WASHINGTON (AP) — Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has told Congress that the military needs to return to its traditional missions, and he wants to know how much longer troops will be needed at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Shanahan tells a House appropriations subcommittee that he needs to determine how many more agents and other workers the Homeland Security Department must have to fulfill the border mission.


His comments come just days after the Pentagon said it would send 320 more active-duty troops to the border for tasks that put them in closer contact with migrants. Those duties include driving buses, serving food and providing medical support.


President Donald Trump ordered more than 5,000 active-duty forces to the border last October to help construct wire barriers and support the border patrol.

Question for Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan


Why are you using the military to assist an invasion, instead of stopping an invasion?

Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan should be fired immediately for turning a blind eye to the nation wrecking illegal alien invasion of our open borders.

The US military has no higher purpose than to enforce Article IV of the US Constitution and protect our nation and states from invasion in any form.

Of course Shanahan is Trump's pick to replace James Mattis.

When is the "MISSION" to protect the rest of the World's borders going to end you TRAITOR?


Bring our troops home now!

Our mission should be to protect OUR borders...not the rest of the World.

Pumping TRILLIONS of our dollars putting troops all over the damn Globe! Our money...bring them home!

TURN THESE CRIMINAL TRESPASSING, FOREIGNERS, WHO ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS AWAY FROM OUR BORDER AND GET THEM OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS!


IMPLEMENT THE MISSION "OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER" AND GET THEM OUT OF HERE!
