President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security just dropped a bombshell, requesting 20,000 National Guard troops to tackle immigration enforcement.
Breitbart reported that this move, if approved, would mark the first time the Guard is unleashed for an immigration crackdown inside U.S. borders. Buckle up, because the border’s about to get a lot less “open.”
The DHS is asking the Defense Department for a massive troop surge to bolster immigration efforts. This follows Trump’s order last week to DHS to beef up its ranks with 20,000 officers from state or federal agencies. The New York Times broke the story Thursday, and it’s already stirring the pot.
Trump’s been crystal clear: border security is priority number one. His administration’s laser-focused on reversing the chaos of Biden’s border policies, which turned the frontier into a revolving door. Actions have consequences, and Trump’s not wasting time cleaning up the mess.
Pentagon lawyers are now dissecting DHS’s request, particularly its focus on “interior immigration enforcement.”
A Defense Department official, speaking anonymously, admitted there’s confusion about what state National Guard members would do. Would they be rounding up deportees or just playing backup?
Historically, the National Guard’s been a supporting act at the border, handling logistics and security. This time, though, the script’s different—if approved, they’d be front and center in a domestic immigration crackdown. That’s a plot twist even M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t dream up.
The request comes after Trump’s January 2024 call to governors, urging them to deploy National Guard soldiers to push migrants back across the border. “Texas has rightly invoked the Invasion Clause,” Trump declared, framing the border as a “National Security Catastrophe.” He’s not mincing words, and neither should we.
Trump’s first 100 days back in office have been a game-changer, with illegal border crossings hitting historic lows, per Breitbart News.
The man declared the border a national emergency and slapped Mexican cartels with a Foreign Terrorist Organization label. That’s not just talk—that’s a knockout punch.
Meanwhile, ICE agents in Nashville, Tennessee, rounded up nearly 200 criminal illegal aliens, including killers, rapists, and drug dealers. This isn’t about “dreamers”; it’s about keeping communities safe from predators. The left’s sanctimonious hand-wringing can’t change those facts.
Trump’s also floating a “self-deport” plan, offering migrants cash and a “beautiful flight” back home. “We’re going to pay each one a certain amount of money,” he said, pitching it as a humane exit strategy. Sounds like a better deal than dodging ICE in the shadows.
Trump added that self-deportation could leave the door open for some to return legally. “It will give them a path to coming back,” he noted, dangling a carrot for compliance. But let’s be real: the stick’s ready if they don’t take the bait.
The Pentagon’s still chewing on whether state National Guard troops would be involved in deportations. The uncertainty’s got everyone on edge, especially those who thought “sanctuary cities” were a free pass. Sorry, folks, the party’s over.
Trump’s directive to DHS was a direct shot across the bow, demanding 20,000 new officers to lock down the border. The fact that DHS turned to the National Guard shows how serious this administration is. No more catch-and-release nonsense.
This DHS request isn’t just about numbers; it’s a signal that Trump’s done playing nice. The National Guard could redefine immigration enforcement, and the left’s open-border fantasy is crumbling fast. America’s back, and it’s not apologizing.
