Because that's what the Boss wants, period.
They're there because there's no wall.
Is it really that hard to figure out dems ?
The military is there because the American people have voted for them to be there. Securing the border was one of the 3 main issues in the last presidential election. Get over it democrats, you lost that election.
Idiot the US is being invaded.
