(CNSNews.com) -- The 1,200 National Guard troops that are being deployed incrementally to the southwest border “will not be doing direct law enforcement,” said U.S. National Guard Bureau Director of Communications Jack Harrison when asked if the forces would be interdicting drugs and undocumented immigrants.

“The two mission sets are criminal analysts and enter-identification team,” Harrison told CNSNews.com. “I can tell you that guardsmen will not be doing direct law enforcement on the southwest border.”

In other words, the National Guardsmen will not be used to actually stop and detain illegal aliens trying to sneak across the border into the United States.

Nope, just 1,200 people pulled out of their civilian jobs for a year and sent to assistant-beaurocratic jobs in the Border Patrol beaurocracy to be sure all the papers are properly pushed and all the chairs are warm.

Chairborne!  Hooah!

The Emblem of the National Guard is the
"Minute Man", the citizen-soldier who could
change from farmer to fighter in a minute.

He fired the first shots of the American Revolution
and fought and died to create the United States.

Today, his descendants are fighting and dying in
Iraq and Afghanistan. Our leaders don't value the
United States enough to protect it. The modern-day
Minute-Man didn't take a rifle to the border.
He took a counter and a laptop computer, to
log and report the volume of Northbound illegals.

His ancestors weep in frustration.
