TX Dem: 'I Want To See A Little More Than 1,200' Nat'l Guard Troops at Border

CNS News: On Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Cuellar, “Do you think the 1,200 troops that President Obama decided to send to the border are enough to secure the 2,000-mile-long border?”



Cuellar said, “I think it’s a start with 1,200. I know that Senator [John] McCain [R-Ariz.] is asking for 6,000. At least [the] president started out with 1,200. We got to keep in mind this is a 2,000, almost a 2,000-mile border.”
