We have had guardsmen on the border before, and it didn't solve the problem.

I do think it is a start however, I don't believe it's the end game and we are going to need more resources if we are going to be successful.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFILE: Arizona border - 2006 \u003cbr/\u003e15. Various of border patrol agent detaining an illegal immigrant on the Mexico US border \u003cbr/\u003eUnder pressure to take action, US President Barack Obama is ordering 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the US-Mexico border, officials said on Tuesday, pre-empting Republican efforts to force a congressional vote to send the troops.\u003cbr/\u003eObama will also request 500 (m) million US dollars for border protection and law enforcement activities, according to lawmakers and administration officials.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president's action comes as chances for comprehensive immigration reform, Obama's long-stated goal, look increasingly dim in this election year. \u003cbr/\u003eObama has been all but compelled to do something since Arizona's passage of a tough illegal-immigration law thrust the border problem into the public spotlight.\u003cbr/\u003eIndeed Arizona Governor Jan Brewer credited her signing of the controversial new law for compelling Obama to act. \u003cbr/\u003eSigning the law, Brewer said in a statement, \"clearly ignited the talk of action in Washington for the people of Arizona and other border states.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe National Guard troops will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. \u003cbr/\u003eThey will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border, according to a letter Tuesday from top administration security officials to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin.\u003cbr/\u003eIn 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. \u003cbr/\u003eBut that programme has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent to curb human and drug smuggling and to deal with Mexico's drug violence that has been spilling over into the United States.\u003cbr/\u003eThe White House released the letter signed by National Security Adviser James L. Jones and White House counterterror chief John Brennan not long after Obama met at the Capitol with Republican senators who pressed him on immigration issues including the question of sending troops to the border.\u003cbr/\u003eArizona Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl have been urging such a move, and Republicans planned to try to require it as an amendment to a pending war spending bill.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, McCain said the situation on the US-Mexico border has \"greatly deteriorated.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHe called for 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent, and he asked for 250 (m) million US dollars more to pay for them.\u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats were considering countering McCain's amendment with a proposal of their own after disclosure of the administration plans. \u003cbr/\u003eThe White House wasn't expected to formally send its spending request to Capitol Hill until after the Memorial Day recess, said Kenneth Baer, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget.\u003cbr/\u003eThe administration's plans appear to use Guard troops only in a supporting role, according to the military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details were still being worked out. \u003cbr/\u003eSome of the troops will be armed, but others will not.\u003cbr/\u003eArizona Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords said the situation on the ground now is different from when Bush deployed the Guard. \u003cbr/\u003eArrests have fallen in the Arizona sector and there've been record drug seizures.\u003cbr/\u003eShe said the border is more violent and law enforcement is outgunned. \u003cbr/\u003eShe and other lawmakers want the troops to be armed, they were not in the previous deployment.\u003cbr/\u003eShe said the US needs to \"spend what it takes\" to secure its border with Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Mexican Embassy said Tuesday it hoped the National Guard troops would be used to fight drug cartels and not enforce immigration laws. \u003cbr/\u003eMexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalise migrants and open the way for potential abuse.\u003cbr/\u003eCecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, told a group of Spanish-language reporters Tuesday that the National Guard troops would not deal directly with migrants.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than 20-thousand Border Patrol agents are deployed now, mostly along the nation's southern border.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
