Biden sending 1,500 troops for Mexico border migrant surge
2023-05-03
Inspired by Grereter Flomoque6369’s post yesterday of Fox News’s live Pentagon briefing about this deployment. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the link was only useful during the window when the briefing took place. I wish I had seen it in the hopper in time, but I spent the day with my mother instead.
[ABCnews] The Biden administration will send 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border amid an expected migrant surge following the end of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic-era restrictions


The Biden administration will send 1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border starting next week, ahead of an expected migrant surge following the end of coronavirus pandemic-era restrictions.

#6  Malicious compliance in a rules-based organization like the military may lead to some amusing results.

#5  This is a facilitation deployment. They are not there to help secure the border but to help continue the current policy, which may unfortunately require some tamping down of local CnC.

#2  Make no mistake. The task of Federal troops will not be to contain or control the migrants. The task of Federal troops will be to contain or control Texas authorities and local residents.

#1  ....1500 troops. Nice.

What will they be allowed to do? Besides nothing, that is.
