DAN PATRICK: These troops might be doing little or no once they arrive there besides be in clerical positions. Let us take a look at your complete image. You’ve gotten a president who does not know the place he is been, does not know the place he’s or the place he is going. A vice chairman that may’t string ten phrases collectively for a coherent sentence…and by the best way, she’s the border czar, a homeland safety secretary that continues to inform Congress the border is safe. After which the press secretary who mentioned the opposite day that border crossings had been down 90% whereas she knew they had been sending these Nationwide Guard once more, who’re going to be in assist, they can not work together with these crossing illegally. They’re going to do nothing to cease it. They do not wish to cease it.
