American Taxpayers Are Footing This Bill...

Gov. Schwarzenegger won't send the National Guard to protect our border, but he will ask American taxpayers to pay for sending over 48 firefighters 300 miles into Mexico.

"This is believed to be the first time that CDF personnel have traveled so far beyond the border to assist its neighbor," said CDF Fire Capt. Jesse Estrada. "Under longstanding agreements through the Border Agency Fire Council response agreements are in place for assistance for one mile over each side of the border. A response this far into Mexico required thorough planning and logistical support."
