President Trump orders National Guard to the Mexican border
(Worthy News) – President Trump on Wednesday formally ordered the Pentagon and Homeland Security to deploy National Guard troops to the Mexican border to stem illegal crossings and drug trafficking.
As critics accused Trump of playing politics with border security, the White House did not provide specifics in terms of number of National Guard troops, length of service on the border, or financial costs. It remains unclear exactly how Trump’s order would work, given that National Guard troops are more often deployed domestically under the control of state governors for disaster response.
“A key and undeniable attribute of a sovereign nation is the ability to control who and what enters its territory,” the president’s memo said. “The situation at the border has now reached a point of crisis. The lawlessness that continues at our southern border is fundamentally incompatible with the safety, security, and sovereignty of the American people. My administration has no choice but to act.” [ Source: USA Today (Read More…) ]
