Arizona Republic -- Phoenix -- March 13
Napolitano says U.S. needs to offset border fence delay
In light of news that the "virtual" fence along Arizona's southern border won't be operational until 2011, Gov. Janet Napolitano has asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to deploy National Guard troops there in the meantime.
Those troops, stationed along the border since June 2006 as part of Operation Jump Start, are being drawn down as the operation nears its expiration July 15. At its peak, the operation brought 6,000 troops to the border states, including 2,400 to Arizona. That has been reduced by half, with roughly 1,200 troops now stationed along the Arizona border. [...]
"Real solutions to fix our broken borders cannot wait that long," Napolitano wrote Chertoff. |
