troops in support of border patrol operations.”

“However, as I say, it has to be on a temporary basis.”

Previously, the governor had complained that the state’s Guard was overstretched because of the war in
Iraq and because of natural disasters at home. He also had called the idea a “Band-Aid solution.”

The truth of the matter is that Schwarzenegger prefers to pander to Hispanic voters and really wants to do NOTHING – much like the President. He will tell the President of Mexico Fox today that this is a “wink wink” temporary measure and when the heat dies down in D.C., California will go back to “open borders” as before.

Deployment of the National Guard is a President Bush ruse/fraud to provide some GOP Senators “cover” in order to support illegal immigration AMNESTY. A plan that will pass the U.S. Senate today.

However, the pandering of GOP politicians nationally and in California will not be forgotten.

NOT ONE DIME OR VOTE.
