(WASHINGTON DC) The only thing President Obamas deployment of 1200 National Guard to the southern border will accomplish is press coverage for the Administration on border security according to House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter. The Presidents proposal is about 24000 men short of whats needed. And they need to be armed with orders to shoot if fired on" says Carter.
6000 National Guard wasnt enough when President Bush sent them in 2007 and 1200 will do nothing other than provide the current Administration with a photo op" said Carter.
Many of our National Guard are combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan and they know exactly how to put an end to these killings on our border.
The next time a gunman raises a rifle in our direction these guys are ready and able to light em up. Once that happens a couple times well start to see some law and order again" said the former judge & current House Republican Conference Secretary.
The former Texas judge says assigning 1200 troops to 2000 miles of lawless border is a non-starter.
President Wilson sent 100000 National Guard in 1916 when violence spilled across our 
southern border under his watch and got the situation back under control" says Carter.
25000 is a good number to start with now but to suggest just 1200 shows a very disingenuous position on securing our border against armed drug gangs shooting our border patrol officers and now even American civilians on their own property" said the Congressman.
Seems like the only securing going on here is the political security of Presidents Obama and Calderon. We need to start putting the security of the American people back in the picture" says Carter.
