Trump to sign proclamation to send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border

President Trump will sign a proclamation Wednesday sending National Guard troops to the southern border to ramp up security efforts, the administration announced, after days of warnings from the president about the dangers of illegal immigration.

The National Guard will be sent to assist Border Patrol agents until legislation is passed to close “loopholes” that the Trump administration says allow certain undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and the “catch-and-release” policy is ended, according to a person familiar with the expected White House proposal. Catch and release is a practice of releasing undocumented immigrants from custody while they await their hearings.

Since “catch and release” has been called to an end, when does “catch and dispatch” begin, since we are using military troops to stem a recognized invasion?

I like the concept, but this is a short-term solution; most Guardsmen have regular jobs.

Per a Q drop this is more than just being about illegals crossing.

I understand it wasn’t a duplicate. I was linking

That, on top of the “nuclear option” mentioned by the President, will do just fine.

Let's hope they actually give the Guardsman ammunition.

Because if they don't have this

Wonder if the wording will include “shoot to kill”?

“Proclamation”?

An order, maybe.

I seem to remember some NG personnel dispatched (officially) to some Airports after 9/11 and had unloaded weapons.

If true, the local boy or girl scout troop would have been as effective...Putting people with weapons and no ammo on the ‘front line’ just makes them a target, not exactly a deterrent.

If you have armed resistance, then sure. Also can we do seismic scans for massive tunnels under the border too?

“.....do seismic scans for massive tunnels under the border too?”......

This has been and will continue to be a problem, having a wall or not. I suspect there are still a number of walls that have gone undetected.
