What a clueless wonder, securing the border is national security and the Soldiers will not be eating MRE’s for Thanksgiving. He will say his words were taken out of context.
Via The Hill:
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) on Sunday said that it was scandalous for President Trump to keep troops at the southern border during Thanksgiving for “no national security reason.”
“Deploying troops to our own border for no national security reason is one of the biggest scandals of this Presidency,” Schatz said in a tweet. “These dedicated, skilled, highly trained men and women will likely miss Thanksgiving w family, are near American cities but eating MREs.”
“Let them go home,” he added.
The Trump administration is on track to send 7,000 active duty troops to the U.S-Mexico border to stay through Dec. 15.
Trump has suggested he may send upwards of 15,000 service members to meet the shrinking caravan of several thousand Central American migrants fleeing violence and poverty to seek asylum in the U.S.
