A White House official revealed later Tuesday to Fox News that the plan considered by Trump would be a \u201csubstantial\u201d mobilization of the National Guard.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil we can have a wall and proper security, we\u2019re going to be guarding our border with the military,\u201d he said. \u201cThat’s a big step, we really haven\u2019t done that before, or certainly not very much before.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a news conference later, he confirmed the plan, saying the border is unprotected by \u201cour horrible, horrible and very unsafe laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don’t have laws, we have catch-and-release,\u201d he said. \u201cYou catch and then you immediately release and people come back years later for a court case, except they virtually never come back.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this isn’t the first time a President has sent troops to secure the border. CNN remembers<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Under President George W. Bush, a border deployment of the National Guard known as Operation Jump Start started in 2006 and lasted two years. The operation sent more than 6,000 troops to California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to repair secondary border fence, construct nearly 1,000 metal barriers and fly border protection agents by helicopter to intercept immigrants trying to enter illegally.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the Obama administration deployed National Guard troops as part of a border protection plan.<\/p>\n

Officials in 2010 said up to 1,200 National Guard troops would be in place along the US-Mexico border for up to a year to assist US Customs and Border Protection with surveillance and intelligence gathering while the agency worked to hire additional staff. <\/p>\n

And in 2014, as a surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America crossed into the United States, Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced the activation of up to 1,000 National Guard troops to help secure the southern border.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The President is reacting to the swarm of Hondurans marching through Mexico to get to our borders and Mexico doesn’t seem motivated to stop the crowd of more than a thousand, even though Trump has threatened them with the NAFTA negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
