What is this? you ask. Well Rick Perry is summoned the National Guard to protect the border. He is bringing 1,000 men up. (Not just men, baby, Texas National Guardsmen.)

Now, this would make sense (maybe) if the border was being sneaked through people trying to evade capture. But that isn't the case. Obama has effectively closed the border and has deported more illegal migrants than Bush1 and Bush 2 combined.
.
No the problem right now is children from Central America (where life super sucks with the highest murder rates in the world - including Chicago). And they cannot be immediately deported because of a law the Republicans passed and Bush 2 signed which says all minors get a hearing except those from Mexico (and Canada).
.
And the children willingly, happily, gladly turn them selves over to the first person they see. So Ricky could put 10 or 100 or 1,000 or 1,000,000 National Guard people on the border and it would make no difference.
.
It also seems ironic that the Republicans - huge believers that President Obama has a conspiracy to call the army in and take away people's guns - is a-okay with Crazy Legs Perry hauling out the Army for a little show and tell.
