Trump Sends Troops To Southern Border

Just two days into his new term, President Donald Trump has quickly implemented his border security promises. After swiftly signing executive orders to curb illegal immigration, the administration is now enforcing security measures at the southern border.

U.S. officials confirmed Wednesday the Pentagon is moving forward with plans to send up to 1,500 active-duty troops to the southern border. Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses is expected to sign off on the deployment orders later today. However, specifics regarding which troops will be deployed and their exact mission remain unclear.

The number of troops could change based on evolving needs, and it is yet to be determined whether they will engage in law enforcement duties—a role that would mark a significant shift for the military. The decision to send troops follows President Trump’s firm campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration and fortify the southern border.

Officials who spoke to Fox59 requested anonymity because the announcement is still pending. Active-duty troops are set to deploy alongside the approximately 2,500 U.S. National Guard and Reserve forces currently stationed at the border, where no active-duty soldiers are currently assigned.

These additional forces will assist border patrol agents by providing logistical support and transportation and helping with the construction of barriers. Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order directed the Pentagon to deploy sufficient troops to secure “complete operational control of the southern border of the United States.”

1,500?
That's a drop in the bucket.

They're going to need 20-30,000 to plug all the "leaks" and serve as sufficient intimidation to the gangs and smugglers.

All these reports in the past couple of days about actions being taken in cities like Boston, etc. ... all well and good.

But... the PROOF OF THE PUDDING is in what's happening down along the border.
Are they still getting across?
What's happening to those who come into contact with the border patrol?
Are they getting returned immediately?

When there's a big hole in the side of the ship, you "plug the hole" FIRST, and THEN worry about bilging out the seawater that has poured inside...

EDIT:

Hmmm...
Looks pretty good, if this is to be believed:
