Well, At Least Somebody Is Prepared To Defend The Border [eddiebear]

Sadly, it appears that since none of the three remaining Presidential candidates want to do anything to defend the U.S.-Mexico border or stem the flow of illegal immigrants. We all know about McCain's pro-Amnesty stance, and the two Democrats remaining strike me as eager to swell the ranks of the Democrat voter base.

But, never fear! The Mexican Government will send additional troops to the border. The main focus appears to be stopping thugs and drug-related violence from crossing from Juarez into the U.S.
And the Mexican Army is boasting:

Officials said the violence in Mexico has increased in large part to competing drug cartels.

"In this battle we will show that no criminal group is capable to resist the strength of the Mexican government," Interior Minister Juan Mourino said at a news conference Thursday.

Defense Secretary Guillermo Galvan said 2,026 soldiers, 180 military tactical vehicles, three airplanes and more than a dozen drug detection devices would be employed in the military operation.

I wonder if the Mexican Government will really go through with a sustained presence in Juarez, or if they will depart in a few weeks after the cameras disappear.
