However, Walker did not say whether he would activate Wisconsin National Guard members and send them to the border as governors in Texas and Arizona have done.

“The state of Wisconsin has not been asked to assist with any southwest border missions at this time,” said Walker spokeswoman Amy Hasenberg. “If our assistance is needed, Major General Donald Dunbar, Wisconsin’s Adjutant General and homeland security adviser, will brief Governor Walker and plans of support will be made at that time.”

Walker’s statements came in response to a letter from U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Black Earth, who urged him not to send Wisconsin National Guard troops to the Mexican border..........................

He never explained how the hundreds of miles of border which runs through four of the five Great Lakes were going to be walled up.

Not the freshest potato chip in the bag.

Texas already has their economy propped up with half the military bases in the country stationed there. This is all they need....MORE welfare programs to boost their "right to work" economy.

Nonsense. If you want to put in more military bases...I suggest you go to New Mexico or Arizona....or some states where they don't already have half their economy dependent on military aid.

The roof is about to blow off on the ever increasing Trump scandals, and this moron wants to throw more of himself into the Trump crime syndicate? Not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree, are you Scotty?
