From Fox News: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."
From Fox 5:Bloomberg says countries that welcome immigrants prosper.
He says the U.S. has had some "disgraceful" and "stupid periods" in which it tried to close its borders.
Added Bloomberg: "Fortunately, sanity prevailed."
Wow, talk about twisting the truth! We aren't trying to stop immigration. We are trying to prevent a breach of security in a post-9/11 world. Remember 9/11? It was the event that made you mayor. We were thinking of making you president at one time, too, but fortunately, sanity prevailed.

Such as?
You need some statistics there Bloomie, cause your case is weak!
Japan seems to be doing fine - I don't see them taking in many Mexicans!
LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE WELCOME
IF YOU COME HERE ILLEGALLY YOU DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU
ARIZONA IS NOT AGAINST IMMIGRANTS.. ONLY ILLEGALS
gee I didn't think that concept was really that hard
Obama aing doing shit!
The guard is being deployed just to "watch" and "patrol"
The question is:
Watch and patrol who ?
According to Drudge report and Brietbart.com. The troops have orders to not perform any significant law enforcement duties.
Just like George Bush's bullshit.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9FU1TN05&show_article=1
Same shit from a different asshole and perhaps worse.
Let's see what happens when the drug gangs start shooting at them.
Personally I think the troops are being sent to protect the Mexicans and arrest the Arizona's border security.
How many illegals live on Blumburg's his block?
he could care less about safety from illegal alien terrorists at his dwelling. he has 24/7 police protection and guards at his building on the east side.
he should be recalled for his "quisling "approach to the terrorist at time square bombing attempt.
"Personally I think the troops are being sent to protect the Mexicans and arrest the Arizona's border security."
unfortunately I agree with you.
Unbelievable! NOW a President of the U.S. sends the troops in to assist the states.
If that's what it took - then ALL the border states - California, Texas and Florida should follow in suit.
Speaking of aliens, this idiot has to be from another planet. He's out of touch with the common man. Can't call him a law-abiding citizen. The illegals keep this creep rich. He hires them and reaps a profit off of them. Look at all his developer friends. Who do you think they use on these projects? Illegals. I thought slavery was a thing of the past. This guy equates to a plantation master and slave owner. He should be ashamed.
The only time Bloomtard opens his mouth is to change feet!!!
Wade/Deke:
You are a sophistic boobyhead as usual.
Of course Japan does not take in Mexicans.
But they're not doing just fine, as their population ages and the birth rate drops, and that's why they're welcoming lots of Koreans and Brazilians. Who will work. And by working legally they will contribute to the social safety net that takes care of the elderly.
How does Japan treat their illegals?
If that's what it took - then ALL the border states - California, Texas and Florida should follow in suit.

Once again Babs must throw her 2 cents in and prove how moronic he/she is. First Obama will use illegal immigration as an excuse to call out the National Guard. Then maybe it'll be to protect us from a false flag operation. Then maybe the troops will be used to prevent citizens from gathering and expressing their dissatisfaction with government policies. Hey Babs, have you been practicing your Sig Heils today? I think this is a serious issue and I don't like what illegal immigration is doing to this country on many levels but we must take care that the solutions do not impact the freedoms as outlined by our Constitution. Get it?

The Guard is protecting us from foreign invaders.
I have no problem with it.
QC---So you think it is OK for U.S troops to be used in this case. The point is that once you give an inch, you will lose yards. There must be better solutions but you will allow troops to be used like this? Welcome to Nazi Germany folks. I am very disappointed with you Crapper.
Folks, forget Florida, the Hamptons, Italy and the South of France. It's your patriotic duty to vacation this year in Arizona...and you'll have a great time like I did (and will continue to do). The Grand Canyon will make your jaw drop, Sedona red rocks, the ghost town of Bisbee, Arcosanti, saguaro cacti in Tucson, et cetera, et cetera. Don't forget your camera for great vacation memories!

