If this is true I hope they will at least allow the TNG to have weapons and ammunition unlike under the past administration shen the guard was used along the border.
May 27, 2006 The head of the U.S. National Guard surprised Border Patrol officials, declaring some of the troops he will send to assist them will work in close proximity to the border, be armed and allowed to fire their weapons if necessary.
Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum
"Any soldier assigned to a mission where he would be placed in harm or danger, where his life would be threatened potentially, will in fact be armed and will have the inherent right of self-protection," Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum told the San Antonio Express-News Thursday.
Federal troops are scheduled to begin deployment to the four states on the Mexican border next week once the Guard and the Defense Department approve the memorandum of understanding that will define the mission's parameters. The document will also require signatures from the border governors.
Representatives from the National Guard and the offices of the governors of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California have been meeting in Phoenix this week to craft an agreement on the use of force. The talks have focused on "harmonization" of the different states' laws on self-defense and the use of deadly force, said Texas National Guard commander Army Maj. Gen. Charles G. Rodriguez.
The rules of engagement "will be the same in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas," said Blum.

They need to capture some of these drug lords and their minions live to get at who is really behind the drug trade
Then they'd be accused of torture for questioning the adversaries.

Mike I was basing my post on the NG personnel I saw on tv assisting the border patrol. They weren't armed as I recall.
