Appears California is losing it's taste for more illegal immigrants within their state.
California Gov. Jerry Brown just agreed to send National Guard troops to the border
California will join Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico in sending National Guard troops to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border, Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday afternoon.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the Democratic governor said he will accept federal funding and in turn send 400 guardsmen to assist Customs and Border Security officers, as well as Border Patrol agents, at his state's southern boundary.
"Your funding for new staffing will allow the Guard to do what it does best: support operations targeting transnational criminal gangs, human traffickers, and illegal firearm and drug smugglers along the border, the coast and throughout the state," Brown said in a statement.
UPDATE: Appears Gov. Brown has directed them to NOT enforce Federal Law, after accepting Federal funding. Wow.
CALIFORNIA CHAOS: Gov. Says National Guard ‘WILL NOT ENFORCE’ Immigration Laws
California Governor Jerry Brown begrudgingly accepted President Trump’s demand that he deploy the National Guard to the southern border Wednesday, but defiantly declared his troops “will not be used to enforce federal immigration laws.”
The Golden State Governor agreed to send approximately 400 troops to the US-Mexico border; adding they will be used for targeting “criminal gangs” and “illegal firearms” but will not “build a wall” or “round up women and children.”
“Let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission. This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws,” said his statement.
“I agree with the Catholic Bishops who have said that local, state and federal officials should ‘work collaboratively and prudently in the implementation of this deployment, ensuring that the presence of the National Guard is measured and not disruptive to community life,’” he added.
