Biden admin asks for 1,500 troops at US-Mexico border

The troops would focus on administrative tasks so that Customs and Border Protection agents can work in the field, sources said.

Well it's election year and you know what that means? Time for our current administration to act like they're doing something

Why not just have the immigrants join the army and send them to Ukraine. Gotta fight to become a citizen.

We dont need the 1500 military; we need a President will brains and balls

[natashacoon]

Our border should be closed They need to fix their own country not come here and destroy with Bidens help!! This country needs Trump ASAP!!!

[lichtenjj]

We send our soldiers to our border to help people immigrate illegally. The president by no means should ever use the military to help people violate our laws. Impeach this man.
Edit: upon reading into this it appears they intentionally left out that the troops will be helping border police and immigration officers handle the greater quantity of migrants instead of helping migrants cross the border.

Too little, too late. The usual grandpa tactic 😵‍💫

[raziele]

Yup, we need more people to fill up the paperwork for those folks.

Since when does a resident have to ask for unarmed troops?
A real commander in chief makes orders, like send 1500 unarmed troops to the border immediately.

Send in the 🤡🤡🤡

[dejay]

Are these troops registering new voters ?

[jeffreyyeater]

[curtrice]

The U.S. should be ashamed of itself 😢 .

[deborahronstadt]
