50 NG to help cover 1,241 miles of border? That's nearly 25 miles per soldier. Is she sending transport as well? It takes 7 hrs to walk 25 miles. 14 round trip.

What a waste of time & money. Not to mention taking soldiers away from family. Stupid PR stunt.

Who the f cares. Nothing is going to change no matter how many people go to the fn Texas border. Nothing changes until what they are fleeing from changes.
