Joint Chiefs Chairman: ‘You’re Talking 35,000 People a Week’ Crossing the SW Border; ‘That’s an Army Corps’

By: CNS News, April 2, 2023:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week refused again to call the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border a “crisis,” but Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had no such reluctance when he testified before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday:

“So, there is a crisis at that border,” Milley said.

He was responding to a question about whether President Joe Biden has ever asked Milley for a briefing about national security threats at the southern border:

“I have been in several meetings and briefings, principals’ committees, and other forums specifically about the southern border…A couple of them were with the vice president and some discussions with the president,” Milley said.

“Now, if I could, look, at the southern border situation is a very serious situation, and you know it as well as I do.

“And that there’s some — I think it’s in the range — the reports I get is about 5,000 a day. You’re talking about 35,000 people a week. That’s an Army Corps that comes across that border.

“And then, with the fentanyl issue that you’re talking about, look, I don’t know what the exact numbers are. But, the ranges that have been reported to me is something between 70 and 100,000. That’s an enormous amount of casualties and people dying, young kids dying in our communities.

“So, there is a crisis at that border. Now, the question is what do you do about it? And we have to work much closer, I think anyway with Mexico. There’s certain things that have to be done along the border with the CPB and others. Now, that’s out of our lane. That’s DHS, et cetera.”

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said he was told by General Glen VanHerck, head of the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, that President Biden could ask the military to do more about border security, but Milley said he’d have to check with VanHerck about that:

“I personally think the primary, the lead, should be on the border itself, clearly law enforcement as opposed to the military,” Milley said.

“Now, mechanically could you line up divisions of troops? Of course you could. But, is that the right thing to do? Is that the right way to do it? And I would certainly advise against that.

We’ll execute whatever decisions are made. But, lining up –”

The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”

When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.

Biden with his wrecking as in ruining the safety and security of the US citizens by his destroying the US/Mexican secure and safe borders.

Biden is an abomination and an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.

As for the specific subject of the US/Mexican borders, the “measure” of Biden is an outright catastrophe.

The people under Biden who are plotting this forget the wild card in the room: Islam. The lib/commies think that they will be the ultimate beneficiaries of the destruction of America, but it may be the Muslims who will take over with their jizya and jihad. These treasonous dreck who occupy the government will find out that if the Muslims take over, they will treat them no better than those of us who support the…”Zionist entity.” The slaughter the Islamic terrorists will inflict upon this treasonous bunch would be called an example of “reality’s justice,” to quote an Ayn Rand phrase.

The harm President Imposter Biden is doing to America by his “open door” policy or better termed “No border policy” is totally despicable”.

Since Biden entered the White House and is sitting in the Oval Office and he has now reversed all the good former President Trump did by his secure border policy .For when Biden stopped the construction and even destroyed some of the wall of the US/Mexican border wall. Now there is has been and is now drastic increase in many heinous and vile crime and also a sharp rise in the drug trafficking.

It’s very obvious that bogus president Biden is taking American down fast and should be impeached. The only reason that socialist Biden shouldn’t be removed from Office is because he would then be replaced by Communist, Kamala Harris.

That awful “no secure US /Mexican border policy” of Joe Biden is a catastrophe in many ways.

To give only a few examples out of many is that drug trafficking and forced sex trafficking has terribly increased since Biden has been in Office.

Likewise many criminal gangs who deal in drugs as well as rape and murder , steal ,loot and do other heinous criminal activities , as the despicable vicious street gangsters known as MS -13 , have now quickly by US porous borders .

A number of ISIS , al Qaeda jihadists and members other similar jihad terror murder Islamic entities have entered America through porous US /Mexican borders in the scheming intentions of inflecting murderous destruction in Americans and America. The furtherance of the spread of the dreaded coronavirus across the USA starting from the porous border area , all thanks to that dangerous and subversive pseudo President Biden.

Bogus President Biden must truly like is porous US /Mexican borders to ruin America. What a treasonous despicable fiend Biden must actually be.

Socialist Joe Biden is under ,very much under the control and influence of that Communist VP Kamala Harris are together are sinister plot wreck to wreck the USA are both , with their Red/Green alliance are the epitome of evil and destruction.

As Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”

Crazy Eyes said wearing his female panties and nylons under his uniform. He checked his white rage long enough to put his finger to the wind and see that it is blowing away from the DemoNazi Party.

He realized he has two years until President Trump returns and indicts him for treason for taking his order from the CCP. In a desperate effort, he admitted what is self evident to anyone with two eyes and a rational mind.

How long has the border been open? My entire life less the time President Trump was in the WH.
The border between the US and Mexico cannot be secure without a barrier that stops human traffic, and that never existed until the wall was built. The previous barriers were as effective at stopping human traffic as a screen is at stopping airflow.

The open border is, and has always been, premeditated mass murder and treason….for profit, and more importantly as part of a war against our Republic and against The People of our Republic.

I noticed the border problem at least 40 years ago, and felt the damage from it. I guess some people count and some people don’t….in this greatest nation on earth. We have been the greatest illusion on earth for the last century. Imagine thinking that we have been defending and spreading freedom while our own border is wide open. Even the churches have been on the wrong side of that river.

Enjoy my replacements. I am the currency you spent to have them.

They didn’t have to announce it. They also had to be careful so they could bring us to ruins slowly without us noticing their intent.

The current regime took the mask off because they have to finish us off. They don’t have time to finish us off while they hide behind churches and businesses and media. The People are beginning to catch on. This isn’t just corruption, this is a war that has been in progress for a very long time.

Biden is a reflection of the Democrat Party. He couldn’t be so corrupt for so long without the support and protection of an equally corrupt and equally hostile political party.

The same party enslaved this nation to a foreign central bank. The king of Great Britain was trying to enslave the colonies to the monetary system of the Central Bank of England.

The same party waged war against our Republic for the right to own people. That war was the Civil War. They didn’t suddenly love us when they lost.

What’s the difference between a kingdom and a communist country? The name. Both are ruled by families.

Muslims also own people. Human slavery and trafficking is part of their doctrine.
Which political party includes Muslims? The Democrat Party.

I have only visited West Point as I do live nearby. However, without experience I could do a better and give a better answer then Miley mouth. We are being invaded and it is as bad as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The President is dementia riddled but Citizens will pay the cost.
Get rid of posse camatotess and put troops on the border. Use American troops to help with drug invasion and money flowing back. Remove all illegal aliens and cut down legal immigration to ten percent.

Prosecute drug smugglers with less then half a pound of cocaine, heroin or fentanyl to 30 years. More then that to the death penalty. Problem solved.

Defending our borders more important then troops in Europe, South Korea etc.

Yes there should be buses running 24/7 for years returning these criminal invaders back to the Mexican border, then a militarized wall enforced. See how well Mexico likes 40 million illegal aliens in their neighborhoods.

The body count is higher than he says it is. No mention of how this invasion by invitation, that has been in progress for my entire life, affects the wages of working class citizens. This mass immigration is crushing the backbone of this nation by design. The people who belong here can’t raise families as they should be able to, and they’re being replaced by families from across the border. It’s so difficult to afford a family that we slaughter our children before they are born.

Imagine how hard life was 250 years ago. 250 years ago the people here were raising larger families than we do now, and they were eager to do so. That’s a primary reason why people fled Europe. They wanted to raise families free from the tyranny of royalty.

How is it that every advance in technology has worked against us? Everyone should be asking that question. The answer is that the people who really control our technology have been using it to control us. They couldn’t get rid of us or put us on our knees with an army, so they changed our environment to change us. They’re changing us and diluting us and replacing us.

A lot of people say population reduction is part of a global plan that is unfolding. Tell me how replacing the current population with a population that breeds faster is going to reduce the population? They’re setting the stage for extermination. What happens when many millions of military aged people from rough places start looking for food if there is a food shortage? They won’t be looking or food in the slums, they’ll be looking for food where the nice houses are. Maybe some of the folks who always thought a dollar was a guarantor of a better future should think about that. Your gated communities will become death traps because not only with the invaders be looking for food, the people you f****** for a dollar will also be looking for food, and they’ll be looking for payback on top of that. Ever wonder what the word Whore is describing? It’s not a woman under the sheets. Put that in your intellectual pipes and puff on it for a while.