Wasn't it the National Guard that shot a student at Kent State University in the early 70's?

Welcome to Nazi Germany folks.
Godwin's Law in action again!
Some excellent logic there, dude!
I don't recall reading anything in the history books about this country becoming "Nazi Germany" when various state National Guards were called into action for:
1957 Little Rock School Desegregation
1967 Detroit Riots
1968 Democratic National Convention
1992 Los Angeles Riots
Wasn't it the National Guard that shot a student at Kent State University in the early 70's?
More brilliant logic!
So if a burglar enters your house, and attacks your wife, you wouldn't call the police because of the Rodney King incident?
It's your patriotic duty to vacation this year in Arizona...
July baby, July!
Hey Deke---Let's give everyone a gun and let old west justice rule! That'll show 'em!
Constitution? We don't need no stinkin' Constitution.
"The National Guard, the oldest component of the Armed Forces of the United States and one of the nation's longest-enduring institutions, celebrated its 370th birthday on December 13, 2006. The National Guard traces its history back to the earliest English colonies in North America. Responsible for their own defense, the colonists drew on English military tradition and organized their able-bodied male citizens into militias.
The colonial militias protected their fellow citizens from Indian attack, foreign invaders, and later helped to win the Revolutionary War."
Sounds like a continuation of their mission since colonial times.
I don't get the outrage.
QC - it's all the rantings of a morally and mentally bankrupt bunch of fools.
Doubt they ever have read the constitution, federalist papers or anything that explained what we are about.
We are a country of LAWS! Not feelings!
LAWS are constant. Feelings change.
Welcome to the DisUnited States of America. We have a dysfunctional government that is creating and enforcing laws but that's OK. Laws are consistent and interpreted the same each and every time, right?
I don't get the outrage.
----------------------------------------------
Then maybe running this blogsite is overwhelming you.
You folks are really not making any sense.
this man is such an idiot! he wants more money from the federal government on the fear of another attack, but welcomes illegals.. i know his staff reads into this, so please go back to dumbass and tell him then you wonder why the city/state is broke?? illegals are breaking the law and don't pay into income taxes... you do remember that, right? please can someone please make this man shut the - - - - up..
Look, if the National Guard acts irresponsibly, then the focus is taken away from the problem being dealt with. We all know how the media fixates on sensationalism. In my opinion, if you hire an illegal then YOU get punished. If you house illegal person, then YOU get punished. And on and on. I understand your point about the National Guard callups and yes, some were necessary. I was hoping that this issue would be dealt with in a non-military way and call up the Guard as a last resort.
And what about our uninvited guests committing illegal acts? I say that their penalties should be tripled! This didn't just start yesterday and I am incensed that means to deal with this issue didn't begin sooner. Why does everything need to be a crisis before any actions are taken?
it's about time! AZ has to make a stand for the government to finally do something! An officer doing his job protecting the boarders was shot by an illegal thug! i read the illegals are moving out of AZ because of the law and heading to CO.. wow! now they'll be flooded with the problems and they'll have to pass a law.. the illegals need to go home with their children born here or not and apply the proper way to become an AMERICAN CITIZEN! LIKE THE REST HAS DONE IN THE PAST AND PRESENT!
How many millions of African-Americans can say their ancestors came here and followed the legal procedures to become citizens? What's that? You say your ancestors were kidnapped, sold as property and were later granted rights? Go back where you came from, jerks, and let everyone else enjoy their minority-free America!
The extent to which stupid "conservative" douchebags hew to blatantly racist policies of white privilege in some parts of this country is just flabbergasting.
This bill is blatantly un-Constitutional, since it is directly in opposition to the Fourteenth Amendment. (You know, the one that caused a lot of problems after it was passed in a certain part of the country. Now, where was that... Oh, right! The South.) If it passes--and that's a mighty big "if"--it'll never survive a lawsuit.
"Living in the USA is like buying a house. I sacrificed so much to be born into the richest nation in the world. If you think that just because you want to escape a third world dictatorship that you have any right to come to my country to work then you can just go gently caress right off. How DARE you intrude on my RIGHT to work less hard for more money! Be gone you MOOCH. "
You people think you are the only ones entitled to a piece of the pie? Think again.
i read the illegals are moving out of AZ because of the law and heading to CO.. wow! now they'll be flooded with the problems and they'll have to pass a law
.........................................................
Sounds like cancer.
sounds like cancer...
well maybe they should head back to their country and apply the proper way.. or is it they're afraid of the dumb ass who runs that country? why is it ok to apply your laws but he can come to USA and say it's a disgrace.. i say ---- him! he wants the thugs in our country and he likes the illegals work and don't pay income taxes, plus they send home money to his country! we should boycott going to mexico!
Bloomberg says countries that welcome immigrants prosper.
Bloomberg is LOONY!!!
Dumb Ass they are not IMMIGRANTS!!
They are ILLEGALS!! But you love that cheap labor:(
YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME!!
What about all the illegal Canadians, eh?

