After our intervention turned sour in Iraq. the Pentagon turned to the Guard. After the governmentalwide failure in responding to Katrina. we turned to the Guard. Now. the administrations continual unwillingness to focus on our porous border and develop a comprehensive immigration policy. the administration turns once again to the Guard. Yet I am continually puzzled that this administration. which seems so ready to take advantage of the Guard. fights so vigorously against providing this essential force with adequate. equipment. a seat at the table in policy debateseven adequate health insurance for the men and women of the Guard. As long as these Guard units operate under the authority of State Governors.
