The Pentagon said Thursday it is establishing a new border security support cell that will be manned 24 hours a day after President Trump ordered the military to help secure the southern border.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said Trump authorized the National Guard to enhance its support for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the border. This is not business as usual, White said.
She said their efforts will include aviation, engineer, surveillance, communications, vehicle maintenance and logistics support.
They will support border patrol agents who are performing law enforcement duties, White said.

According to the enumerated powers afforded the executive branch by the constitution it is the primary duty and the use of military force (not just NG) is 100% justified and legal.
but the US constitution has been hijacked by progressive liberals embedded in government and is no longer observed
Even worse, we here had a navy on staten island for a while and jets would have been maybe 12 miles away at the time of the attack.
Not sure why it closed. But an entire base was built here. And an Entire area of housing far from the base was built.
All it ended up serving to accomplish was give low income condos to obama’s sons and shoot the crime rate up in that area.
Thanks for addressing that pain in the a$$.
I figured there had to be a 24/7/365 contingency crew at various positions.
TRUMP is demanding THE WALL. If they wont get it going, he will.
-
Despite all globalist efforts of Flinch McConnell & Cryn RINO Ryan.....the Trump Train is picking up speed.....ALL ABOARD!
(or get replaced by a Democrat in November)
It’s crossed my mind this whole show is the HOT plate full of incoming that Trump is launching at Republican Donor Hill Rubes and RINOS, squatting in the US Congress.
WAR should make an impression.
He intends to GET.THAT.WALL. :)
Hmm, I don’t’ believe that in a second. There are a few bases in the U.S and Caribbean that maintain alert interceptors.
I think that was knee jerk answer to the reason why they weren’t intercepted as soon as it was recognized as an attack. Fact is, we didn’t recognize it as an attack until afterwards.
They won’t be hijacking the Presidential war powers. They would lose and they know they would lose in short order.
Lets see if the 9th circuit court tells Trump he can’t deploy U.S troops to the U.S border and watch their laughter turn to crying in short order.
True believer, eh? Did you bother to look up the bill before you commented? And stop the obnoxious personal comments, please.
Shiftwork doesnt require OT
Does on weekends if you have to work 6 days of 8+ hours. LOL! (Or more, which I did fairly regular during my career. But, being salaried, we had a 5 hour free gate then straight time plus shift differential for the remainder. When you put in 2500-3000 hours/yr, it adds up. ;-))
Perhaps they give it to NorthCom, but not SouthCom.
You’re right...unless we decide to hit them from the rear. /s
“Protecting our national borders is exactly what our Military Forces are supposed to do.”
Not make the Opecker Princes safer and richer with American blood and guts left in their sand boxes while protecting their inhuman oil cartel.
Perhaps a long slow slope to both ends, then.
Good point. One can only imagine the quality and clarity of facial pictures of the marchers, taken by one of our drones.
Then, the white hats in the NSA have identified every gang member and terrorist in that mob.
Maybe our ambassador delivered the head shot photo ids to the Mexican President and said, "You can handle this or we do it in front of Fox TV cameras.!"
If you haven’t awakened by now, you never will be.
Well, if youre not woke yet, that DJT is serious, with all thats happened to get here and whats been done, the obstacles defied ... we wont hold our breath. But like so many freepers, it gives you something to bitch about and feel essential. In a cheap transparent tawdry way.
And you need to read the law: 2008 Defense Authorization Bill as it stands, then ask why are DJT is not using it.
Has nothing to do with me, so you can lay off the personal accusations.
Good to know. I thought Dana White from UFC..
