UNDOUBTEDLY OBAMA WILL FIRE THIS GENERAL FOR HAVING TOO MANY SMARTS!

U.S. GENERAL CALLS FOR ‘MORE TROOPS’ TO SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER

National Guard Major General John Nichols testified on Capitol Hill yesterday, calling for more troops or law enforcement agents to secure the southwest border along with a comprehensive plan for border security that will allow the National Guard to “put forces in the proper place” and actually make arrests. Maj. Gen. Nichols, who serves as the adjutant-general of the National Guard in Texas indicated his support for Gov. Rick Perry’s call for 1,000 troops to be deployed along just Texas’ border with Mexico.


The House Homeland Security subcommittee on border and maritime security held Tuesday’s meeting entitled, “Boots on the Ground or Eyes in the Sky: How Best to Utilize the National Guard to Achieve Operational Control.” Earlier this year, Obama reduced the number of National Guard troops deployed along the southwest border to a mere 300 with the focus shifting from ground observation to aerial surveillance once the technology is available. The number of Guardsmen deployed along the border was at its highest under former President George W. Bush who sent about 6,000 National Guard troops to the border in 2006-2008.

Nichols went on record saying the border is “still a sieve” despite U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s claims that the Obama administration’s approach to border security has been effective.
