Arizona has continued to cause a substantial amount of current buzz. In the midst of the new immigration laws being debated, President Barack Obama has assigned additional National Guard troops to the Mexican border for the administration’s border protection plan.
The bill was signed by the President on August 13 and gives $600 million in funding to help secure the border. This funding will go towards extra vehicles, new operating bases, new law enforcement agents, equipment and more.
Beyond border protection, this new operation with new enforcement will be working on entry identifications and criminal intelligence.
