Bilbray praises National Guard on the border
As National Guard troops leave the U.S.-Mexico border, Rep. Brian Bilbray introduced a resolution Tuesday praising the soldiers.
It also says the soldiers have “assisted in the rescue of over 100 illegal aliens.”
“For the past two years, courageous members of our National Guard have braved extreme weather conditions along the southwest border and worked tirelessly to stem the flow of illegal immigration and reduce drug and human smuggling,” said Bilbray, chair of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, which seeks stronger border enforcement.
The National Guard has been at the Southern border for two years under “Operation Jump Start.” Read more here.
