Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed Thursday to send the California National Guard to the Mexican border, ending a 17-day standoff with the Bush administration.
The two sides had been at odds over whether California Guardsmen would join the effort to bolster the Border Patrol and who would pay for it.
They reached an agreement under which California will contribute about 1,000 Guardsmen for border duty and the federal government will pick up the full cost, Schwarzenegger said.
"It is not my preference to send the National Guard, but there's an important need to protect the border," he said.
However, in a separate act that was not part of the agreement with the federal government, Schwarzenegger will sign an executive order that ends the California National Guard's participation on Dec. 31, 2008, state officials said.
Schwarzenegger is probably in the toughest position in regards to defending our border. California has one of the highest populations of immigrants from Mexico. Schwarzenegger has to balance serving the growing Latino community and protecting the borders. Politically, he's in a tough spot.
