President Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday night to send the National Guard to the southern border immediately, a senior White House official told Fox News, in response to what the administration described as an “unacceptable” flow of drugs, criminal activity and illegal immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said at the White House press briefing that the signing would be done in conjunction with governors and that the administration hoped the deployment would begin “immediately.”
“Despite a number of steps this administration has taken…we continue to see unacceptable levels of illegal drugs, dangerous gang activity transnational criminal organizations and illegal immigration flow across our border,” she said.
“The president has directed that the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security work together with our governors to deploy our National Guard to our southwest border to assist the border patrol,” she said. “The president will be signing a proclamation to that effect today.”
Details about what the National Guard would do and how many would be deployed and for how long were not immediately disclosed.
I think this is known as “winning”…
Who is funding this?

This is an act of war by Mexico.
Mexico aids Easter invasion of over 1,000 illegals into US
Mexican officials have aided a “Holy Week” caravan of over 1,000 migrants headed to the U.S. border to demand Easter asylum, according to reports.
Mostly Hondurans, they posted celebration videos on Facebook and chanted “We are migrants. We are not criminals. We are workers.”
Anyone know any economic immigrants who have international cell phones to post vidoes whilst marching through rural Mexico? Who is paying for this?
The Mexicans are aiding this for one reason, make Trump look bad. Any modicum of pity or charity that I had for Mexico is now gone. They are nothing more than leeches.
There is a definite legal definition between immigrant and refugee. These folks are NOT refugees, they are immigrants pulling a stunt funded from above. You are certainly welcome in America, after you go through all of the hoops. Get in line.
If they want to play hardball, lets leave NAFTA and seal the border. They need us far more than we need them.
Happy Easter Everyone, Mine is next week…

Ever get up, drive to work, walk in and everyone looks at you funny?
Why are you here? Is then the next question. Then you hope and pray that they don’t need you so that you can go the hell home.
Yeah…BONUS DAY OFF! and I don’t have to be at work until Saturday Night.
WOOOT!
