Obama Re: Guard Troops on Texas-Mexico Border | 44 | washingtonpost.com

Obama Considering Guard Troops on Texas-Mexico Border | 44 | washingtonpost.com: "President Obama is reviewing a request from Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) to send National Guard troops to the Mexico border in response to violence triggered by Mexico's fight against drug cartels, the White House said.

'We're going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,' Obama told reporters from regional newspapers on Wednesday, as reported by the Dallas Morning News and McClatchy Newspapers.

'I'm not interested in militarizing the border,' Obama said."
