Trump signed proclamation to send NG to border. It should have the desired effect on national security and trade. NAFTA (soldiers, how much)

It won't stop one cartel drug shipment.

The border patrol and their opinion is relevant.

The cartels don't cross the border on the ground at border stations.

The GOP has never sold anything but fear. That's why they love the NRA so much.

This is why you should watch the White House youtube videos of his meetings. In the lunch round table meeting with the three Baltic presidents a few days ago, he answered a question from one of the presstitutes about the National Guard on the border. Most of the presstitutes don't even know what the Baltic states are and they have their DNC talking points so ask unrelated questions. Trump said security will be part of his negotiations with NAFTA. I'm assuming one point would be Mexico enforcing their border to prevent people crossing. God forbid their own border guards enforce their border. They've gotten lazy since how many Americans cross illegally into Mexico?

Smart move by the President. Lets hope its a large force with necessary aircraft and surveillance measures.

On trade its puts negotiations in a different light. Mexico will know we are serious about both trade and securing the border.

It should allow more BP to secure the Ca border where the Gov. is likely not to cooperate.

Replace the "to sign" with "did sign" in the link as there are question that still apply.

Did ANYBODY say he COULD?

Do some reading BEFORE making ignorant statements.

There is a huge BP presence building on the local border here. They even pulled everyone from the check points for use at the border.

He asked a question, he stated his lack of understanding on an issue, and made NO statement, ignorant or otherwise.

No doubt you have the signed statements from the cartel members to that effect. Get that over to the BP supervisors so they don't waste their time looking for them.
