Sending that many military to the border would have a serious impact on our ability to carry out missions overseas. You guys seem to think that the military is a catch all for whatever, but it's not.
If anyone was looking for a real solution, they would increase the size of the Border Patrol (who's mission it is), or increase the size of law enforcement in border towns. But, it won't happen, because many people would bitch about the added expense.
I would be all for increasing the size of the border patrol. Sending military would only be a stop gap measure..Problem is, in Biden's budget it was more important to increase the size of the IRS by 80,000
members. And you have some Democrats who were clamoring to remove ICE from cities and reduce the size of our police forces.
My point was more that if your going to send military in the first place.... then just do it like you mean it and achieve a goal. Dont waste the time of a couple thousand troops. Increasing the Border patrol size would be the best course of action.
