Local soldiers deployed to U.S.-Mexico border

April 22, 2008 - 8:36am — Kristin Holtz
Filed under:


About 40 area Minnesota Army National Guard soldiers are conducting their annual training in support of "Operation Jump Start,” a federal initiative utilizing National Guard soldiers to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border against illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

The soldiers--from the Willmar-based 682nd Engineering Battalion, the Litchfield-based 849th Engineer Company and the Cambridge-based 850th Engineer Company--left Saturday for New Mexico.

They will spend two weeks supporting construction projects near Deming, N.M. Their mission will include anti-vehicle fence installation and road construction to remote entry points.

Why are we wasting money...

Back to page top

Why are we wasting money trying to keep Mexicans out of our country when we've still got people who can't even find a house to live in let alone food to put on their table. It's all about common sense and priorities, and this government has none of the first. (They do have priorities, but to say that they are well thought out or good in any way is probably naive.)

Why are we so scared of Mexicans? They're Mexicans, not evil sorcerers.
