Texas Republican Calls For The National Guard's Presence Along U.S.-Mexico Border

Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) outlined Wednesday the details of a letter recently sent to President Barack Obama calling for the deployment of National Guard Troops along the U.S.-Mexico border to assist both local law enforcement and border patrol agents.

“Our local border patrol agents and local Sheriffs on the border are out manned, out-gunned and out-financed by the drug cartels who wish to come into the United States,” Poe said during a morning press conference. (0:35)
