Schwarzenegger Agrees to Send Troops to U.S. Border. California

“California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he will sign an order sending state National Guard soldiers to patrol the U.S. border with Mexico under a plan proposed by President George W. Bush.

Bush on May 16 proposed sending 6,000 Guard troops to the borders of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California to try to slow a flood of illegal immigration. The initial commitment of the Guard units will last for one year and will be reduced as more border agents are hired. The units won’t be making arrests or performing other law enforcement duties.”
