Trump frustrated by border wall delays
Until he gets his border wall, President Donald Trump announced he wants to deploy the U.S. military to secure the border with Mexico. The White House later said Trump wants to mobilize the National Guard. The president was still fired up as he has been for days about illegal immigration. Federal law prohibits the use of active duty service members for law enforcement inside the U.S., unless specifically authorized by Congress. But over the past 12 years, presidents have twice sent National Guard troops to the border to bolster security and assist with surveillance and other support.
