Schwarzenegger: Troops a 'Band-Aid' Solution

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says President Bush's proposal to send 6,000 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border leaves many questions unanswered.

In a statement after Bush outlined his plan Monday, Schwarzenegger said governors in border states had not been consulted about the plan.

He said, "It remains unclear what impact only 6,000 National Guard troops will have on securing the border." Schwarzenegger says he's concerned the plan is "a Band-Aid solution and not the permanent solution we need."

Earlier Monday, Schwarzenegger said the war in Iraq had already put the Guard under "tremendous stress" and that California may need troops in case of fire, earthquake or flood.
