bush sends national guard to border

yesterday, president bush said that he plans to send up to 6000 national guard troops to the us-mexican border.

he said he was determined to gain control of the border. participation for the southern states bordering on mexico is strictly voluntary.

he also supported a plan to legalize 12 million illegal immigrants, giving them the possibility to eventually become legal citizens. now, the waiting period for unskilled people to become legal citizens is about 18 years.

although some republicans labeled this plan as amnesty, bush said that it wasn’t realistic to round up millions of people and send them back to mexico. he wants to find middle ground between mass deportation and automatic granting of citizenship.

although bush said that mexico is a neighbor and a friend, mexico has reacted with anger to the plans of bush to send national guard to the border.

many think that the national guard will do little in stopping those determined to get into the us, others say that it does not take into account the reason why so many are crossing the border.

bush said it was not his intention to militarize the southern border.

president fox of mexico and president bush both agree that the illegal immigration issue needs an integral solution, not a police solution.

border patrols get tough

yuma county sheriff's deputies will now be patrolling the arizona-mexico border in a surplus british military armored personnel carrier.

the $18,000, nine-ton, six-wheeled vehicle is needed because of increased attacks against deputies and u.s. border patrol agents by drug and migrant smugglers, sheriff's and patrol officials said. the agencies frequently work together.

the border patrol's yuma sector also has a new armored car, this one a 4 1/2 ton vehicle picked up from the baltimore police. it's set to go into service in a few months.

law enforcement officers in the border region are increasingly subject to rock throwing, gunfire and being rammed by fleeing vehicles.

in the first six months of 2005, 167 assaults, 104 rock throwing incidents and six cases of officers targeted by gunfire have been documented by the agencies in the yuma region, sheriff's maj. leon wilmot said.

in august, a rock thrown by an illegal immigrant forced a border patrol helicopter to land west of yuma. the rock hit the rotor blade of the a-star chopper, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing. no one was hurt.

wilmot said he hopes the armored personnel carrier deters the violence, and stops those who try to ram their way to freedom.

"hopefully, when they see this, they'll know they just can't run into this and get away," wilmot said.

border patrol spokesman michael gramley said federal officers already use "war wagons" pickups with detention compartments in the back and metal grates on the windows to protect agents from rock throwers.

but the new military vehicles will be the first capable of withstanding gunfire.
