WINNING: SecDef Pete Hegseth Tells Reporters, "All Options Are Open. We Will Secure the Border."
RedState ^ | Feb. 3rd, 2025 | WARD CLARK

Posted on 02/03/2025 2:57:31 PM PST by Texan4Life

"Border security is national security. Guys and gals of my generation have spent decades in foreign countries guarding other people's borders. It's about time we secure our own border. Tens of millions of people have poured across this border under Joe Biden's administration unchecked. We have no idea who they are. We have no idea where they're coming from. We have no idea what their intentions are. In many ways, under the Biden administration, and Tom (Homan) knows this better than anybody else, they were facilitated, their entry into this country. THAT STOPS NOW under President Trump and the Defense Department is proud to be a part of it. We have defended other places and other spaces. We will defend this line!"

And about Hegseth - I have not heard anything about getting the mentally ill out of the service. Have all those transvestites been discharged? Seems to be getting little news.

About time.
Full on, 100% border security should have been implemented on 09/12/2001.
Rank and file military (like me at the time) fully understood this and couldn’t believe it wasn’t done immediately.

Now Mexico is sending troops to the border, so why not the USA?
The military is charged with protecting our country, and we are being invaded. So they can protect our border.

What about, like WWII, Japanese invaded Aleutian islands.
Should our military just let them do it and not fight back, because that would be fighting on US territory?
NO!

I love how they all list President Trump first when putting out these notices. They know who is on charge and respect him.

The 10,000 Mexican army troops may or may not be on the take from the Cartels, or they may actually be cartel troops. Who is to say?

Any mojado coming across the Rio Grande presenting arms should be shot once he steps foot on Texas soil.

As long as Americans realize Canadians are NOT rushing into the US like they are from Mexico. Entirely different situation.

I watched a video last week on the border...US troops deplaning from multiple Osprey aircraft....picking up weapons from pallets of rifles...also big rolls of concertina razor wire on pallets.....Trucks unloading red ladders and preformed jigs that were being welded to the wall so that ladders can be placed horizontally allowing soldiers to install razer wire on the top of the wall.

USAF RC35-V Rivet Joint spy plane conducting surveillance right now over the Gulf of California which is Mexican territory. Hunting cartels most likely.

Relax dude, he's got more important things to worry about right now.....

Crap, he's only been in the job for nine days now, how much do you expect!

I know, God created the universe in only seven days, but Pete isn't God......Sheesh!

That will come, and probably soon. Now he’s dealing with the crash of a military helicopter, and the southern border.

I supposed he has some kick-ass staff at the Pentagon who are working 10-12 hours a day to handle solving DEI issues, and doing the paperwork for termination.

The good news is that for every cross-dressing psycho who’ll be leaving, the ones who refused the vax are being invited back.
