If the POTUS can send the army into whichever city he chooses at his convenience then why hasn’t he done so yet? Why aren’t their troops patrolling the south side of Chicago? North Baton Rouge? Jackson MS? The list goes on.

So, you have given up your ignorant point that the President can only send in troops if the Governor of Illinois allows it and are now just throwing shite against the wall?

If we are able to get the worst thugs off the street (a very small % of violent crimes are committed by the same ones over and over), and change the culture, this country will be in a much better place in the future.

At first glance, my impulse is to say that there is no constitutional authority for this request. However, after looking at it and actually reading the request, it makes perfect sense in that the military/national guard would assisting federal law enforcement (such as ICE) in the apprehension and removal of illegals in the area. This is not a request to use any part of the military or national guard to support local law enforcement or to even attempt to enforce anything other than federal law that has already been established as under the authority of the federal government and not that of the states or municipalities.

Trump's tendency to exaggerate hurts him. When he spews nonsense such as "without our help, L.A. would have burned to the ground," it undercuts his many actual victories.

Stay calm. It’s only for immigration removal enforcement.

He/She's throwing the same shite against the wall that Gavin Newsom has been regurgitating for over a week. Lib's "talking points" get so tired and worn out - they parrot off each other, copycats.

Bad, bad idea.

Okay if they stick to Federal law then that can work. Just know that Abbott and Costello will be looking for any little thing.

Nope. Don't like this either.

Democrats LOVE criminals. Let them have their crime.

Then you should vote for local and state politicians who are tougher on crime. Not beg daddy to come in with the army and save you because you can’t handle the freedoms and responsibilities of being a citizen in this country.


Gtfo with this crap. There are millions of people who voted for tough on crime policies in these states, but our voices get canceled out by figs in Atlanta & the like. The rest of the state is overruled by one big city.

It's the exact problem that the electoral college solves

Is there a lot of crime in rural GA because of the liberal voters in Atlanta?

Atlanta is different in that the liberal mayor, liberal council, liberal DA office are actually tough on crime and don't demonize the police department, and actually work with them. There's crime in Atlanta, but the people haven't been completely abandoned by woke local leaders the way many of the other big cities have.

There isn't a lot of crime in rural GA. Just tractors & peanuts.

Here's a map since I already know you'll disagree:

GA Crime by County

There are a shitton more liberal state policies that I didn't vote for because of Atlanta, that's for sure

You should write to your governors office about having the National Guard patrol the rural farmland of Georgia then.
