Trump builds that wall ... out of troops

[hazard]

That is not what I said and you know it Dartz. :-(

The national guard troops are not even allowed to stop the border crosses when they catch them in the act, its basically being mall cops, observe and report, take no actual action.

Make it to where they can arrest the border crossers, which is breaking the law, and then throw them back across the border with prejudice, and the crossings will slow.

There are many very good reasons not to deploy the military for law enforcement duties. Including, if I'm not mistaken, Posse Comitatus laws that forbid it outside of declared emergencies.
