It’s about time. I hope the Military is deployed on the border, as the Drug Insurgency in Mexico is getting worse.
Obama: Troop move to Mexican border under consideration
WASHINGTON — President Obama weighed in Wednesday on the escalating drug war on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that he was looking at possibly deploying National Guard troops to contain the violence but ruled out any immediate military move.
“We’re going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,” Obama said during an interview with journalists for regional papers, including a McClatchy reporter.
“I don’t have a particular tipping point in mind,” he said. “I think it’s unacceptable if you’ve got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens.”
This is a serious situation. The fact that armed groups cross our border amounts to an invasion. If need be, we might have to launch some cross border raids of our own. We must defend our borders!
