Sheriff Asks: Why 28,000 Troops in South Korea, Yet Just 1,200 at U.S.-Mexico Border?

Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu was recently named 2011 National Sheriff of the Year by the National Sheriff’s Association.

Clearly, this man is an expert in law enforcement and border security. Sheriff Babeu demonstrated his intelligence and expertise when he challenged the completely inadequate efforts by the Obama administration to secure the U.S.-Mexico borders.

As reported:
“Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu said the Obama administration’s decision to extend the deployment of 1,200 U.S. National Guard troops along the U.S. border with Mexico until Sept. 30 is “pandering” and that those numbers “fall far short” of what military power is needed to keep the country safe.
Babeu noted, for comparison, the 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea to help defend it against North Korean aggression; U.S. troops have been stationed in South Korea for 58 years.
Babeu is the sheriff of Pinal County in southern Arizona and is on the frontlines against illegal immigration, human traffickers, drug smugglers, and potential terrorists.
“What are we doing?” Babeu told CNSNews.com by telephone. “We need 6,000 armed soldiers on our border to protect America. Homeland Security starts at home.” He was talking about the National Guard.
Babeu said that only 520 guardsmen are deployed in Arizona, a state with a 276-mile border with Mexico and the state that has, according to the Department of Homeland Security, the greatest influx of illegal aliens. In 2010, approximately 212,000 illegal aliens were seized in the Tucson sector of Arizona – or 47 percent of all illegal aliens taken into custody.
“The gravest national security risk that we face is right here with the insecure border with Mexico,” Babeu said. “Right from the beginning, these 1,200 [National Guard] soldiers fall far short from what’s really, truly needed to achieve a secure border.”
Well said, Sheriff.
Of course the honest answer is that Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano really do not want to prevent invasions across our border because they see the illegal aliens as future Democrats.
Hats off to another Arizona sheriff who is standing up and articulating the treason that is being committed by the Obama administration!
