Of course it is! Just another example of Donny playing to his base at taxpayer expense.

A month after President Trump called for sending National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, the head of the national Border Patrol union called the deployment "a colossal waste of resources."

"We have seen no benefit," said Brandon Judd, president of the union that represents 15,000 agents, the National Border Patrol Council.
Someone might be along to call me nuts and laugh at me, but..... I have a well informed connection in these matters. Here's how this went down;

Trump initially tried to order the military to send 200,000 troops to the border.....TO SANDBAG....because he's frustrated with the lack of meaningful progress in the wall construction. Contrary to his claims, it is not going well. The military brass told him they didn't have that many troops to give him for that purpose without crippling other commitments.
