BTW, the Mexican Army along the border is not disarmed. Real guns, real bullets.

Titus urges Sandoval to reject sending Nevada Guard to border

WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Dina Titus asked Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval on Thursday to deny any request by the Trump administration to deploy the state's National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Donald Trump is working with border state governors to deploy the National Guard to assist Border Patrol agents enforcing immigration laws.
Trump said Thursday he anticipated 2,000 to 4,000 troops would be deployed until the border wall is completed. The president told reporters he did not know how much the deployment would cost.
"We're looking at it," Trump said. "It depends on what we do."
Titus, who represents Las Vegas, sent a letter to Sandoval asking the governor to reject any request to use the state's troops.
"While previous administrations have deployed National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, I believe in this instance the timing is rushed and the justification is politically motivated," Titus said in the letter.
Sandoval has said that he does not think the border deployment would be an appropriate use of the Nevada National Guard, his spokeswoman said.
The Trump administration has not reached out to the governor's office to make such a request, Sandoval's spokeswoman said.
Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both deployed National Guard to the border during their administrations. In both cases, however, they went to Congress for approval and funding for those operations.
Trump announced his plan to deploy the National Guard this week following a series of tweets and comments that appeared to catch White House staff and the Department of Homeland Security off guard.

Nevada GOP Gov. Sandoval bucks Trump border plan

RENO, Nev. - Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval opposes President Donald Trump's current proposal to send thousands of National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border to help federal officials fight illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, both Democrats, also said this week that they would say no to requests for troops from their national guards.
Sandoval's press secretary Mary-Sarah Kinner said Sandoval doesn't believe the current proposal would be "an appropriate use of the Nevada National Guard."
Trump wants to send 2,000 to 4,000 Guard members to the border. And the Republican governors of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas back the deployment.
Kinner said the Nevada Guard has participated in past border security missions that involved both a "surveillance and life-saving mission." She said Sandoval would be willing to consider the move if it was "consistent with life-saving missions."
Kinner told Politics NOW co-host Patrick Walker, he has not heard from the Trump administration regarding deploying any of Nevada's troops.
