I saw an article in a search for El Paso local news today while at work.

The headline was something like Diocese takes in 150 migrants.

So they are already arriving. Saddest part was it said they arrived in 3 buses from ICE. It said the policy was to release them into the community because ICE had no facilities to house the asylum seekers.

So what good will troops on the border really do? I was hoping Trump would be tougher.

I worked JTF-6 in the 80’s and 90’s south of our border....... We did “not” have powers to arrest but we “did” have the powers to detain for our own protection. Armed and detaining a bad guy with force..... or armed and arresting a bad guy with force . It got done, troops on the border will do the job.....

Trump is hampered by asylum law I suppose. If they request asylum, I believe they get to enter based on the law. Maybe I’m wrong.

As I understand it international law (bleh!) states that refugees must accept asylum from the first state that offers it. Mexico offered. They refused. Now they're S.O.L.

The whole purpose for the military is actually to defend USA from invasion.

Good news! I just worry about some of these migrants who may be carrying.

Wonder who organized this debacle.
