Reynolds prepared to send National Guard troops from Iowa to border

IMO most states will respond correctly to the call up of Guard units. It's a great time for Pres Trump to use the call up as a "loyalty check." He should ask SECEF to request units from states with Democrat Governors or left leaning state governments. Challenge them to defy Federal authority then use it against the Democrats in the mid-term elections. If the Dems want to politicize everything, then lets do it. Politicize loyalty to the Nation.

I am impressed beyond my ability to describe it and hope we have more states participate until the wall is built. A caravan of Central American Immigrants recently stopped their Caravan in Mexico when the news broke the story that our troops will be involved with monitoring cross border traffic with all the Infra-Red and other heat imaging tools at their disposal. Our troops will aid with monitoring and detection and can't participate in arrests or any law enforcement actions so most people with trepidation over sending our troops to the border should relax their concerns. I would rather have them on our Mexican Border than patrolling Syrian, Afghanistan or Iraq providing targets for the opposition.

Maj Marty Hogan, nothing quite like state pride. And I thought only Texas had it. Semper Fidelis.
