National Guard to Leave AZ Within Days

National Guard to Leave AZ Within Days: "The Obama Administration is pulling back on border security. According to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the National Guard isn't scheduled to leave the Arizona-Mexico border at the end of June, however, Guard officials are saying they plan to leave the area within days due lack of orders to stay and carry out duties past June 30. Remember, Governor Jan Brewer requested twice as many National Guard troops be deployed the border and only half her request was granted.

The assessment at the National Guard Bureau in Washington: 'We are on a glide path to end the mission,' spokesman Jon Anderson said.

The moves come a week after the Department of Homeland Security publicly confirmed it wants to keep the soldiers there through the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30."
