The Pentagon is sending a contingent of troops to the southern border to reinforce Customs and Border Protection (CBP) missions ahead of an expected surge in migrant entrances later this month, a U.S. official confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested the Pentagon’s assistance as Title 42, a Trump-era authority implemented in the wake of COVID-19 is scheduled to sunset on May 11, opening the way for thousands of migrants who would formerly be subject to expulsion to seek entry into the U.S. A temporary addition of 1,500 military personnel will mostly perform administrative tasks and will not conduct any law enforcement work, leaving that to CBP, the U.S. official told the DCNF.
“At the request of DHS, DOD (Department of Defense) will provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to supplement CBP efforts at the border,” the official said. “These 1,500 military personnel will fill critical capability gaps, such as ground-based detection and monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support, until CBP can address these needs through contracted support.”

This should be interesting!
This will free up Border Patrol agents to man the welcome wagon so they can hand out bus and plane tickets.
1500 troops... 1 per mile.
The definition of doing nothing while claiming to be doing something
Troops are worthless because the DC Junta uses them to build welcome and processing tents, chow halls, processing, transport, etc. They do not protect America.
Wake up, folks.
To do what? Pass out EBT cards and hotel assignments?
The troops are to help transport the illegal aliens to red states so they can vote there.
Troops have no authority to arrest.
What is contracted support ?
Sounds like 1500 secretaries with “0” authority.
Armed with clipboards and paperwork for their new life here, no doubt.

Why bother? No enforcement action by the troops, just paper shuffling. This is not what US troops are trained to do!
What are they gonna do? Change diapers and hand out goody bags?
All show...no go.
They are there to help process not to stop a single one
They should be able to stop them! We should’ve secured our borders decades ago!
Bingo!
What will their rules of engagement be?
Biden and his goons want to ‘process’ the illegals faster.
What is ‘processing’?
It’s giving illegals documentation. It’s grantees cartels will get their cash.
It’s an agreement democrats have with evil...
