Trump to deploy National Guard to southwest border with Mexico, 'to assist Border Patrol' in fighting immigration

Which allows Canada to dump 99% of refugee claimants from Central and South America back on the United States.

Yup. No need to worry if the kid is one of those unattended minors that keep the US right awake at nights.

So did I until I remembered that the National Guard are nominally state militias. Or maybe Oregon has a soft spot for caravans?

Essentially using soldiers as extras in the political non-satire show “Trumpmurica”.

She said the National Guard troops would be deployed as quickly as possible and gave no indication of how long the mission might last. Asked how many troops would be involved, Nielsen declined to give a number, saying, “As many as is needed to fill the gaps today.”

=“Look, the president just told us about this yesterday. How can we possibly know how long they’re going to be there if we have no idea what the hell they’re going to be doing?”

The president CAN call up the national guard without any permission from the governors. So I wonder whether “working with governors” = “We’re going to try to get the states to call them up so that WE don’t have to pay for it.” That’s a tough bit of persuading to do even in Texas, unless Trump makes it clear that he doesn’t intend to run for reelection. Because about the only chance that a governor would agree to pay for this poorly thought out Charlie Foxtrot is if he was trying to get the nomination.

I think that. like with everything Donald does, America will pay for it; in embarrassment, and self-esteem, if nothing else.

That’s an excellent metaphor- a symbolic effort that didn’t even succeed on its own symbolic terms.

Is Orange under the delusion that Sicario was a documentary? Is that what’s going on?

On Breitbart, they’re busy slagging the Oregon Governor. For S&G, I posted:

“Won’t some champion of States Rights speak up here?”

A century and a half, if you count the Fenian Raids. A little over 2 if you’re just counting from the end of the War of 1812. (See also: the documentaries Canadian Bacon and The Canadian Conspiracy (“There’s no connection whatsoever between Lorne Green and Green Card” - Lorne Greene))

Well, Spanky clearly is a borderline case, so no real surprise here.
