1,200 Soldiers To Border

From Yahoo News:
"Troops to the Mexican border: Obama to send 1,200"

This sounds exactly like what Pres. Bush did when he was office. I guess the increased violence that is now spilling onto the US side from Mexico is making Obama rethink many things with regards to the border. There was one quote I found hilarius.

"The Mexican Embassy said Tuesday it hoped the National Guard troops would be used to fight drug cartels and not enforce immigration laws. Mexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalize migrants and open the way for potential abuse."

I find it very funny because illegal immigrants are criminals - they entered the country ILLEGALLY! Also no one mentions what the Mexican Government does to illegal immigrants in their country - they arrest them, abuse them and then deport them. I love the double standard with regard to illegal Mexicans in the US - where we are supposed to give them all citizenship.
