Border politics and racism

That's not the mission of the National Guard. That's the mission of the regular armed forces -- or should be. Unfortunately, we have too few of those, and those we have are all busily engaged in other places. I could go along with using rotating Guard units to close the border on an interim basis, but only with a definite end stipulated and a commitment to staff up the regular forces to take over within 6 months to a year.

Ok by me. I would think that a National Guard call up, specifically to secure the borders, with one-month rotations, would be greeted extremely well by the American public. Do it for six months while recruiting more volunteer U.S. Army troops to take over.

I would think a well-publicized ad campaign would have no problem getting fresh recruits to defend the borders.
