    From the same article in the OP.

    The action mirrored that of his immediate predecessors, with President George W. Bush having deployed roughly 6,000 members of the National Guard from 2006 to 2008 and President Barack Obama sending about 1,200 National Guard members to the border in 2010.

    For his push, Trump garnered commitments from governors to deploy 1,600 National Guards troops to states bordering Mexico, though the president initially sought 2,000 to 4,000 to be deployed.

    A Border Patrol spokeswoman told the Times that the troops deployed have assisted with 3,924 deportations, 1,116 "turn backs" of migrants into Mexico and the seizure of 3,486 pounds of marijuana.

    Those border patrol agents are keeping future Dem voters on the south side of the border.

    No I know the democrats hate national security and Lie. In 1986 Kennedy said we would close the border and would never need another amnesty

    They fight a fence now a wall. They will spend money on anything else. They want open borders so more illegals can someday vote for democrats. Look at the democrat with their sanctuary cities that help illegal to stay here. The democrats as always supports criminals and hates our laws

    Lots of Dems have suddenly changed their stances on border security as offers to the #Resistance movement. As time goes by, however, will they ever revert back to their previous stances (such as bipartisan support of additional fencing back in 2006)?

    Plus, what the post above mine said about sanctuary cities/California.

    They have added MORE border patrol agents under Bush and Obama.
