"it's a political gesture that will do little to resolve immigration issues." Says Ted Kulongoski, "within the conservative wing of the Republican Party, which this president is trying to appease, it may be good politics. But it's lousy policy."
Kulongoski is concerned because 900 national guards troops are getting ready to be deployed to Afghanistan and is the beginning of fire season.
"They are soldiers; they are warriors," Kulongoski said. "They signed up to go and look for Osama Bin Laden, to fight the war on terror. Now they are being told they are going to have to go and sit on the border of Mexico."
Kulongoski also said Bush's plans use guardsmen at the Mexican border does little to promote US interests.

Of course Teddy the K disagrees with troops on the border. They might stop his and Guillermo Bradbury's potential voters from getting to Oregon.
