Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered 3,000 active duty troops to the southern border to provide "full operational control" of the border. Most of the troops are from an armored brigade equipped with Stryker armored vehciles, although there are also specialists in areas like engineering and intelligence.

European countries have long deployed military units, often with armored vehicles to defend their borders against illegal alien migrant incursions. Poland, LIthuania, Latvia, Hungary, Austria, Macedonia, and Greece have all included armored combat vehicles in border duty against migrants, and Greece also deployed tanks.

Meanwhile, the Border Patrol is reporting a record low number of border crossers, with Feburary 2025 down 94% from February 2024.

I hope they will be given rules of engagement similar to those given to Latvian troops sent to their border with Belarus where Arab and African migrants were entering. Those were to use whatever level of force deemed necessary, but to stop them from crossing into the country.

Ten Years (now 25 years later) After 9/11: a Recollection, a Time to Remember

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
