    Ariz. gov.: Send Guard choppers from other states

    Ariz. gov.: Send Guard choppers from other states

    By AP Staff May 21, 2010 9:50 PM



    PHOENIX (AP) -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is asking President Barack Obama to reallocate National Guard helicopters from other states to help Arizona secure its border with Mexico.

    Brewer made the request in a letter to Obama dated Thursday and released Friday.

    She says Arizona only has four OH-58 Kiowa helicopters available for border missions because some choppers are deployed overseas and others are reserved for training missions.

    Brewer requests that additional helicopters be freed up from training missions or taken from other states and assigned to the southwestern border.

    The governor acknowledges her request may be unpopular with other governors, but she says she believes there are legitimate national interests in sending more aircraft to Arizona.

    Can't she bring her troops home from Aghanistan? Believe me, the Mexico invasion is far more of a threat than the poppey growers in Afghanistan.

    You're absolutely right. Our national security is under direct threat from Mexican drug cartels that are armed as well as and even in some cases, better than our law enforcement officers. Guarding our immediate borders should take top priority over guarding Afghans in the poppy fields to help them get their annual harvest of poppies to market so the heroin trade from that region can continue!

    She can also call in the Arizona Rangers, and all the reserve police as well as private citizen organizations like our BPAUX to help in Arizona.
