Trump wanted to sent 250,000 troops - or half the US Army - to the border to deal with the migrants: Defense Secretary rejected largest use of troops inside the country since the Civil War because Mexico would see it as an act of aggression
2021-10-20
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Donald Trump wanted to send 250,000 troops to mitigate the southern border in spring 2020 – during the onset of the pandemic

  • Homeland Security Secretary Mark Esper was vehemently against the plan

  • Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's immigration agenda, first had the idea but didn't push it when Esper wanted to ditch the plan to deploy half the Army

  • At the time, Trump's administration had already started implementing Title 42

  • The provision allows the CDC to turn back migrants during a health emergency

  • The Biden administration is still using Title 42 to send back illegal immigrants
