OK friends, the orange skidmark has pulled this Cheeto out of his lower pucker pit: National Guard on the border to provide “National Security”. We all know we need more of that because we are all so very afraid.
So, here's the deal. We currently have around 20,000 border patrol agents in the good ole' US of A. ('Murika). The number has doubled (almost) since 2004. I didn't even factor in ICE agents who are as thick as fleas. Our border with Mexico is 1933 miles long; Compare that to the US/Canada border at 3987 miles long, not counting the 1538 miles between Alaska and Canada. Canada has 14,172 agents which include Customs and Revenue, Food Inspection and Enforcement.
Do you think they need their Army to augment that number? My opinion is this is just another of his brain dribbles that fell out of his pie hole after an invigorating morning with Fox and Friends, his defacto advisory council. I guess his biggly plan is to have everyone link arms at the border and sing "Ba fungoul" (I know I didn't spell it right.)
Our dearly beloved Republican Congress Critters continue to offer crickets for his behavior.
My conclusion: We are all screwed. He just gets crazier with each passing day.
