Trump Plans to Send National Guard to the Mexican Border
NY Times ^ | March 3, 2018 | JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

The White House said Tuesday night that President Trump planned to deploy the National Guard to the southern border to confront what it called a growing threat of illegal immigrants, drugs and crime from Central America after the president for the third consecutive day warned about the looming dangers of unchecked immigration.

Mr. Trump’s advisers said on Monday that he was readying new legislation to block migrants and asylum seekers, including young unaccompanied children, from entering the United States, opening a new front in the immigration crackdown that he has pressed since taking office. But in remarks on Tuesday that caught some of his top advisers by surprise, he suggested the more dramatic approach of sending in the military to do what immigration authorities could not.

Trump taking this one action would be more real leadership than the previous four presidents COMBINED.

Yep, gotta use the military until The Wall is built.

And no DACA!

.

I wonder it the proglibs are catching on that they should take the FIRST deal because the ones after that just get worse.

Naaah, probably not...

I'm glad Trump is using the military to protect America from the invasion of foreign socialist hordes.

The democrats have been importing 2 million 3rd word poor socialist voters per year since their 1965 immigration act. 2 million per year legal and illegal socialists infiltrating the USA is why we have all these problems.

This is a plan to steal our country from us and turn it into a socialist hell hole like Venezuela.

I seem to recall reading of something like this 20-30 years ago that didn’t end so well when a Guardsman shot and killed one, or two invaders.

No Way! They are not smart enough to figure out this reality. Never Trumpsters have zero ability in that regard.

"...a growing threat of illegal immigrants, drugs and crime from Central America"

What liberals see:

"...a growing number of Democrat voters"

Maybe we should just have a walk up where we hand each caravan member $500.00. It would be cheaper than letting them in.

Can’t wait for the CNN sob stories about how tough it is on the border for our troops and their heartbroken families back home.

A .50 caliber bullet for each socialist invader is cheaper

It’s a great strategy. Next, start buying sections of wall and have reservists rotate in on two weeks training to erect it - supervised by Army Corp of Engineers.

Sure would. Letting them in binds us with decades of welfare payments.
