YUMA, Ariz. - The first National Guard troops sent to assist immigration agents Monday are to work on projects near a fortified stretch of desert along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The 55 Utah National Guard members plan to begin extending fences, improving gravel roads and working on border lighting near the town of San Luis, Ariz., which is part of the nation's busiest U.S. Border Patrol station.
"They are putting everything together so they can hit the ground running," said Maj. Hank McIntire, a spokesman for the Utah National Guard.
The troops are part of President Bush's plan to send up to 6,000 National Guard members to the four border states to perform support duties that will allow immigration agents to focus on border security. The Guard members won't perform significant law enforcement duties.

This only the start, you can bet that when the guard is fully deployed the wackos will come out of the wood work. My major problem is that the guard will be in a limited role, not taking the fight to the law breakers who try and come here to exploit our great country.
I know that many want us to believe that they come here only to work, well you and I both know that is not true. You only have to look to the jails to see the problem, or go down to Texas and check out the hospitals, they are having to lay people off because they can't afford to pay them. I want troops on the border! But I want a wall first and than I want the troops to shoot anything that trys to cross it. This is our border why is everyone so squeamish when it comes to defending it. Will you wait till they are taking over your town? This is an invasion make no mistake about it, and we must defend ourselves, our culture and our nation to the last.

The Guard's head honco calls his guys skill sets that are being deployed along the border. To me a Scout Sniper and his observer is a skill set!
