The passage of a noteworthy piece of legislation has put in place the necessary means to complete the border wall across the southern border of the United States. This was reported by Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma during an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
The senator, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has indicated that the additional resources provided by this legislation will also contribute to strengthening the Border Patrol, hence enhancing its deterrence capabilities.
The Marines are currently deployed at the border to counter the cartels, entities that are not just well-funded but also equipped with military training and armaments. Consequently, these cartels have frequently managed to outmatch the Border Patrol in terms of firepower and manpower.
Mullin has also attributed an increase in military recruitment and retention in the U.S. Army to President Trump. In his words, “If you’re a young man and you’re a patriot, you want to serve underneath this president.” It seems that Trump’s influence is seen by some as revitalizing pride in the military, reflected in increased recruitment and retention numbers.
The senator asserted that members of the armed forces who were considering leaving have chosen to stay and serve under President Trump, perceived by them as a commander-in-chief who can facilitate significant, generational changes within the Department of Defense. The facts, as we now know them, suggest that both President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have been instrumental in this shift.
It has been reported that significant legislation has cleared the way for the completion of the border wall and bolstered the capabilities of the Border Patrol. It also appears that the current administration has had a positive impact on military recruitment and retention. This raises important questions about the future of these developments and their impact on our nation.
