Using NG Units on our Mexican Border

[82Rigger]

So, what do ya'll think about this plan?

A lot of Democrats (and some Republicans) are saying that it will stretch our already overburdened military too thin.

I don't understand that argument. These units would still be stateside and available which is where they are supposed to be anyway.

I do think it should be a TEMPORARY measure while the Border Patrol is being SIGNIFICANTLY bolstered permanently.

A permanent solution will have to come from Congress, and those wheels move SLOWLY.

Seems to me that using the NG would also be good training for them in counter-terrorist security measures.
