'There is already a humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere, and deploying military personnel only signals that migrants are a threat that require our nation’s troops to contain,' said Sen. Menendez. Top Dem rips Biden plan to send troops to border:
A top Senate Democrat is hammering a plan to send another 1,500 active-duty troops to the southern border, calling it "the militarization of the border" and "unacceptable."
He was reacting to Tuesday's news that the Biden administration is planning a temporary military border deployment to assist agents ahead of an expected influx of migrants seeking asylum. "The administration has had over two years to plan for the eventual end of this Trump-era policy in a way that does not compromise our values as a country," Menendez said. "I have offered them a strategic and comprehensive plan, which they have largely ignored. Trying to score political points or intimidate migrants by sending the military to the border caters to the Republican Party’s xenophobic attacks on our asylum system.
The additional troops, which are being sent to fill a request from the Department of Homeland Security, will fill “critical capability gaps,” including detection and monitoring, data entry and warehouse support. They will be there for up to 90 days, after which military reservists or contractors will do the work."U.S.
