bush likes the shock-n-awe method.
His point in doing all this was to both help secure our borders and not have it look like a military action on our border. While the Guard wont have much authority on the border, the Border Patrol retains their powers. The National Guard are there to do the support jobs; the intelligence, surveillance systems, etc. They will be relieving the Border Patrol agents that used to have to do these jobs, so they can be on the Border.
