Illinois to send National Guard to border under Bush plan
Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Illinois will deploy no more than 200 Army and Air National Guard troops in 2007 for two weeks of training to California to support border patrols with Mexico. Troops will not enforce laws and Illinois may withdraw if needed as Bush pledges 6,000 guards.
