We are watching to see what President Obama says today in El Paso, Texas.
President Obama to Talk Immigration, Weighs National Guard on US-Mexico Border - ABC News: "President Obama will raise the issue of immigration reform to the fore this week with a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, where he faces a looming decision on whether to keep 1,200 National Guardsmen deployed.
Nearly one year ago, under pressure from congressional Republicans and border state governors to do more to curtail illegal immigration, Obama authorized the use of troops to assist the Border Patrol with immigration enforcement operations in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Funding for the border security mission approved by Congress expires in June."
