AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration raids

Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

Nope....The Daily Beast, (No conservative outlet for sure has this up)....

"The Department of Homeland Security is roundly condemning an Associated Press story that broke Friday morning about considering the use of the National Guard to “round up” undocumented immigrants. The DHS says that isn’t true, and—contra the AP’s reporting—that DHS Secretary John Kelly didn’t write the draft memo.

“The Department is not considering mobilizing the National Guard,” said Gillian Christensen, the acting press secretary for DHS.

A DHS official told The Daily Beast that the memo the AP cited was an early, pre-decisional draft, that Kelly never approved it, and that the department as a whole never seriously considered it."

So was the memo written by someone in the DHS or not? I truely am not sure

Yeah, neither am I....If you take DHS's word for it, they deny even writing the memo....If you take some of the outlets reporting this breathlessly, then it's everything from accurate, to Trump is about to construct a death star, and summon the storm troopers....haha....I have no freakin' clue....
 
Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

My point was how did you know it was real. Now I see DHS said it was a rough draft.

Still to my original point. Not considered by Secretary or President.


Well it's finally come to this...

General Mattis Crosses Potomac With 100,000 Troops; President, Senate Flee City

WASHINGTON — In an unprecedented turn in American history, retired Marine Gen. James Mattis, several years after being dismissed by the President and exiled to his estate in the countryside, marched on the national capitol early Tuesday morning with an army over one hundred thousand strong.

This number includes at least ten infantry legions, several aviation and artillery legions, and multiple cavalry cohorts.

“I come in peace, by myself, in order to hand-deliver a Memorandum of Concern to the Commander in Chief and the Senate,” said Mattis in a press conference. “I am moving on foot at a leisurely pace, with no ill will. If these American citizens choose to take a stroll with me, then who am I to turn down their companionship?

Mattis was apparently done waiting, and crossed the Potomac on landing craft, escorted by a Marine Raider honor guard regiment. However, after setting fire to the National Archives and sabotaging key infrastructure, the cabinet and most members of the Senate fled north toward New York and Boston in cars, vans and whatever other vehicles they could commandeer.

The President has not been seen since early yesterday morning, but sources inside the State Department confirm that he is on a scheduled goodwill trip to Egypt, which was kept from the press for safety reasons. His travel schedule has not been released to pool reporters.

Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

Every day, another drama queen freak out by the left.

Lol, how did you guys get out of bed?
 
Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

General Kelly's memo is dated January 25th. That is the same date as the Trump-Bannon disastrous EO on immigration. Gen. Kelly's memo said it was pursuant to the EO of January 25th, i.e., toward implementing it from the DHS perspective.

If the White House did not know of Kelly's memo of January 25th then the whole gang of 'em at 1600 should be fired, right on up to Trump. And if the WH did know about the general's memo of January 25th as of January 25th, they should all be fired anyway.

That's bs

If they memo never left homeland security then there's no reason for the White House to see it

Before anything can acturally happen the White House and all the state governments would have be to involved and that has not happened
 
Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

The radical right has recently changed its tune about Trump the Action Man doing what he promised.

Now suddenly Trump and his people high up are doing nothing if we listen to the Right Sector.

Busted.

I hope trump can shake the yap dogs in the lib media off his pants leg soon and get back to what he was elected to do

Yeah, I saw that...So, we are left with it seems SOP for the Trump administration...DHS denies it, but then writes it, and says they never considered it...So, which is it?.....I certainly am not going to even attempt that one....lol

Trump knew it and he knew it on or before January 25th.

There's no question on this of what did Trump know and when did he know it.

Anyone who thinks Trump was in the dark about this crackpot scheme involving the National Guard seizing immigrants can come now to get a bridge in Brooklyn on the cheap.

Tangmo, is there ANYTHING showing that the POTUS knew of this on or before Jan. 25th as you claim, other than you trying to say "he knew, come on!" :shrug:

My take

Some one was instructed to write it, as part of a wide number of options. But as an option it was rejected fairly early. Overall I am sure that they had quite a few proposals on how to handle illegal immigration and a significant number were rejected, this one happened to get leaked. Which to me is not a bad thing, considering all options is something that should be done, it is the option that is take is what matters

Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do -- to **** up everything he touches.

A vote for Trump was a vote for a gang**** and nothing but and nothing less.

Who couldn't see that?

Never mind.

I congratulate the left on a pretty good rear guard action against trump so far

But sooner or later you will run out of diversions

Who ever leaked that is in a heap of doo doo with Kelly.....Nothing classified in this one, but come on, at this point you have the AP not even checking to see if it is real or not....I mean, they said they tried and couldn't get a response, so they run it anyway? And that's journalism?

Trump the immigrant basher doesn't have even a shred of plausible deniability.

He's appointing military brass hats to key positions in his administration. Mattis is okay even if I myself don't like a general as SecDef. Kelly is a jerk and Flynn was out to lunch after getting fired from the military for being OTT.

Budgets are tight, there aren't enough agents and Trump luvs the military and military solutions. The memo has been in circulation since January 25th, the day the Trump-Bannon immigration "extreme vetting" EO was issued.

I'd already said if Trump didn't know he should be fired. If Trump knew he should be fired. Trump fired Flynn for getting caught. We saw with Iran-Contra Potus is shielded. That however only goes so far, as we saw with Tricky Dicky.

Who didn't know back on November 8th we were going to get this madness from the radical wildman ignoramus Donald Trump. All Trump knows is call out the National Guard or send in the Marines.

This madhouse scheme is classic Trump.

Ok, we get it, you don't like President Trump, or his administration....But, you have NOTHING to back up that the memo was "circulated" beyond those who file 13nd it at homeland security....And all of the angry adjectives are not bolstering anything other than your rage filled posting style, which I will steer clear of...I was just curious anyway...Have a better night friend.

Trump = Chaos.

Some things never change.

It's going to be a long grind that may not go to term.

Mitch McConnell said yesterday Mike Pence is the "indispensable" person in this administration.

Food served up for thought.

AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration raids - CBS News



To me this is just another example of the all-out attack of the lib news media against trump

But at least CBS included the White House denial in their version of the story

I agree with you that this story is designed to stir up ****, but you can take solace in this next little tidbit...if you want to believe an unnamed source:

Via Mike Cernovich:

Multiple sources within the WH have told me that the “memo” on the 100K National Guard soldiers was fake news designed to smoke out leaker.

— Mike Cernovich ���� (@Cernovich) February 17, 2017

Same group who leaked the National Guard “memo” also created the fake news story about Flynn. @realDonaldTrump is FURIOUS. #BringBackFlynn https://t.co/JYsbs49R55

— Mike Cernovich ���� (@Cernovich) February 17, 2017

Give 10 different people 10 different copies of the “same” memo. Include 1 different words or typos in each. Oldest trick in the book.

Re: AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration rai

If it were done, I would be against it. Since it isn't being done, there's nothing to be against.

Were you for it, before you were against it?
