When I read in an article from MSNBC titled
Bush may deploy Guard along U.S. border with Mexico I was immediately given pause to think about what this means not only for its stated purpose of border security but for it could mean in the greater scheme of things.
For me this is about remembering that Troops can be used to keep people IN just as well as they can be used to keep people OUT. A saying I heard on a another blog a year or two ago was always watch what happens on your borders and you will know the true state of your country. To me the militarization of the border with Mexico is just another step on the road to fascism and dictatorship.
