Schwarzenegger to order troops to border

Schwarzenegger to order troops to border - Yahoo! News (AP)

"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, said Schwarzenegger spokesman Adam Mendelsohn."
I do hope the Feds do pick up the tab.
"Schwarzenegger's decision ended an awkward period for the Republican governor. He held out longer than Democratic governors in Arizona and New Mexico before saying he would send troops." [italics are mine]

Arnold is his own man - a Republican, yet not entirely a Republican. Also, our state's First Lady, who seems to have a big influence on Arnold, is, after all, a Kennedy.
