Militarizing Our Border

Vanessa Pasos, Reporter

On April 3, President Donald Trump announced that he has plans to send armed military to guard the border between Mexico and the United States until his promised wall is built. During a luncheon with the leaders of the Baltic states, Trump said, “Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military. That’s a big step.”

Donald Trump has allegedly mentioned funding the building of the wall through the U.S military budget to his advisers. Trump’s comment on border security comes just a few days after he went on Twitter to criticize the lax boarder security.
