Wait....what???
Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking the National Guard to mobilize in an effort to deal with the migrants that are being bused to the city from southern states.
The mayor, who has championed accepting migrants entering the country illegally as a human rights issue, requested the DC National Guard be activated indefinitely to assist with what she called a humanitarian crisis.
Bowser is asking that the DC Armory be used as a processing center and DC National Guard resources be used to help field migrants as they arrive by bus.
What's your confusion?
She isn't asking the NG to repel the migrants or to return them to the states busing them to DC. She's seeking extra bodies to help DC manage them and get temporary quarters set up.
I do wonder if this was done to DC or done with DC.
Hahaha...
It has been stated here that Ms.Bowser cannot ask for National Guard.
No, you are mistaken.
She cannot order the NG. She can ask for them.
There you go
And she did the exact opposite, inexplicably
SHE COULD NOT ASK THEM TO BE SENT TO THE CAPITAL.
Not directly. Not via an order. This is what I hear. You have something different?
ASK was the word I used, numbskull.
She can
ask for them to come to non-national places, but she does not have the RIGHT to even ASK for them to go to federal property.
You really seem to be struggling with this very simple fact.
I have posted a quote about it, but you resisted it. I posted a single bolded sentence and you
still keep ignoring what I said.
