He finally read Arizona’s new law [apparently not well enough] and now the President wants to send National Guard troops to our southern border.
Oh, yeah. Open your wallets a little wider… to the tune of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
President Obama told Senate Republicans Tuesday that he’s read the controversial Arizona immigration law and is concerned it would allow for discrimination — but is planning to deploy up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to allay security concerns.
An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Obama plans to request $500 million for “enhanced border protection and law enforcement” and deploy the National Guard troops as needed.
The official said the National Guard would be used to “provide intelligence; surveillance and reconnaissance support; intelligence analysis; immediate support to counternarcotics enforcement; and training capacity until Customs and Border Patrol can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border.”
Isn’t there some ‘fence’ money floating around in D.C. somewhere? Why don’t they just use that and leave us the hell alone? They’re sucking us dry; hell, they’re stealing from our grandkids!

He’s an evil little troll
who sits under his desk (reminds him of his bridge he shared with Pelosi back home) and laughs sardonically waiting for the next opportunity to 
America.

I think they could five hundred million in change in the couches of Fannie May and Freddy Mac. Anyway, the only way that pencil neck jug eared sumnobeech could read the law is if someone typed it out and put it on his telepromter.

Agreed, on both counts!

1) The Border Patrol is already doing this job.
2) This is just imamo’s attempt to make it look like he’s doing something when all he’s doing is trying to spend more money.
3) Didn’t he just say that he didn’t think we needed the Arizona law because all the undocumented “immigrants” weren’t a threat to us?

All very right. Factor this in: the National Guard troops will be unarmed, therefore defenseless. At the border? This will be a bloodbath.

Dear Mr. Obama:
I have no more money. You took it all.
Sincerely,
