There have been reports that President Bush is considering putting the National Guard on the border with Mexico to stem the tide of inbound illegal border crossers.
It would probably be a waste of money from this Administration, given the fact that they are still pushing for a guest worker program and the Administration is in lock-step with at least half the Senate over granting amnesty for illegals. If that's true, then the troops may well be under orders not to interfere with illegal border crossings.
The Bush Administration's track record on illegal immigration hasn't exactly been stellar and they are reacting to the public backlash instead of being proactive and dealing with the problem. The proof will be if the President announces amnesty for the illegals already here during the President's Oval Office speech on Monday.
This move is more electioneering to prop up a faltering Presidency and a failing Senate.
