And they mocked Trump's tweets and kept referring to it as a "caravan", in quotation marks. Now we know that it was indeed a caravan and a single tweet turned them around. What did Obama do?
Someone else already point this out, but I feel the need to do it again. This is soooo obviously a photo from India. If you doubt it, it's easy to do a Google image search. A little research can do a lot for "fake news"
The NG can be and has been armed in the past resulting in deaths while restoring or enforcing law and order.
Elements of the Ohio Army National Guard were ordered to Kent State University by Ohio's governor Jim Rhodes to quell anti-Vietnam War protests, culminating in their shooting into a crowd of students on May 4, 1970, killing four and injuring nine.
During the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, when portions of south central Los Angeles erupted in chaos, overwhelming the Los Angeles Police Department's ability to contain the violence, the California Army National Guard and selected units of the California Air National Guard was mobilized to help restore order. The National Guard were attributed with five shootings of people suspected of violating the curfew order placed on the city.
If you think that it's only refugees coming here you are badly mistaken. Criminals, economic seekers and those from known terrorist countries, etc. are slipping in right along with them according to the former FBI Director. We cannot keep taking in hundreds of thousands of refugees or illegal aliens. Enough is enough!! We don't have the resources and jobs for all of them. We don't have an endless supply of taxes and natural resources either. I'm tired of our country being the flophouse and employment agency to the whole world. I swear you bleeding hearts are going to be the death of this country yet. All this concern for foreigners and none for the needs and rights of our own citizens.
Our fears are not illogical based on the above. You keep throwing the fear card just to make us look ridiculous when our concerns are not ridiculous.
These school kids you refer to will have to be supported by the taxpayer. Stop blaming the U.S. for their plight and instead blame the countries that they come from and the cowards that their citizens are not to stay and make their countries better. I am sick of this BS!
Really, glad that you are not in charge of the world. I can see why you adore Trump and his 1920's attitude.

You do realize that picture you posted was from India?

I'm pretty sure that the school kids I was referring to are American citizens.
Interesting that for some illegals are always the default though.
I'm glad he did it. Hopefully it sticks but I'd expect the liberals to lose their minds over this one. What's really funny is all I've been reading (on here) today is how Trump can't do what he just did.
LOVE IT!
I'm not sure where you saw people saying this. I said repeatedly that the President could deploy the National Guard to support the Border Patrol. After all, both Obama and Bush also sent the National Guard to help the Border Patrol during their administrations. The governor of Texas also sent the National Guard to assist the Border Patrol in that state.
As I and others did point out, however, as in previous administrations, the National Guard will be limited to support functions. They'll be doing things like monitoring the electronic surveillance systems in the southern parts of the county, providing helicopter support for border patrol work, etc.
Federal law prohibits the National Guard (and other arms of the full time military) from doing things like arresting, detaining, and interrogating people on U.S. soil when another law enforcement agency (the Border Patrol, ICE) is already doing that. But, I'm sure it will be helpful to the border patrol to be freed up from more routine tasks, just as it was during the Obama and Bush administrations.
As someone who lives right by the border, I have no problem with the National Guard giving that support to the Border Patrol, just as I didn't during Obama and Bush's terms.
