Trump sending troops to Mexico border amid coronavirus threat
By Mark Moore, NY Post, April 1, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementThe Trump administration is sending more than 500 troops to the nation’s border with Mexico to back up immigration officials as they try to prevent people infected by the coronavirus from entering the US, according to a report.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper approved a request from the Department of Homeland Security seeking 540 military personnel to support Customs and Border Protection operations on the border, Fox News reported late Tuesday.
“At a time when Americans face a profound public health and national security threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that the men and women of law enforcement have the support they need to prevent public health threats from entering the country through our borders,” a Homeland Security official told Fox News.
The troops will help the border patrol officers in detection and monitoring activity on the border but as in past instances will not be involved in law enforcement, officials said.
The request is to bolster the CBP because of the increased strain on officers in conducting health and security measures. The US already has roughly 5,000 military personnel at the border.

SUSPEND ALL FORMS OF IMMIGRATION!3 years agoGreat idea! Maybe they can stop all the so-called refugees coming through and from the US trying to get into Canada.

3 years agoIn a few short weeks and days the entire conversations have been changed. Its the silver lining of the CCP Virus attack on the US and the West. Perhaps, its the law of unintended consequences working to save the West from its own venality and materialism. Confirmation bias is a sweet drug, and CCP Virus is the gift that keeps on giving. Open Borders? Bad idea. Closing borders? Apparently easy. Relying on foreigners for all your goods instead of producing them yourself? Never imagined that could go wrong. Strong governments are way better at crisis management than indecisive Liberal Democracies? Who’d have guessed?
