MEXICO-US: Trying to allay fears on troop deployment
The build-up of National Guard troops along the US border with Mexico has been continuing apace, in spite of the reluctance shown by California to increase its contingent. US authorities have been at pains to emphasise that the troops will be playing a support role, not engaging in law-enforcement activities, and that their presence on the border is meant to last only as long as it takes to train and deploy increased numbers of Border patrol agents. In other words, it is not intended as a 'militarization' of the border.