Yeah. Drudge and Breitbart. Truly unbiased commentators.
"I know some Native Americans that would love to speak with you."
Oh please, drop the perpetual guilt complex.
Little Irish 12 yr old girls were working 15 hrs/day in factories. Chinese laborers were getting blown up by TNT while building railroads. European women were being savaged and had to become prostitutes to eat. We know that.
But, before you get preachy, please tell us what was going on in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and thru Eastern Europe at the time.
I ask only one question of you. Where, at the time, things so kind and settled that we should draw a comparison to?
"I think this is a serious issue and I don't like what illegal immigration is doing to this country on many levels but we must take care that the solutions do not impact the freedoms as outlined by our Constitution. Get it?"
you really need to take remedial English classes - or perhaps ESL.
When the fk did I defend illegal immigration you stupid nutcase?
AND I'll throw in my "2 cents" anywhere and any time I want - free country - freedom of speech . . . Get it cretin?
There she is again. It's all about me BABS!!!! Cretin would be a step up for you!

In 1999, on a camping trip to the American West, I stopped for breakfast at a McDonalds in Liberal, Kansas. Liberal is in the extreme southwest corner of that state, right on the Oklahoma line. It is where Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz hailed from. Quintessential America. I ordered pancakes and my travelling companion then ordered pancakes as well. The clerk yelled to the cook "Un otro pancake!"
1999 mind you.
I'm s-o-o-o-o confused.
That's because you're not in Kansas anymore.
How about this? Any medical professional or facility treating an ILLEGAL immigrant should lose their license if they don't report the patient. Sorry but this is one instance where violating the patient/doctor confidentiality rule is OK. Emergencies notwithstanding, no person living here illegally should benefit from our tax dollars by receiving medical care. The person's country of origin needs to take care of their own citizen's medical needs and not be a burden to this country's LEGAL citizens. Bloomberg needs to mind his own business by the way.
should be ten thousand troops not a lousy one thousand. finally. more troops on the border PLEASE less jack pot babies ripping us off.
I would respond by saying that YOU are the confused one, but that would imply of course that you HAVE a brain -
I'm sorry that I do not fit your definition of a Liberal - my friends and I who are left of center AND voted for Obama ARE SUPPORTIVE of Arizona's decision AND want out borders CLOSED.
That does NOT mean Grasshopper that we should be treating people INHUMANELY.
THAT means a NO. of things - which I'm sure would short circuit your one brain cell to ponder - but it ALSO means that doctors, nurses, and our hospitals TREAT sick and injured people.
Not only is it the HUMANE thing to do, but it is PREVENTIVE CARE for the rest of society. To have a large subculture that is diseased, etc. is NOT IN OUR BEST INTERESTS - for - what SHOULD be - OBVIOUS reasons.
They should build a wall around our entire border. We should ship the Mayor to Mexico or Bermuda for good.
