1200 National Guard troops sent to the US-Mexican border

Reuters --

President Obama sending 1200 National Guard troops and is seeking $500 million for security after demands from both Democrats and Republicans to protect the border.

"The announcement comes as the Democratic president seeks Republican support for a sweeping overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, and seeks to rally opposition to a tough new immigration law in Arizona that has caused tension in U.S. relations with Mexico, without seeming soft on illegal border crossings."

I think is the president bowing to the the fact that the majority of Americans polled are actually in favor of the Arizona law and do not favor amnesty.

However, to only send 1200 troops to help protect our nation's border is a joke and also a sign that the security of our country which is the president's responsibility as part of his oath of office is nothing more than a political farce.

The American people in my opinion are getting tired of the politically correct crowd and biting their tongue on opinions on issues that they feel important such as the illegal immigration.

It's wrong, and people are starting to say enough is enough.
