As expected, Governor Schwarzenegger has signed the memorandum of agreement that will send members of the California National Guard to the Mexico border.

You can read more about the document in my posting last week by clicking here. A copy of the document is online here.

[12:40PM UPDATE: Schwarzenegger has also issued the formal order to the Guard to join Operation Jump Start. The document released by the governor's office reiterates that the 1000 troops to be used should first be volunteers, and that "the military personnel shall not be armed during the performance of their duties." The order expires on December 31, 2008.]
