Democrats stop bid to send 6,000 troops to border
For the record in case the Link turns bad:=========================== Democrats stop bid to send 6,000 troops to border Associated Press - 5/27/2010 10:40:00 AM WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's Democratic allies in the Senate have repelled a move by presidential rival John McCain to send an additional 6,000 National Guard troops to the U.S-Mexico border. The Arizona Republican says the security situation along the border has deteriorated so badly that 3,000 guard troops are needed just to help protect his state. But McCain failed to muster the required 60 votes for his plan as the Senate continued debate on an a war funding bill. Obama on Tuesday promised to send 1,200 Guard troops to the border to support efforts to block drug trafficking and temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until more agents can be trained. Former President George W. Bush sent thousands of Guard troops to the border in 2006. =======================================

Obama does NOT want to control our borders!
If he gets his amnesty wish, there may as well NOT BE ANY BORDERS!
May as well start calling us "Mexican United States of America, ex USA!" ... or maybe "United Mexican American Union States" "UMAUS" ... looks like it's coming!
How can this giant Giveaway be stopped?!
