Schwarzenegger Orders National Guard to Border

Schwarzenegger Orders National Guard to Border

In effort to "deter drug trafficking and illegal immigration along the border with Mexico," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered up a large serving of National Guard troops (224 Guard members, to be exact) to oversee the Mexico-California line. CBS 5 reports, "His order on Friday supports President Barack Obama's plan to have 1,200 National Guard troops support federal border protection, customs and immigration agents." The last time Schwarzenegger sent National Guard troops to the border was back in 2006. This comes on the heels of Arizona cracking down on illegal immigration.
