President Donald Trump made a new threat Wednesday to send armed soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border.

U.S. troops are already at the border to help reduce illegal crossings.

Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!
