The Mexican foreign ministry says U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has told Mexico’s top diplomat that U.S. National Guard troops being deployed to the border “will not carry arms or carry out migration or customs control activities.”

Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray is in Washington on a visit. A foreign ministry statement issued Wednesday night says Nielsen told Videgaray that the troops will only be providing support for Department of Homeland Security work.

Womp womp.

Welfare program.

Maybe it would be cheaper to let them in?

No need for military. Trump can use well-regulated volunteer militias and private contractors such as Academi to defend the border. Problem solved.

I will wait for trustworthy confirmation.

The military solution is always the cheapest solution, we can build a wall with free lunch to stop people from coming here for free lunch and reward the people who build the wall with free lunch. Plus its already in the budget so its not even any extra money, its money that would of been spent otherwise so its conservative.

 

[Danke]

So what exactly is the military going to do? Shoot trespassers? Catch and release according to federal law? If so, whats the point?

You don't have to guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Jump_Start

I knew many at the time who did this duty and thought it was worthless.

Nevermind that problems with our port entries.

This is pure bullshit smoke and mirrors and makes a good dog and pony show ( A very expensive one to be sure) for Trumps base

Will they have police powers?

Why would they need to be armed? You've stated that they will not be enforcing domestic law and also will not be invading Mexico. That leaves them doing nothing.

 

[EBounding]

Military Wall, fuck yea!

Of course it would. But then some here who don't want to suffer the displeasure of having them in their general proximities would have to endure that.

That's EXACTLY my POV.

"The Mexicans are coming! The Mexicans are coming! The Mexicans are coming!"

And meanwhile, as many run around with their hands in the air screaming over the "alien invasion", we lose our gun rights, and most other rights, REAL ID becomes real, wars get bigger, and gov becomes more corrupt and unaccountable.

But, hey that's OK- 'cause dem brown people cain't be here, and we all know all of America's problems come from them, amirite?

If you do believe in people's ability to be honest, show us the way.

Fixed. And not all the problems come from them, but, I would say that the problems aren't any smaller because of them, either.

Take for instance, gun control, which I believe was mentioned:

http://www.pewhispanic.org/2014/10/...10-latino-voters-2014-midterm-election-02-02/

14%. Just 14% of foreign-born Hispanics polled favored protecting the right of Americans to own guns.

14. Percent.

14 out of 100

Fourteen

Why do you have to bring race to the discussion? Are you a racist?

You're right. Going to check my white privilege. BRB.

Yep, say's here specifically in paragraph G, page 109, "not allowed to have opinion on border security or else RACIST!"

My bad.
