"We've always taken the stand that the National Guard should not be called in,"
said LULAC National President Rosa Rosales.
"Why? Because you know first and most important we're not at war with Mexico, and the National Guard is not trained to be border agents."
Last week, the House approved a supplemental appropriations bill that would provide funding for several border initiatives, including a controversial plan to put National Guard troops on the border to assist in counternarcotics efforts.
The appropriations bill, which now goes to the Senate for approval, provides $350 million for the potential National Guard deployments, Cuellar said.
The executive branch has not made the decision to send troops to the border, but if the Guard is deployed, some of the funding will be there, Cuellar said.
