President Trump on Saturday insisted that troops will be stationed at the southern border for as long as necessary, despite calls to send the service members home for Thanksgiving.

The fence is fully manned, nobody gets through, Trump said. When theyre caught, theyre not released.
Trump ordered U.S. troops to the U.S.-Mexico border last month in the lead-up to the midterm elections, saying they were necessary ahead of the arrival of a migrant caravan of Central American asylum seekers.

But I dont think he can be rid of Pence so easily.

(146,192 posts)so our troops in Texas will be in no danger from the oncoming horde of gangsters, criminals, rapists, etc. Trump is protecting American troops by locating them in a perfectly safe place. That's the genius that is Donwald Trump.
Meanwhile, at the border in California, there is constant gridlock at the border crossing, which will slow everyone down, including the evil "caravan."
