A National Guard soldier deployed to the southern border found a bag of guns in Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says.

Last week, a soldier assigned to the Eagle Pass South Station, less than 3 miles from Mexico, discovered an abandoned black gym bag in tall grass. Border agents at the scene found eight AK-47 style pistols and 10 30-round magazines.

Four of the weapons had already been reported stolen. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives took custody of the bag's contents.

Has Texas deployed the National Guard to the border?  Why was this guardsman there?
