National Guard at Border Slowing Apprehensions
Shhhhhh, don’t tell anybody the National Guard troops stationed along the border between Mexico and the US are not armed.
The U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona saw a significant decrease in illegal immigrant apprehensions in June, with news of the deployment of National Guard troops credited with driving immigrants into other regions and more remote areas.
Alright! With National Guard troops stationed on the border there are less illegal immigrants crossing the border. Not quite. Turns out the illegals are crossing in less traveled areas. Which means less apprehensions and more of them dying.
At the same time, rescues of migrants and deaths increased or remained unchanged compared with the same period a year earlier, and immigrant rights groups blamed the increased border security for riskier behavior by migrants.
Let me get this right. Because we want to guard our borders against those who try to immigrate here illegally, it is our fault if they die while trying to cross in a remote area. Seems to me, if these people are taking a chance with their own lives if they try to cross is a remote desert region.
Frankly, I don’t see how the illegal aliens don’t make it across into the US. After all, they are given a lot of help.
To make sure their citizens avoid captured, Mexican aurthorities are give these illegals a lot of help including money, intelligence data on where sheriffs deputies patrol, and who to call if they get into trouble. Witnesses say it is someone from the Mexican Consulate who is helping out. Interestingly the one who these invaders are supposed to call if they get into trouble is John McCain.
Don’t know if this information is true of not, but the author claims he interviewed more than 50 illegals for this story.

Just a reminder, according to an investigative report by the Dallas Morning News this Spring, 60% of illegals(?) caught were from countries other than Mexico. And, my own personal conversations with Border Patrol agents from Brownsville to Rio Grande City said that the majority were from Poland and Eastern European countries - much to their surprise.
Is it illegal to emmigrate?
An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant. It matters little whether they came from Mexico or Ireland. Though I would be concerned more if some were Saudi, or Iran.
