Border-Guard-Past Deployments

FILE - In this July 11, 2006, file photo, members of the Virginia National Guard constructed this sand map of the Nogales corridor in Nogales, Texas, depicting Guard deployments at the border during a training exercise for the Virginia National Guard volunteers who are being deployed to the Arizona border with Mexico at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Va. Operation Jump Start, from May 2006 to July 2008, sent 6,000 troops to the border in its first year and 3,000 the second year and was framed as a way to buy time amid an unprecedented Border Patrol hiring spree and heavy political pressure for immediate action. The Border Patrol ballooned by thousands of agents during the operation to about 20,000, roughly where it is today. (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File)
