band aid is still just a band aid

You have probably read this morning the Obama sended 1.200 troops to the U.S mexican border which is a start. but if you think about it the border is 2,000-mile-long, so lets see thats about one National Guard person ever 1.6 mile if you look at this way its a mere drop in the bucket and at most a poorly placed band aid.what will our National Guard be doing you may ask?The Guard troops will not be involved in law enforcement activities such as arrests of illegal immigrants, but will assist border patrol officers looking for the illegal border crossers and smugglers as well as in intelligence gathering( this from CNN btw).So in other word good readers The Guard is there for show only and for Obama to say see i did something I did what you ask!What we need to do is send 10,000 troops to the border along with a couple of special forces groups to clean out the drug cartels along our border and send a very clear message to the Mexican government clean up the drug cartels take control of your country Our we will.
