Obama agrees to send 1,200 NG troops to Mexican border. but, is this enough?

President Obama, under pressure, has agreed to send 1,200 National Guard troops to the border of Mexico. but, is this enough? the original request was for 6,000 troops to assist the Border Patrol with drug enforcement. the duties of the guard will be strictly as support and no law enforcement duties. its doubtful that the troops will even be armed. whats wrong with this picture? first, 1,200 troops is just “window dressing” from Obama. second, sending unarmed troops to deal with heavily-armed drug dealers and their cartel is suicide. third, should someone tell the president that most of the drug dealers are illegal immigrants? they are criminals dealing with illegal drugs and illegal weapons. they come in the same package. if the president was truly serious about stopping the illegal drugs coming across our border, don’t you think he would have honored the request for 6,000 National Guard troops, rather than a mere 1,200? i say this, our nation has more than enough Military Police Officers that are trained in drug and weapons trafficking. why not send 3,000 of them to the Mexican border to assist the Border Patrol? any of your comments are appreciated.
