Ariz. Sens. McCain, Kyl call for Guard on border

After the shooting death of a rancher, Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain once again called Monday for National Guard troops to be deployed along Arizona's border with Mexico.

The request for 3,000 troops was part of a 10-point plan that also includes hiring 3,000 more Customs and Border Protection agents for Arizona, building new fences along the border and increasing aerial surveillance.

The Arizona senators, both Republicans, said in a conference call with reporters that they would introduce federal legislation to implement their plan.
