Gov. signs national guard memorandum

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with the governors of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, signed a memorandum today between the state and the federal government to allow the state's national guard troops be deployed to protect the border.

The name of the mission: Operation Jump Start.

Here's the preamble:

In response to a request for Department of Defense (DoD) support to the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (USCBP), to enhance border enforcement along the southwest border, the Governors of the States of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas (the Supported States) have agreed to accept National Guard forces from other States (the Supporting States) to perform duties in support of this border enforcement effort. The Chief, National Guard Bureau, will coordinate the provision of resources to the Supported States in furtherance of the border enforcement effort. Each Governor shall retain the authority to decline missions that will compromise his or her ability to respond to state emergency requirements.
