Not happy with war in Iraq and possible war in Iran, Bush tries for Mexico

Hey guys and gals in the National Guard, I know you're tired, probably broke due to the lengthy deployment in Iraq on that great Army pay, oh by the way, sorry about you're wife wanting a divorce and you not seeing your kids. Well, I've got good news.

Your next stop is the border of Mexico!

Yep, not only will you be pretending to be actually having an effect in stopping illegal immigration, you'll actually be posing as props for the cameras to make me look tough on all those illegals crossing the border to help drive down wages in the good ole USA. Psst..you'll let them in when the cameras are off. Can't have all those businesses looking to hire Americans at a decent wage.

Welcome home men. Mission Accomplished.

1. Considering the strong minority presence in most
of our military forces, including the Guards (National and state units), what are the odds that several may have families who have a few "illegals" among them?

These poor troops - they are being used, used, used, and not for what they signed up for. Certainly not for our country or our "freedoms".
