Nevada’s GOP governor: Border duty not ‘an appropriate use' of National Guard

Nevada’s GOP governor has come out against President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Brian Sandoval said in an email to the Associated Press Friday that Sandoval doesn’t believe deploying members to the border would be “an appropriate use” of the National Guard.

Defense Secretary James Mattis signed a memo Friday authorizing the National Guard to deploy up to 4,000 troops to the border.

Trump had announced last week that the military would send troops to defend the southern border until his border wall was completed. The White House later clarified that the National Guard would be sent to the border.

Arizona and Texas have both stated that they will send troops to the border starting this weekend.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) vowed Thursday to reject the request to send National Guard troops to the border.

Actually GUARDING the borders of our country-protecting it from invasion- is the ONLY logical use for the National Guard. IMO they don’t belong in other countries for any reason. We need them right here-guarding the nation!

Here’s the article on Oregon’s governor:

Based on her policies and actions I have to conclude that she is in the pot cartel’s pocket. That may be why she wants a porous border.

It is exactly why the Guard was created.

Remember back in 2010 how the left was upset and raising hell when Barack Obama sent National Guard troops to help ICE police the Mexican border?

Yeah. So what is the purpose of the NATIONAL GUARD, Spanky? The nation is being invaded by foreigners violating U.S. laws. Geez. This stuff isn’t rocket science. Next time, I’ll tell you why the Coast Guard has so many boats.

Evidently, definitions-like gender- are 'fluid' these days. It doesn't mean what we think it means.

It's time we asked such people-on the record- WHY DON'T you want a secure border? Why DON'T you want the world pouring over our borders? Do you have a locked door on your home? Why not on our national home?

Hopefully, the National Guard won’t be used in the same manner that Obonzo and Dubya used them at the border. Handing out bottles of water and welcome baskets to the illegals and changing their kids’ sh*tty diapers.

That should be: Why DO you want the world pouring over our borders?

I’m not sure about the law. I just suggest the governor may not share the same sense of urgency that bordering states do.
