WASHINGTON (AP) Under pointed questioning from senators, the top U.S. general for homeland defense said Tuesday that he sees no military threat coming from the southern border with Mexico, but his focus is on very real threats from China and Russia.

I beg to differ: gang members, human trafficking, drugs, felons with weapons.
I think it is both criminal and military, 46000 captured last month is an army size..
so this clown says he sees no military threat on southern border but does see Russia as a threat. Why is it I have seen in recent articles how it seems Russia is influencing assisting in some of the problem at US southern border but this guy doesn’t put two and two together?
This quote seems like a programmed response by a deep state plant.
Was this man put into place by the Obama regime? Obama purged our military.
Why did he have to use the word "military" to describe the threat?
Are disease, sex trafficking, murder, kidnapping, crimes against US citizens, drug trafficing threats? Take a time out general, to think about what you are saying and implying. You sound phony and whiney, playing games with words. Who are your "handlers?"
Ummmm - it’s not a military threat...he’s concentrating on his job and won’t make up stories that the Dems can leap on to try to debunk....
ISIS is not the military.
Drug cartels are not the military.
I recall the National Guard used against rioters who where not the military.
Godzilla is not the military.
Well yeah, but they're trying to get him to say something they want to hear, not what is true or false.
Thanks. Some of the knee jerkers here need to read the freakin’ article!
It even said, in the brief excerpt:
“Under pointed questioning from senators...”
Which means they were trying to twist his testimony.
It is a national security threat, not a military threat. We all know there is no military force poised on the border. Misleading question leads to misleading answer. That’s what the Communist Dems specialize in. They are vile.
There is also a threat to the public order and to society with criminals involved in illegal drugs and human trafficking and a threat to the public health with an onslaught of diseases.
The metrosexuals that run NORTHCOM are SPACECOM rejects.
“They know its a threat to the American people”
Here’s a worry of mine: how many American people see our porous border as a threat?
Wow, you’re back!
Early release or parole?
Our military “leadership” is balless.
The man is correct
There is mo military threat. There is no military in Mexico threatening our security.
There is a threat and it cannot be effectively dealt with because the American law permits and even encourages invasion. The threat to our security is led by American lawyers. The threat of lawyers can not effectively be dealt with outside of the congress. The president is doing his best to mitigate the lawyers but the hoarde continues to penetrate the boarder.
“...no military threat on southern border...”
What a numbskull thing to say. Do these creeps think everyone on earth is just as stupid as THEY are?
Why would ANY enemy of the US need to outfit an ‘army’ to invade this country?
They only have to send ‘out-of-uniform’, crowds of America-hating terrorists to do the work for them.
Of course, it would be (has been) cheaper, more successful and drawing much less attention than a trained, equipped, armed and uniformed force would be.
This clown need to STFU! PRONTO
Shut up loser. The US military doesn’t even know how to explain a border security threat. Are terrorist a military threat! Hell no but the military contuses to hunt them down. You are an idiot and stupid as crap contrarian. I know the attention seeking type - Go away.
no, You are a fool to believe there is a military threat. The re is a threat but it is not military. There is no army ready to invade/
You have no concept of what is a military threat.
“...that proposed barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border could increase security against any potential military threats coming from the south.”
Nobody, no one, has even broached the notion that there is a military threat, in classical terms, coming from the southern border.
However, the RESULTS of having an unguarded border is the same.
This general is stupid to allow his words to be so directed as they were.
