With a month elapsed since President Donald Trump sent 1,600 troops to the U.S. Mexico border, the president of the border patrol union is calling the move “a colossal waste of resources,” according to a Thursday Los Angeles Times report.
“When I found out the National Guard was going to be on the border I was extremely excited,” union president Brandon Judd told the Times, adding that past deployments have lifted the heavy workload for stationed officers. “That has not happened at all” with Trump’s deployment, he added.
He reportedly said that the National Guard’s effectiveness has significantly dropped off from past deployments since this time, they must stay out of the “public eye” and can’t even man lookout posts.
“We generally support the administration, but we’re not going to be cheerleading when things are not going well,” Judd told the Times.
You jackbooted morons. The orange thing doesn’t care any more about you than he does about anyone on the planet who is not him.
This won’t be on Trump’s “Despots of Instagram” feed.
The Deployment is one hundred percent effective. It brought the required PR and allowed grandstanding as needed. Actually doing something, not important.
History will record this as the Prime policy in every facet of the Trump Mal-Administration.
Well put
Posse Comitatus is a thing.
Our next class will be on Executive Order 12333. There will be a test.
