Logistical and bureaucratic snags have delayed the deployment of National Guard troops along the Southwestern border, leaving Arizona with little support so far from other states and putting a crimp in President Bush's security plan.

Bush border plan for Guard hits snag

But in the meantime, the Dubya plan to use the National Guard as a source of cheap labor was a pretty dumb one to begin with.

Oh, right.
