Trump Is Serious

Here’s one reason why Donald Trump needs people he can trust at the Pentagon: He is serious about reversing the damage caused by four years of insane open border policies.

The first indication of Trump’s seriousness came with the appointment of Tom Holman as Border Czar. Holman said that the first illegal aliens to be deported will be the 1.3 million who have been through the system and ignored court deportation orders.

A second indication came this morning. Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, posted a message to social media saying that the incoming Trump administration is “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets” for a “mass deportation program.”

President-elect Trump responded to Fitton by posting, “TRUE!!”

As I have noted before, the Pentagon initially resisted Trump’s efforts to deploy U.S. troops to secure the border, and I have no doubt he will face resistance again.
