Arizona Governor Jan Brewer responded to President Barack Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano last Thursday night on Greta van Susteren’s Fox News.
"Mr. President, Secretary Napolitano - Do Your Job!" Gov. Brewer said. "Secure the U.S.-Mexico border," she also said.
And apparently Obama heard her.

It sounds good, but you know that the troops will be given the following orders:
1) Troops must provide water to any border crossers
2) Troops must provide medical aid to border crossers
3) Troops must give directions to all northbound border crossers
4) Troops must drive pregnant border crossers to hospital on the U.S. side of the border
5) Troops must assist in transportation of cocaine under guidance of the CIA
6) Troops will not carry ANY ammunition in their weapons

Mr. President, that's a good START. Now, let's talk about fences.....

Hopefully these troops will be equipment with Nuclear weapons, poison gas, napalm and deadly spores. Clean up this border once and for all. If the illegals get hit with napalm, don't put them out, let them burn.

The troops will have no power to apprehend or detain anyone invading the nation - not even to turn them over to the border patrol for processing and deportation. Imagine, hiring security guards to protect your home from robbers who steal your belongings, kill you, and rape your wife and kids. However, you stipulate that the security guards you hire can't stop the criminals from coming in and doing what they do. They can only take pictures of the crimes and have to call yet another security force to come catch them! This is a political stunt and nothing more. And this is not domestic law enforcement....

I'm 100% drug free.
How about YOU laying off the pro-illegal, "sin fronteras" (no borders) tripe for a change?

Does this happen without SB 1070?
