"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.

We may not have declared war on mexico, but that certainly hasn't stopped mexican nationals from perpetrating undeclared acts of war upon America and her people. Why do these ethnocentric racists continue to support their illegal alien raza flooding into America unchecked?

Why do they? Because these Nations now know that the red carpet is rolled out to anyone that can gain entry be it swimming, running or by air. Just show up and start looting.

I have to agree with LULAC. In addition, the threats of terrorism and drug cartel violence simply cannot warrant deploying the National Guard at the border.

Putting troops along the border would not be in the interest of the U.S. or Mexico, she said.
Yep, deploying the National Guard on US territory will not be acceptable to the Mexican government who couldn't care less about those crossing the northern border illegally and thus shouldn't be considered.
