As the Pentagon weighs diverting billions of dollars for President Donald Trump's border wall, top defense officials toured sections of the U.S.-Mexico border Saturday to see how the military could reinforce efforts to block drug smuggling and other illegal activity.Border security is under the purview of Department of Homeland Security, but Shanahan's Defense Department is weighing how it might assist amid President Trump's national emergency to build a border wall.DHS has yet to provide the details that Shanahan says he needs before making his decision on the repurposing of military construction funds. He has said he is likely to provide the full $3.6 billion the White House is expecting, plus $2.5 billion from the drug interdiction program.

This plays well in both parties, all races, all ethnic groups. We are all reading the same news stories. This is the Nixon vote and it belongs to Trump. If there was a better alternative yesterday, it is too late; the rate of flow suddenly increased in 2018.
This is where Gavin blew it. He should have kept his mouth shut and let the National Guard hang around at the border. That was the low cost strategy of Jerry.
