Washington DC Mayor Bowser's second request for National Guard help with migrant 'crisis' denied by Pentagon


For the second time, the Pentagon denied a request on Monday by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser to activate the National Guard to assist with thousands of migrants who have been arriving in the nation's capital in recent months.

Bowser first asked for National Guard help last month, but it was rejected by the Pentagon on Aug. 4. She then sent another letter on Aug. 11, requesting that 150 National Guard troops be deployed to "help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in our nation's capital resulting from the daily arrival of migrants."

Defense Department executive secretary Kelly Bulliner Holly wrote in a letter to Bowser on Monday that the D.C. National Guard is not trained to assist migrants and activation would lead to "diminished readiness" for the troops.

=====================================

Toughen up Bowser. You only have a small fraction of what small towns in Texas are getting. So we have plenty of illegals to send you. There will be more being sent to your city for you to take care of. Do you have a guest room? You better make sure you have clean sheets on the bed. :laugh:
 
Good for the Pentagon.
This is NOT what the National Guard is for.

If the migrants start rioting?
Fine - send them out.

But what the fuck are they supposed to do with this bunch?
Hug them?

Feeding and housing them is NOT the NG's job.
That is up to government bureaucracies and/or charities.

This sounds like a loser mayor is trying to pawn off his responsibilities on America's, brave soldiers.
And when I was in the Reserves?
I probably would have resented being asked to baby sit migrants for this loser mayor.
