It’s no secret that Donald Trump wants to put
2,000–4,000 troops on the U.S.–Mexico border. And that’s because he
believes that the “security of the United States is imperiled by a
drastic surge of illegal activity on the southern border.”
We love hearing Doug Casey’s take on these controversial issues, so we’re sharing
Casey Daily Dispatch editor Justin Spittler’s conversation with him on the topic.
Justin: What do you make of this, Doug? Will deploying thousands of troops to the border curb illegal immigration?
Doug: Well, it looks like what could have been a
crisis has been temporarily defused. What might have been thousands of
migrants rushing the border has apparently dwindled to a few stragglers.
A non-event.
