SIERRA VISTA — On Monday, the first group of 532 National Guard members headed to Arizona’s border area with Mexico to help the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

In October all the guardsmen — soldiers and airmen — will be deployed, with another 28 providing administrative support, Arizona National Guard spokesman 1st Lt. Valentine Castillo said.

This entire fiasco is mccain smoke and mirrors. He knows that the last group
of thousands had zero impact on illegals. Now mcshame wants to spend billions
more for nothing and kelly supports wasting more money on zero returns.
Harmony you are correct this waste is unacceptable and I agree with you that
mccain needs to be voted out for this fiasco and political posturing he has
undertaken again at the expense of tax payers. Send the guard back home, they
have no business here!

Title: Blame game

The blame for the border security fiasco needs to go where it belongs: on the
federal government (as governed by the ruling elite) and not McCain and
Jesse. It is the federal government that is shirking its responsibility for
securing this nation and it is the federal government who is spending what we
don’t have. Every expenditure is marking up to each citizens bill. We owe
more than we will ever be able to repay. The only way to stop this insanity
is to clean out the current administration and the ruling elite in congress.
The republican party also needs to be cleaned out and replaced by true
patriots. There has got to be some leaders somewhere, right? Prove your
comments, IM4TRUTH, if you can!

You can ask her to prove stuff all day long, but she’s too cowardly to
respond with any facts. She is a hit and run poster. She also has poor
reading skills since she is blaming McCain for the troops but yet couldn’t
comprehend how the articles stated it was Obama who signed the papers to send
them there. If she actually had any facts to support, she would actually
respond to the many requests.

Mohawk: I agree with your statement about IAM4TRUTH. It’s very difficult to
find any truth with anything she publishes.

Title: Hello

Hello, this is Obama’s doing. It’s Obama’s plan to pacify Arizona. I believe
McCain wanted more BP and we are still recruiting.

Title: LOL..

where was your concern over the Dems blowing billions of taxpayer dollars
with stimulus? You libs moaned about the cost of the Iraq war but it turns
out that the Dems have blown more money in under two years than the whole
Iraq war. Hypocrites, the lot of you. P.S. Quit trying to copy Republican
slogans—drilly, spilly? A three-year old could come up with something
better. Unless you aren’t heating your house or driving a car, you are
sucking up as much oil as the rest of us. You are just ignorant about the
procurement. Can liberals NOT be original?

Yeah Windsor I would love this person to actually back up her posts with
facts. We all have facts posted here but she always hits and runs because she
is just another dumb liberal sheep. Also you are correct. I bet this lib
drives a big SUV or some other gas guzzler that uses just as much oil as the
rest of us. She is obviously using electricity to post on here which some of
it is produced using oil and other dirty fuels so she has no problem with
that. If this person really wanted to stop all oil production then she would
not be posting here or driving a car or eating food that was delivered to the
store by oil and other things this person buys. In fact the plastics use to
make the computer she is using were made from petroleum products so unless
she is Amish then she is a liar.

Title: NG's Arrived

Shout for joy folks, our borders will now be secure! How, you ask? Why with
more eyes and ears that’s how. Securing the border, while we have a war
against terrorism, does not mean manning the borders of this nation with
overwhelming fire power. It means building a mosque near where over 3000
Americans were murdered, right? Why do we need NG’s uprooted from their
families do be eyes and ears on the borders when you could get the unemployed
for a fraction of that cost. even retired military would probably want a
piece of that action and so would other Vets.

IM4TRUTH on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 06:45

Walt really… who feeds you this junk? Thousands were on the border several
years ago and that did not secure the border. Walt, you will NEVER have a
“secure” border. That is political fantasy world speak that you fell for! The
mosque is allowable because we have religous freedom, regardless of the
religion. Stop trying to make the Constitution a bad thing. Live with it or
move out old lady!

“you will NEVER have a “secure” border” LOL. Still waiting for source
material that shows: Jesse Kelly is in favor of Amnesty. Source Material that
shows Jesse Kelly couldn’t “hack” the marines. Source Material showing I am
against Muslims “exercising their 1st rights”. Source Material showing Obama
added more agents to the Border than Bush did. Source Material showing
according to the law felons and terrorists can now Legally own a firearm.
Source Material showing I,” have destorted the truth and the numbers” ( I
believe you meant “distorted”). Source Material showing that the Bush tax
cuts (and not greed) caused the recession. Source material from_THIS
YEAR_showing the unemployment rate at %3. Aside from those few examples (I
have many, many, many, many, many more) of you just making things up. We are
supposed to believe that you actually have an idea what you’re talking about
THIS TIME? LOL!!! Yea, you have shown you are just so honest and know what
you’re talking about. LOL!
