re: Jeff Landry wants to send Louisiana National Guard to U.S.-Mexico border

And you’re correct, I don’t plan on standing guard at the border. When is your shift?

I voted for the guy that is making it happen. I support the actions. National guard is a voluntary enrollment and i'm not sure if they want early to mid 40 year olds enlisting.

’m pointing out that he’s been governor for a month and is already traveling to other states to offer them our limited resources while he has done nothing to directly help the people who elected him.

and how often did you start threads bitching about JBE's budgets?

How many threads did you start bitching about JBE's covid shutdown order?

You don't think shutting down illegal immigration will help our state? Again, drugs, crime, unemployment, healthcare, tax spending, insurance rates, overdoses, human trafficking, national security threats, all byproducts of the border. All require significant tax dollars to mitigate. But sending the guard there to help shut down this invasion is worse? Explain your logic, in detail. How does sending in the guard outweigh spending to combat all of the crimes the southern border invasion brings to this state. Or are you one of these people that think only border states have to deal with the problems of an open border?

What does this have to do with Jeff Landry?

The fact that you can't see it, is astounding. You advocate for the problem (illegal immigration/open borders). Yet you do nothing to bring the problem into your life to deal with yourself (help the illegals you tacitly accept in this country). You are ok with open borders as long as you, personally, don't have to deal with it.
