Az Guard may be on border within 3 weeks

Citizen Staff Report Feb.  18, 2002

Governor Jane Hull's office is expecting the federal government to
activate 
Arizona's National Guard to police the U.S.-Mexico border within three
weeks.

U.S.  Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said the Justice Department, 
which oversees the Immigration and Naturalization Service, signed off on
an 
agreement last week.

Hull spokeswoman Francie Noyes said today that direction from
Washington, 
D.C., about the deployment of troops is "imminent."

"We have been waiting for that to happen for about a month," she said.

Hull activated 60 Arizona National Guard members in November to assist 
border inspectors and reduce traffic delays at the border.

Following the Sept.  11 attacks, bottlenecks at Arizona ports of entry
hurt 
businesses on both sides of the border.

Nationwide, the president plans to activate more than 1,500 troops, who 
could help with security at ports of entry, intelligence operations and 
cargo or vehicle inspections, among other tasks.

It was unclear how many troops would come from Arizona or where they
would 
be assigned, Noyes said.  Ridge's office couldnot be reached for
comment 
today.

The deployment of the military on the border has been a controversial 
sticking point for politicians and immigrant activists 

Long Live the Republic, Death to the new world order!


"What is it that gentlemen wish? 
  What would they have? 
  Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as 
  to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? 
  Forbid it Almighty God! 
  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, 
  GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!" 

     --- Patrick Henry
