Most of the Democratic politicians who criticized former President Donald Trump for deploying troops to the southern border have been silent on the Biden administration’s decision to do the same.
There will be 1,500 military personnel sent to the southern border to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for 90 days, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
“The Biden administration’s militarization of the border is unacceptable. There is already a humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere, and deploying military personnel only signals that migrants are a threat that require our nation’s troops to contain. Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who is one of only two Democrats out of the 82 who were critical of the Trump administration at the time, to publicly criticize the Biden administration.
