DEMING, N.M. – Another 100 National Guardsmen will soon be stationed along the state's southern border with Mexico, according to a commander with Operation Jump Start.

Col. Richard Puglisi, commanding officer of a joint task force working with the U.S. Border Patrol in Deming, said Wednesday that the increase will bring Guard numbers close to 900 for the region.

Operation Jump Start began last summer as part of President Bush's plan to address border security.

The Guard plans to establish four more Entry Identification Team sites, and five Blackhawk helicopters are being assigned to help with the operation. The helicopters will be based at Las Cruces' airport.

2. Let's just let anyone in, without knowing who they are.

That's the ticket!
