I would not kick out any of the transgender people in the military but I would require they be honorably discharged upon finishing their tours and not be allowed to re-up. Muster them all out when their tours are done.

I am not surprised thousands are in the military. It was a route to free surgery. That is quite a magnet.

Its a left wing lie. The Coast Guard commander himself said they only had 13. Meanwhile, Trump’s tweet said they would not serve IN ANY CAPACITY. I hope he sticks to that policy and doesnt get bogged down in this person is deployable and can still be a cross dresser in uniform.

i> "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow...Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming...victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you."

The basis for the Friday directive, the official added, is "national security concerns."

As is the border with Mexico, it is a matter of National Security.

And now we see some funds being freed up that needs to be re-deploied.

What President Trump can not do follows.

DOD issued Directive 5525.5, which outlines its policies and procedures for supporting federal, state, and local LEAs. DOD Directive 5525.5 prohibits the following forms of direct assistance: (1) interdiction of a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other similar activity; (2) a search or seizure; (3) an arrest, apprehension, stop and frisk, or similar activity; and (4) use of military personnel in the pursuit of individuals, or as undercover agents, informants, investigators, or interrogators. It is generally accepted that the PCA does not apply to the actions of the National Guard when not in federal service.22 As a matter of policy, however, National Guard regulations stipulate that its personnel are not, except for exigent circumstances or as otherwise authorized, to participate directly in the arrest or search of suspects or the general public.23

I don't see a thing in there about not building walls and fences to protect the intergriaty and security of the border.

But look at this...

As amended, Section 1004 authorizes the military to maintain, upgrade, and repair military equipment; transport federal, state, local, and foreign law enforcement personnel and equipment within or outside the United States; establish bases for operations or training; train law enforcement personnel in counter-drug activities; detect, monitor, and communicate movements of air, sea, and surface traffic outside the United States, and within 25 miles of the border if the detection occurred outside the United States; construct roads, fences, and lighting along the U.S. border; provide linguists and intelligence analysis services; conduct aerial and ground reconnaissance; and establish command, control, communication, and computer networks for improved integration of law enforcement, active military, and National Guard activities

All of it already established and authorized by none other that President Hussein.

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/R41286.pdf

Fences.

Roads.

Lighting.

Aerial reconnaissance.

Ground Reconnaissance.

Detect and monitor (cameras)

Establish bases.

Put it together just like this...

Thousands???

Forgot which talk radio host I heard this from (Rush, Dr. Savage, Phil Valentine, Chris Plante?) but I tracked down one source at ABC (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/numbers-transgender-individuals-serving-us-military/story?id=48869563) which states the number is actually in the low 100's. But that doesn't have the impact of 'thousands' or 'millions'.
